The reason I've been neglecting the FZ6....

I've been busy on Jeep project. Aside from a few small things, it's finally "done", for now. They say Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket and they're right!!

Looks nice :thumbup: Never really wanted a jeep until the last couple years. I like the old style the best although the new 4dr. wranglers do occasionally catch my eye.

Mexi....

Nice JEEP! Which is it a CJ-7 or a CJ-5? I can't remember what the years of mfg for each of the models.

I have had a CJ-7, early 90's YJ and also a 2000 TJ. My jeeps were the most fun vehicles I ever owned.....and they definitely drained my pockets...

Thanks for posting...:rockon:

Makes me really miss our CJ-7.

Very nice, my 1st love is my 93 Wrangler. Living in CO you have so many great trails to ride I'm envious of you! I've built mine more for off roading, odd spending more money on upgrades and replacements than the original Jeep.

Awesome project!

A little of everything it seems. It had some rust in the pan (typical) and that was a fun to repair/replace. I ended up buying another CJ7 just for parts and extra stuff. A few upgrades to the ignition, ditched the stock mechanical fan, small shackle lift, interior was sanded and put herculiner on it. Lots of small tedious things that no one will ever see too. Nothing too crazy, I just wanted a reliable good looking CJ. Plus it takes 2 minutes to take the doors off, or I have a set of half-doors from a Wrangler to go on. :thumbup:

Totally cool rig. Funny thing about them and I don't know whether it's because of it's unique wheelbase and weight but those things seem to get over and through stuff they shouldn't.
Ive got a pretty much stock 05 Rubicon and I love it!

Thought I'd bump this and show the progress. It's become my daily driver for the past couple weeks and had it's first camping expedition last weekend. It's amazing what you can find driving a few miles down some of the "roads" near Lake City, CO.

It's about 200 miles from Durango if you head east to Pagosa Springs, Creede, then north to Lake City. If you go north from Durango to Ouray (70 miles) then east about 10 miles you're there. Pretty places here in Colorado. Can you believe there was still snow?!?
