Not as cheap as I was hoping for sure. But this was more of an emotional purchase than a business decision. Never a "good deal" when the heart/memories are involved.

Yeh, but sometimes those end up being the best ones. Its a nice one anyways and will be just as fun. Can't put a price on that. Good luck and let us know.
 
This was from our local Cars and Coffee meet Saturday. 3 Scramblers in a row. There was another one there also but he wasn't parked by us. There are a few more in town too but we haven't managed to all get together at the same time yet.

I like the grill comparison shot. that's a great view. I'm liking the flattie more and more.
 
got the CJ7 torn down and taken to paint last weekend. between the back seat of the truck, bed and trailer it's all there.

New tires and wheels on the Scrambler today. Does it look bad not having the original wagon wheels? Mine were so rusty and old I decided to try something different until I can restore the old ones.

I figured gr8dain did a threefer shot in his driveway, I would do the same. Three long wheel based work vehicles at my house.
And no, those are not my batgirl glasses silly. I have superman ones.11.jpg12.jpg12.jpg
 
The first time that my CJ got to meet the Willys.

With a hydraulic winch even. Glad to see I am not the only one with that winch.

Yes the good old Milemarker,its a bit slow when on the low ratio but they just keep pulling.
I have rescued a few people stuck with it normally after they have asked "does your winch work mate"

These are the only engine bay shots i could find, needs a good jetwash off i know!
I bought this CJ6 quite a few years ago off a friend who had recently bought it just for the 3.8 litre engine and gearbox to fit in his CJ5.
The Jeep was cheap to buy (arent they all when you start off!) so i thought i would try and make something a bit more economical but still fun to drive with a blank canvas for engine and gearbox.
Engine is a 3.0 litre Turbo diesel 4 cylinder out of a Toyota 4 Runner.along with its 5 speed gearbox, I think you got the 4 runner in the States of some sort but yours probably had the V6 in it.

Its got bags of low down torque so is enormous fun off road so its kind of turned in to an off roading toy now that i have the 8 to cruise round in, unfortunately this also means its now permanently covered in dust and mud.

Its had a few modifications like a narrowed Dana 44 in the front after the original Dana 30 chipped some teeth and the steering box bracket had to be fabricated out of some proper plate as the original cast one collapsed one day when under load and other than eating spring bushes for fun its been a good little truck to say the majority of it other than the drive train is well over 40 years old now.
