So, if you haven't heard I sold my old TJ. Man i miss it, and it was a fun rig while i owned it!
But with plans for my rig costing a ton, i decided to find something a little closer to completion to work on..
So I found a new to me 1980 CJ7 complete with a Cummins 4BTA and 1 ton axles..
and then it begins....
Plans are to link/coil the suspension and rid myself of the leafs.
Put a full tub on the frame, a full cage, a new dash and full restore and rewire of the cab and engine.
Update, did some cleaning some planning and a little cutting the past two days.
Figured out some wiring, and cleaned the air filter and turbo housing. But the pictures I have are from the front of the Jeep, bye bye are the monkey bars from the front.
It needs some easy fabrication but it works great as a substitute for a CJ tub which are hard to find in decent condition. Nothing some metal fab cant handle :thumb:
Its not too tough at all. Just some body mount tweaking and some drilling on the firewall for my application and all is well.

thats what im hoping. Plus, im a fan of a full body Jeep, especially a classic CJ since they are harder and harder to find. Itll end up being some form of comp cut though.
