Is your CJ tub a "Jeep" or a "Joop"

Does anyone have a Laredo model "Joop" CJ that can disprove my theory?

I was surprised to see my five-year old post as a “new post”. :)

Since posting my question 5 years ago (and a fair amount of wrenching since then), I’m still running under the assumption my 1985 Laredo “Joop” is the original tub. (I did though find some bondo covering up rear tire-stop bracket holes.)

From above, yes I have an early 86 Laredo and it like all the 83 on CJs I've seen say Joop under the decal


Well this is going to mess with your minds. I have an all original 1986 that says Jeep

Not the decal, but the sheet metal? What is the first digit of your VIN......wondering if it'd not from the Toledo plate or from Mexico or Canada maybe?

Cant believe I just went outside with a flashlight to check at 1AM. LOL
1977 CJ-7 Jeep both sides
1981 CJ-8 Jeep both sides minus a lil rock rash.
1983 CJ-8 Jeep both sides

Got a freind dropping his 86 CJ-7 off wed for me to rebuild the tranny. Will check his tub as well. Not sure if any of this helps with the worn die theory but this kind of quirky Jeep info I like.LOL

Later
