Well, last night Bob Lester, Gary92XJ, my buddy Mike and I got started on my CJ Re/Build up project. We managed to go from a fully wired functional CJ to a rolling frame in only a few hours. We've already found a great many problems, but nothing on the order of hundreds of dollars. I've already been warned that these things nickel and dime you to death. Well, without further ado, here's a rolling frame shot of my CJ.

Want a scrambler? There's one for sale real close to me. The paint looks horrible, but all the panels seem to be straight, and it has a plow package.

Have fun with the build up!

Will do mark. I think it runs. I'll snap a few photos with the digi cam when I get the price from them.

Wow Skorp,
who wouldve thought you'd start such a big 2bbl vs. 4bbl argument on non-tech. I love it. Hopefully some good info came out of it. Send me a link to that front bumper you are interested in if you have it. I'm curious about what it looks like.

LOL, it's in the body tub, and no worries, it's going back on with some tube mufflers. Tonight we pull the engine and begin the frame clean-up, as well as the engine/tranny/tcase cleanup. Progress is going faster than expected! Can't wait for you to be able to join us bro.
