Re: Cj7 Jeeps
This company (link below) had a display at the Lauderdale Boat Show a few months back. He had a killer scrambler, a cj7 to die for and one or two other highly custome projects on display. He does Scouts too. I was impressed.

If you guys have put on lifts, which ones did you like, I was thinking of going 2.5" to 4" suspension. I would like a decent ride, I have a new frame coming in the next couple of days, and will need a lift kit next.

I restored a CJ7 about 15 years ago. The body was rotted like swiss cheese. I put a wranger tub with a sb chevy & used it for plowing. Man that was a work horse. Over the years with the road salt the frame was toast.

Here's a project I started over 15 years ago. Frame and oem steel tub from Texas. Lost motivation. I have all the sheet metal & would be a great project if someone is interested. $1000 takes it !

We have the body parts for my brother's project, but we are still waiting for the frame to arrive. We are using a Matkins frame and a new aluminum body tub. We had the frame made with motor mounts for a small block Chevy. We are also going from a 3 speed to a 4 speed transmission. I will post pics as we go along.
