About my CJ7

She's got a 304 V8 with a slushbox and a dana 300,a spring over and 33X12.50R15 TSL super swampers. We relocated the rollbar back about 6 inches to fit the bench seat in to fit my 6'8" frame behind the wheel. About 90% of the cab floor was replaced with handfabbed panels. Had to fix the exhaust a bit and notch the skidplate for front driveshaft clearance. Corner armour came with the CJ and rocker armour was handfabbed from scrap aluminum. The angle iron on the rockers is from old bed frames. The green paint was an old gallon of tremclad that had been in my bro's shop for a number of years. My son bought the jeep 3 years ago for $500. It had been rolled once and needed new windsheild frame,hood and tailgate. I had those parts from a CJ-7 I had stripped down years ago.After my son moved away it sat in my back yard for the last 2 years. My bros and me spent 4 weeks putting it all together and total cost for the build was $120. Been lovin it ever since.
