JerseyJeeps Road Trippin' Thread

Awesome updates! That yellow truck is sweet!
 
You should retire to AR. Low cost of living, normally warm down here, and you can bring all those poor AR Jeeps back home where they belong.....
 
Sounds like a "Plan" Eric. The only flaw I see is once you retire there is NO time to go play. :wave:
 
Last Sunday I went and picked up this project CJ-7 from a guy in PA. Since the Chevy and the car trailer and the dolly are still deep in snow and ice ( I don't use them much in the winter and don't have room to park them at my house and well, yeah this winter got the best of a lot of us! ) So it was back to the trusty tow bar I made in College and the same one I used on the Arkansas Scrambler trip earlier in this thread.

Whats left here is an '84 with 80 k original miles, the frame is excellent no metal work and no body mount issues...surprisingly when looking at that tub. Came with 4 nutmeg seats, dash pad, excellent w-frame and fenders, hood etc. Basically I put his old tub back on the frame just to haul all the stuff home, the tub is totally shot. This was the second trip. First trip was just the Cherokee loaded with the parts. It came with all the stuff from a tear down in boxes labeled. Parts CJs are drying up around here so it was worth the trip.
 
A few Saturdays ago I picked up this thing with the tow bar in CT. That should be the last of the tow bar trips for a while now that the trailer and silverado are unburied from the snow. Weekend road trip post coming soon.

I got back to Road Trippin March 27th-April 2nd. This was a very fast paced trip and didnt have much time to post along the way, but the reason for the trip was to deliver an '86 CJ-7 to a forum member in MN and then picked up a '77 Cheroke Chief in WI on the way back, with a few stops in between, totalling 2400 miles in 5 days. Pics on the way...
 
Jerseyjeeps would make a much better reality show than those picker guys in the Sprinter. I'd watch it.
 
Someday. :wave:

Picked up this in MD the weekend before for board member Scott

Then it stayed on the trailer a week on the street for the neighbors to peek at and complain internally.

It got a kiss from an '86 cousin before it left but really what that was was trying to free up the stuck clutch utilizing the trailer as a stand in for a tree

Then it was on to Ohio Thursday night 7pm departure to get some zzzz at a rest stop from 2 am - 6. Then on the road again to make it to where the chief was.

The chief guy had a 401 that Scott also wanted so into the bed of my truck went all these pieces. I laid eyes on the chief and would pick it up on my way back through

Will post more tomorrow when it was onto MN, Madison, wi and some great brew pubs in between..
 
That 7 looks like it belongs there between those two nice houses.. does the 7 have a nutmeg interior?

I'm guessing Honey since it has the 85-86 stripe down the side. Pretty Laredo for sure.

On the stuck clutch, I've always put the transmission in 3rd or 4th and the starter pops it loose.
 
Yeah it's a white and honey 86 on the trailer. The one parked in front of it is a rattle can army tan '86 I drive. It has a black interior.
