Ok... Its a 86 CJ7. My dad had one when I was a kid and I've always wanted one for myself. Most of the parts are there and the tub has some sort of rubberish coating on it. Only carnage I have found so far is a broken shackle/bolt. The dash and windshield was removed to fix a spot of rust that was starting due to a leaking seal. I do have doors, but no top. Probably gonna leave it that way too. I do need some headlight buckets if anyone has some laying around. Its got 33" rubber which are shot. (imagine that)

Ya know, I'm wondering why Jeep would put such a reasonably strong t case (d300) in something that has toothpicks for driveshafts. They may be stronger than they look, I guess...

what was you doing last night?


http://www.macon.com/2011/08/24/1676140/tow-truck-pursued-2-hurt-in-atlanta.html

ATLANTA -- An Atlanta police officer and a child are being treated at Grady Memorial Hospital after a tow truck being pursued by police chase struck a house.

Police say an officer tried to pull over the tow truck because it was towing a pickup truck that was improperly secured.

WSB-TV reports ( http://bit.ly/osXb5R) Atlanta police Capt. Van Hobbs says the driver refused to stop and a chase ensued. Hobbs says the truck became detached from the wrecker in southeast Atlanta and hit the patrol car, knocking it into a fence.

Hobbs says the tow truck driver jumped out of his moving truck, which hit two houses, injuring a 12-year-old girl.

Police say the tow truck driver has been arrested. The conditions of the officer and the child aren't known.

Mostly I'm gonna leave it stock for now. Gonna give it a few coats of hot rod satin black, do a couple maintenance things to it and ride.  I've got a better set of 33's to put on too.  Ill probably get a bikini top as well.  Eventually when the old wheezer 258 gives up I'll plant a v-8 in and some leg burner side pipes.
