I got this in 2007. It was my first jeep and I really loved it. It started me on the path to my current projects. I traded it for my Scrambler and I have never looked back.

1997 SE TJ
4 Banger w/ some upgrades
2" spacers on grand cherokee/crown vic springs
SYE
Currie Tie Rod
Warn Bumpers front and rear
Front Loc Rite
Winch
Rock Lights
more stuff that I don't feel like typing.....

This thing was really a beast offroad. I had lot of fun cutting my Jeep teeth with this.

Here is my first and current Jeep that is road worthy. I bought it back in March 1991 in CT and it has been through hell and back with me. This jeep has been out west when I was in the Air Force as my only vehicle and at 5 Jeep events in Moab, wheeled all across Utah, parts of Idaho and even Kansas. I drove it back to CT in 1998 and it has resided here ever since. It did not llook nearly as nice but I do not have any before pictures online.

My Scrambler is my first Jeep, I've just had it a long time. This pic was taken around 1996, so I'd had it about 10 years by then. This was on our way into the Bloomsburg 4 Wheel & Off Road Jamboree, we used to go there every year. Many of those years, my Scrambler was either the only one there, or one of two.

I son't think I have any of my first. It was a 1986 Cherokee Pioneer with 2 doors and the vent windows in the back. 5 speed. It was back in 86. I will have to try to find one. You are making me think up a bunch of great memories of that beast (even if it was the 2.5L).

I'll play


In Anchorage with my brother the first day I laid eyes on it and paid for it. Totally clueless

Here was mine... Got it when I was 16. It was not only my first Jeep, it was my first vehicle.

(this is how I bought it, I did not paint "spider" on the hood)

It was a 1980 CJ-7.
Fiberglass body.
sh!tbrown paint.
"Spider" on the hood
"Its got the look" on the back of the tub... Yeah It was pretty retarded.
Holes in the frame that I could put my fist through.... seriously.
4.2L that got gallons to the mile...
bald 35" super swampers (and a "Firestone" decal on the windshield, I didnt put it there)
non-working 4wd. (even though there was a biga$$ "4X4" on the side) Got stuck EVERY where, including being stuck in this picture.
no heat...

Had it for 6 months... shed a tear when I saw it drive away after I sold it. It was a POS...

Why are you not taking credit for all of those great stylish treatments. It looks awesome. I love how you shed a tear getting rid of that POS.

I actually shed a tear when my dad traded my XJ in on an F150 after the engine needed a third rebuild.

My first jeep which happen to be my first vehicle was a 84 Cj7. My parents bought it for me when I turned 16 in 1995.
They bought it from the original owner. I sold it when I went off to college. The first picture was from 4+ years ago when I found it after 12 years have passed, believe it or not it still looked just the way I had it in High School, just a little beat up…… I remember installing that light bar like it was yesterday and thinking how awesome it was.


The next few pics was a few months after I bought it back and redid it. I kept it for a year and like an idiot I sold it a few years ago. I’m hoping one day I will come across it again and buy it back for the second time. I should have never sold it again, but I needed the funds at the time.

I'm officially calling you 'Spider' from here on out.

That's awesome!

Way on the SH!T BROWN !!

 

[jerseyjeeps]

Great thread idea!

I had to dig out the old prints and here it is, circa 1996, my first jeep was a 1984 with a crappy repaint over bondo, and 6cyl T-5 combo. This one started it all, I took it to college freshman year but then sold it six months later when i found a better one.

The coolest, most useless CJ ever built. Okay, maybe a bit exaggerated but here are the highlights (and rationale for the statement)
- 6" of lift
- Open diff's
- Narrow track axles
- 2.54 gears
- 1-piece axles
- 35 Boggers
- 375+ HP built (big lopey cam, carb, etc.) V8
- Manual steering
- Manual brakes

 

[CHIEFWAHO]

Found pictures of my first Jeeps. Have to get them scanned. Stay tuned.
First was 1977 CJ5 Golden Eagle, 2nd was a 1978 CJ7 Levi's Edtion.
Those started my Scrambler habit.

 

[Polarfire]

I looked at several CJ's when I was 16 (in 1992), I even remember test driving a very nice '85 CJ-7 Renegade that was all original, black with blue stripes that was awesome but my mom wouldn't let me get a Jeep at 16. So it was 2000, when I was 24, before I got my first Jeep. My first Jeep was a '98 TJ Sport. It was completely stock and I built it myself. I loved that thing! I had it until 2010 when I traded it straight up for my Scrambler and I haven't regretted it since!

I don't have any pics of what it looked like when I first got it but it was puny with the very small stock tires and 3.07 gears. This is what I ended up with:

RE 4.5" Short-arm lift, XJ HP30 and D44 axles with ARB's and 4.56 gears and full chromoly shafts, Currie HD steering and Anti-rock, 36" Swampers on Mickey Thompson forged wheels, Warn XD9000i, GenRite aluminium fuel tank, AEV rocker protection, Koz Offroad full through-the-dash cage and rear bumper/swing-out, and a bunch of other mods I did over the years.

 

[revho]

I've posted this pic before in another thread before I think somewhere.

I think it was a 1979 CJ-7. It had a 3 speed 304. Soft top was alright. Hole the size of your fist on the drivers side inner frame rail by the rear wheel. I added a 2.5" skyjacker lift and old school BFG 33". I think I had a couple years if memory serves.

Here she is... being brought back from Alabama via Virginia this night at a buddy's house... found her, bought her and went down to get her.
It was love at first sight for my first mid-life crisis... I think that was around 28 years old or something? I am gearing up for another mid-life crisis soon!

My first Jeep was an 1987 XJ Cherokee. 31's, 3" lift, bright red. I'll have to find some pics to scan in. First CJ was an 1982 CJ7, rattle can black with a 4 cyl. No pics of it... between my wife and I we've had 84 vehicles in 32 years of marriage...and we don't have pictures of 1/4 of them.
