So I have been looking for a CJ-8/CJ-7 for upwards of ten years after growing up with one and seeing them in action down here in South Florida. I could never pull the trigger on the "right one." Well, my wife did the job for me and surprised me on Christmas day this year with a new (old) CJ-8!
I had shown it to her on e-bay about a month before she bought it and she loved it. Lucky for me she somehow found it again (without even remembering I had shown it to her!). It needs some body work and the usual odds and ends, but it runs and drives now which is good enough for me. I plan on fixing things along the way and maybe if I am brave enough a frame off restoration. Some pics attached. Hope to learn a bunch from everyone on here and share in some good stories. Thanks.

Keep a close watch on that woman, you'll have a lot of guys on here going 
over one that will do that!
