About my CJ7

I've bought this jeep 13 years ago for $1500.00. I drove it for three weeks, and then tore it completly apart  and did a three year long ground up restoration.I originally built it stock with a rancho 2 1/2" lift , a winch and a brand new YJ tub. Over the last three years, I have installed a rubicon express 4 1/2" lift with 8 rancho adjustable shocks,yukon axles front and rear, 4:10 gears, detroit locker in the back, and a trutrac in the front, Iswapped out the 258 for a mildly built 304,edelbrock intake & carb, MSD ignition, K&N filter, aluminum rad,a custom built polished aluminum shroud with a flexlite electric fan.I,m now running 36-13.5-15 iroc swampers. I use this unit mostly for recreation , but I do alot of moose hunting with it as well.
