Not necessarily new to the Jeep world owned a 97TJ and 07Jk loved them both. However I am new to the CJ world, just purchased a 1977 CJ5 with a straight six and a 3 speed (sorry don't know the numbers), in very rough condition. . Person, I purchased off has all the parts he took off stored in various places on his property so have a little bit of inventory to do. I've never taken on a project like this, but I am looking forward to the adventure. I am sure I will have lots of questions and I am sure many of you are more knowledgeable than me. Thanks for letting me in: looking forward to getting to know all of you.

This is going to be a “Rusty Iron Junkie’s” therapy thread to follow!
I think I mentioned before, my sons have put me in the “12 Steps Program”
I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DRAG ANYMORE RUSTY ORPHANS HOME !!
Good Luck ! Looks like a lot of Parts Safari’s are in your future too.

I Love safari's and Junk yards are my favorite places to explore. Just not many of them still have the old cars anymore.

We make a Day out of it.
I usually get ahold of one or two of my Rusty Iron Junkie's, and start out a Parts Safari by meeting for breakfast. Then after getting a gist of what everyone is looking for, we hit the Salvage Yard. Then stop for some Greasy Bar burgers and a beer or two
before heading home with our
Treasures.

I'm down to TWO that are true "Pick-a-Part" yards that are not
Major Drive away. But we have done "Expeditions" on good leads from others.

I'm up for that if the initial drive isn't to far for me. I live in Southeast PA.
