Okay I know how to handle this ......... 007 Who's this 007? Never heard of no 007 at least not here on a true CJ believers forum..... We are a forgiving bunch here, but there are some sins that will be difficult to forget...... But I will admit to being old and my short term memory ... can .... be ....... hey what are we talking about?

HA! You all don't have to confess to anyone - but I can tell I'm not the first to have at least mentally flirted with the idea...

There's at least one person on here who has done this that I know of, and I think if you've done the front clip and dash, you basically have a more rust repellent CJ (from the firewall back) with an upgraded suspension don't you? Swap tailgates and ba-bam you're hard to find...

I did once. I almost bought a rolled one at that. Thankfully I ran out of Horse tranquilizers and saw the light.

there is not a lot of shame involved with driving a YJ I don't know about making it look like a CJ. If you want a YJ I think you should be able to have one with no real great amount of public humiliation. surely you should have something to drive around town in.

that's a good one

While driving home today I noticed my windshield was leaking. It was running down the dash. I figured what the heck it'll just drain out through the holes in the floor

 

[IOPort51]

was the heater on? was it raining, was it cold? where was it leaking? there are reasons for the questions.

Wait a minute; is this one of those Jimmy Carter “lusted in your heart” things? (Younger guys may need to Google that to understand.)

You know you own a CJ when:

When you've NEVER dreamed about doing ANYTHING with, what is called, a Jeep that is newer than 1986!

I admit to being surprised and extremely disapointed to find that the CJ7 and Wrangler have almost the very same tub. But I'm not a big CJ7 fan either..... Sorta kidding ...... but not completely.

It was leaking right in the center and running down the dash. it never did that till a week ago. No biggie it's not hurting anything

 

[Hedgehog]

When you spend all afternoon teaching your daughter how to drive a standard and both of you laugh all the time your doing it.

 

[canuckcj5]

police at a fsr roadblock start giving you offers on the cj instead of vehicle inspection notices, (true story lol)

 

[biggwrench]

When you start telling people you love sacrificing YJs to the CJ parts gods.

Have you had the windshield folded down? My seal was doing good till I put the windshield down, been leaking ever since.

I want to know if this is rain or condensation out of the windshield frame.


cold day, heater on, Defrost on, warm humid air in defrost vents/windshield frame, vapor condenses on inside of cold frame, collects in bottom of frame and rots out the windshield frame.

water dripping down a point between the defrost vents? coincidence? maybe.

 

[Old Dog]

What is this defroster you talk of? If you mean the towel, I lay that on the floor when it's wet.

In my case only when it rains.

 

[johnnyreb]

gotta admit the whole yj/cj front clip swap crosses my mind today. I looked a yj for the wife, but she wants an automatic.

you start missing turns to your destination because you are too deep in thought about the next modification you plan to make.
