I picked this up for 1300 bucks from a guy who moved here (Las Vegas, NV) from California. The guy was living in a higher end of vegas and moving into his sisters place...she said "The jeep goes, or you do" so he sold the jeep. Sitting on 38 inch tires and a good list of work to do, I purchased this for my father to get a project going and he can build it his way to wheel with my XJ.

 

I thought that was TJ paint. First I thougth it was a TJ haha. Looks great men!

 

Sorry been away for a while, Had some family problems. Those CJ's look great. I havent had the first second of time to do anything with mine. Maybe since i have setled down i will get around to the list of things to do on in if my wallet can withstand it

 

Well, technically it is not a CJ. It's a 1953, M38A1 which is the first year of the body style, CJ5 styles followed in 1954 1/2.

 

Started with this:



And built it into this over one summer:



and with my copilot:



She's been my daily driver for the last 10 years and loved everything except for the short wheel based ride. Even with the shackle reversal built into the new frame it still rode like a lumber wagon. Summer time with the top off is the best.

 

I have an 83 cj7, 4 inch lift, 35 baja claws, 15x12 alcoas, 4.10 gears, detroit lockers, winch, shackle reversal, alloy axles, Rock Hard full cage, Blueprinted and balanced 4.2, stroked, dyno'd 415hp with 850 double pumper, currently being redone-frame-up.

 

Here's a front shot of my DD '85 CJ-7. It got a 258, auto, A/C, hardtop/doors, cruise, 56,??? miles, very rare factory/dealer installed brush guard/ramsey winch, marchal lights. I don't believe the winch has ever been used, judging by the lack of marks on the fairlead, winch does work though.

I also have a CJ10a I am trying to sell, an '81 CJ-8, and a '73 CJ-6, both projects.
