It's a JEEP thing, CJ7 Style!

The CJ7


In the Summer or 2003, my Dad picked up a 1985 AMC CJ7. He bought it and a travel trailer as a package deal, and by the time he did some horsetrading, he made out pretty good on the jeep--even though we are still finding warts on it!


A view of the 7 behind Dad's place. The tires in the background are off the '63 Willy's, and are now on the 7.


The other side of the 7. Plans currently call for Dad and I to swap my 5 for the 7. He wants the shorter wheelbase and V-8. I want the extra room. However, I'm currently getting the steering and brakes upgraded on the 5, so that may change. 'Sides, I have a lot of fun with the 5!


A last shot. You can see the size of the rubber we now have mounted on the 7. It gets around pretty well considering it has open diffs on both ends. 'Course the Warn on the front gives a sense of confidence in "iffy" situations!
