Bill Rhoads' 1979 CJ5

Bill's CJ-5 has an all fiberglass body, including fenders,hood, and windshield frame. A 304 was installed, and 31 inch tires, and this is pretty much the way I bought it, and I got it for a REALLY cheap price. Now it's time to start re-working it!!!

Michael Meditz's 1975 CJ5

"This is a picture of my 1975 CJ5 that I have recently restored. Replaced the 258 with a slightly stronger than stock 304, 4" Superlift lift kit with a 3" body lift, new Smittybuilt bumpers and nerf bars, new carpet kit and Bestop seats with fold and tumble rear seat, new BesTop SuperTop, KMC 15x10 polished aluminum with Goodyear M/Ts 35x12.50x15's. Replaced front fenders with new and welded new metal in tub where needed. The metallic green paint and the dual Flowmaster mufflers really make this Jeep stand out. We just love it!"

Gavin Faucett's 1983 CJ7

"This is my first Jeep. I bought it used stone cold stock. Every mod has either been done by myself or the guys at 4state4wd in Joplin, MO. It has a 2" body lift with a 4" Big Dick's Suspension lift. It sits on 35x12.50 MT Baja Radial Claws with Bead locks. The front and rear are both locked with Lock Right lockers. The rear end has a one-piece superior axle upgrade. The transfer case is a Dana 300 with twin stick. It has new stainless steel brake lines, a 4 plus steering box brace, and sway bar quick disconnects. Night wheelin' is made possible by 2 130w Pro Comp Explorers. Heavy duty rocker and corner panels have already saved the new paint job. The paint job was done in my back yard with Van sickle Industrial paint ($20 a gallon at the local farm and home store). It has a spray-on bed liner on the inside along with a CB and Highlift jack. A roll cage is coming soon along with a winch, 4.56 gears, and bolt on fuel injection. The engine is still a stock i6 258 with an overhaul in the not too distant future."

Malcolm Manchester's 1983 CJ7

"I live in England & came over to buy my Jeep from Ocean City, MD. This was a cheaper option for me as parts & labor costs are expensive over here. The Jeep was 99% finished when I purchased it.

Details are: 1983 CJ-7, AMC401, Edelbrook Cam, 600cfm carb, Headers. Spring over with 12in Alcoa's wearing 35x14.50 Thornbirds.

The only off road it does at the moment is take my PWC in & out of the sea. Quicker than a Winch (haha)!"

Rich Dilibero's 1980 CJ7

"This is my 1980 CJ7. It has a 4-inch Rancho suspension lift, with a 4-inch body lift. It's got a 1980 Corvette Chevy 350, dual-exhaust and headers, a custom front bumper, CB, and 33-inch tires. This is just us playin' in the mud, and when my driveshaft torqued on me. It's in desperate need of a paint job and a little TLC but I'll manage.

Future upgrades include a winch, definately, and maybe a little softer suspension."

Walt Lucas' 1976 CJ7

Walt Lucas' 1976 CJ7

"I have had this Jeep for two years now. It needed plenty of work. Powerplant is a 360 V8 in front of a T18 4-speed. Dana Power Loc in the front, one-piece axles and a Detroit in the back. Four-inch spring lift and 33's. It's a good thing it's not a close up photo, I did the body work myself. 22-gallon fuel tank. 8,000 pound Warn upright winch. I swapped the seats for buckets. I am planning on an underhood welder (Shhh...Don't tell my wife!). Rolling proof that Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!"
