Build Thread '78 CJ7 - Barn Find

[jsherman]

I'm a new member and recently found a 78 CJ7 ...

I've always been a fan of Jeeps (had a 2007 Jeep 4 door rubicon for about 6 years). i don't know much about working on vehicles, though i own several that seem to always need work and i've added this one to the fleet.

it's not in great shape. in fact, i think it'll take a lot of work to get this one back up and running. but hey... it's only time and money.

first goal is to see if i can get it running. i have no idea what i'm doing... so this should be fun! I will of course take pictures and provide updates but my real purpose is joining this forum is in hopes that those that have gone down this road before can help me through the process

Thanks,
Jerry

These Jeeps are pretty much puzzles. They aren't engineering marvels plus anything you run into has already been done at least a thousand times!

Take pictures during disassembley to make assembler easier.

Good luck and ask away!

Reference taking pics - when you think you have enough, you will realize you don't!! Also pick up a box of zip lock bags to keep hardware properly sorted...... and they make great ways to keep snacks fresh when you do like I did and forget to use em....
