im guessing this is where you post your into so here it goes.

my name is doug, currently living in michigan and just bought my first CJ in june. have owned 2 Cherokees and an LJ in the past. title for mine says 1982 CJ7 . after some asking around a a brief tear down im guessing i have an 81 with an 82 body because i have narrow track axles and the iron duke w/ SR4 Transmission which only came in 80-81. the front axle has drum brakes so after asking around it's a pre 74 axle but i did check and they both have 3.73 gears. future plans are a amc v8 (not sure which one. AMC 304 ,360, or 401), T-176 trans, different axles, (also not sure which ones but im told waggy 44's are a good choice) hi-front fenders, full corners w/ hi flares, sliders, and stubby bumper all from gen-right, and probably a camo paint job until i save up enough money for a new tub as this tub is pretty shot.






i really know nothing about these things and would really love any and all inputs, thoughts, comments, and smart *** remarks.
