I did a resto on my 81 CJ7 about six years ago and chronicled it on this forum. I'm now here in florida where the salt air has took it's toll on her. I've decided to take it down again do the tilt front end and several other mods. Ill be concentrating mostly on the tilt front end (with a winch) and a few suspension mods. So check back with me.

Welcome back. 6 years? It's been that long already? Yikes!

Salty air or salt water is a CJ killer

I remember now. You were out West then moved. It was a nice Silver Cj. Looking forward to the 2nd edition. Bummer it rusted out that quick though.

During dismantle yesterday I found much more rust than I would imagine. Yea Pete it's going back silver again. Nice cool color for these hot Florida days.
