Woo Hoo!!!! Got my 85 Cj 7 back.... I sold it to my brother years ago, it needs a clutch and definitely needs upgraded diffs. He bought himself a new truck and said I could have it back for FREE because he can't afford to fix it and doesn't have the time to mess with it!!!!!!

It does have a 4" spring lift and really good 36" Swampers, it also has a 98 Cherokee 4.0 engine conversion me and my dad did before I sold it to him! I don't have any pics but will get a few soon........

Now I have another vehicle I can't afford to fix......:bawling:
NO, it's not for sale......

Merry Christmas to me!!

The old 4.2 liter needed a rebuild and when we pulled it we found the block was cracked block. I came across a wrecked Cherokee with only 38k miles for 650 bux and it was on!! The straight 6 4.0 is a powerhouse!!

I have to be able to afford a replacement transmission for the B2 first, then I can throw the 36's on the trailer and head your way...:icon_twisted:
