Don't post on this forum thread much because driving a 7, I'm a bastard stepchild to all of you 8 connoisseurs... However, while doing some research, I came across this really nice pic of an export Jeep that looks like a 4-door precursor to the CJ-6 and 8. Thought you might enjoy the information if nothing else...

Kool!

No need to avoid us, its all good. We're not Jeep Snobs
Heck, I own two 1971 Jeepster Commando's and a Fiberglass bodied CJ/YJ hybred. the CJ-8 has only been around a year now.

So, what makes your CJ-7 a Jamboree Edition?

Post up a pic please.

I saw a few minutes of an old sci-fi movie from 1958 last week. The general and scientists came cruising up in a 4 door Jeep of some sort just prior to blasting the monster. It appeared to be a military vehicle. Doors were off and it had no top. It was only in the scene for a few seconds. Looked a lot like this one.
