- 1978 CJ-7 - 258 I6, T-18A, Dana 20, stock axles. 1992 Ford Ranger 4x4, 1995 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Had this for maybe 15 or so years. Never gave any thought to taking any detailed "evolution" photos, but found a few from over the years of the changes.
How it began....it had a Scrambler half-cab & steel doors when I brought it home.
Put the 4" lift on, and some of those 31" tall 11.5" wide BFGs on (I forget the exact size). Also built the bumpers & tire-carrier, and put on the soft top (it now has tinted side & rear windows).
Put on the 15x11 slots with the 35s (from an F-AMC 150 I had...).
How it currently looks, with the diamond-plate aluminum (hides rust!) and the light-bar I made
Here's the bumpers & tire-rack
Put on some hoop-steps last year, to make it easier to get in (medical issues....)
Only major changes at this typing are some Dunlop Mud-Rovers on the front.
