76 CJ7 Jeep Restore

76 CJ7 Jeep Restore

Jeep as she arrived on day one

Details on the Jeep

Vin: J6F93EH065187

-Currently has an AMC 401, 3 speed manual tranny

-Has a "Hockey Puck" body lift

-Lots of body rust (or former body rust, depending on how you look at it)

OK, here we go, this is the beginning of my life with my new CJ7. I had a wrangler for a short while, but severe rust caused me to drop her a little early. Now I have the CJ which I intend to use as family entertainment, and also as a project for the family to work on.

Other Things

-Rick's Sandblasting-883-3554- Rick quoted me $200.00 to blast the frame. Needs two days notice.

What to do????

I have a limited budget.... (I know same story as everyone else)

I would like to do some things with the jeep, but I am not sure what to do first.

Plan A

Jeep looks good enough right now.

-New suspension with 2.5 inch suspension lift, and 2" body lift.

-New Mud tires

-Warn winch

-Custom gages for dash

-New stereo

Plan B

Go for looks

-New Fiberglass, Steel, or Aluminum Tub.

Hmmm...I think I will wait a while to decide...try her out on the trails...
