- 1982 Jeep CJ-7 with 4.0 T-5 and dana 300 AMC 20 with one piece axle and disk brake conversion 411 gearing family roll bar mod along with factory ac and 4 in lift flex lite fan
So i have decided to redo my 1982 Jeep CJ7 and try to get it ready for jeep beach in Sept. So far my new Air compressor has come in and is installed in my garage and i just picked up a YJ Tub to build a matching off road trailer that will be painted and pinstripe to match the CJ when i am done. i plan on a full tear down of the CJ minus drive train as it only has 60,000 miles and a rebuilt 4.0 under the hood. the rear AMC20 already has the one piece axles and disk brake conversion along with Limited slip. the front will have new hubs and a lunch box locker both axles also already have 4.10 gearing. i will sand blast the frame and re seal it. i will pop out the T-5 and put in a AX15 the Dana 300 will get resealed new seats and center console along with factory AC. As i progress i will post picture of start to finish and will take any suggestions that you guys may have or ideas that i may not have thought about or if you guys have any parts that are willing to part with that you guys might think i need or would like to know more about i am all ears too
