Thats sexy

That's a badass Jeep man. Looks hella clean.

I had a Cherokee. Was a pretty *****in car, kinda wish I still had it so I could haul friends and other **** around. Plus I felt pimpin in that thing. Of course 200k miles and 9mpg, had to sell it.

**crustybug** · June 4th, 06:39 PM

my uncle used to have one that looked very similar to that, except his was blue and had a few more inches on it.

oh btw, thats a cj7, correct me if im wrong?

Thanks for the compliments. Correct crustybug, it is a CJ-7. You can tell because the doors are rectangle(ish) while on a CJ-5, the doors have a curved hump that goes towards the front.

Nice Cherokee HuNtS! Any future mods planned?

**crustybug** · June 4th, 09:37 PM

hunts is my brother, and the next future mod is to get it running again first, and then idk what he wants to do with it. the drivetrain cant handle much bigger tires cuz hes running the 2.5 4 cylinder in it.

The wiring is all messed up. Theres no power to the injectors, fuel pump, ignition, etc. its ****ed up really bad.

love the cj-7's tho...ive been lookin for a cheap project truck at local car shows and thats the one i want. how much did you pick it up for originally?

***Rick78*** · June 4th, 10:04 PM

bigyellajeep, call me crazy, but i like the b4 pic better, lol. idk why, but i just think wranglers look awesome all rusty and beat up. i guess im just weird

BigYellaJeep · June 4th, 10:08 PM

Crusty: I picked it up at a lemon lot for about $1500. It was all stock and original, lots of rust, and didn't run. With the help of Ebay, screamin local deals, and free stuff, I got it up and running to what you see in the last pictures for about 3K more. HOWEVER: Getting an old CJ is NOT a "Cheap" project, lol...trust me!

Pat: Yes...indeed...you are crazy. First, it is not a wrangler, it is a real Jeep, a CJ. Haha. However, I will agree that nothing is more fun than having an old beatup rusty CJ to wheel around, and with no care in the world what you do to it.

***Rick78*** · June 4th, 10:17 PM

haha sorry about calling it a wrangler, i dont know much about jeeps.

yea just the image of one of those style jeeps, with all the paint chipped off cause off all the mud full of rocks slinging into the body, rusty floors cause of all the water that comes in when u go through a huge puddle full speed, idk it just makes it look badass imo.

but your finished jeep does look very clean and well-done

**HuNtS** · June 4th, 11:28 PM

i'd like if anything on mine just a couple inches, 2, maybe 3, and then some 31" BFG a/t's... that's about it.. at least that i can think of, just so i can have some fun with it before it dies for good... lol :tdown to the 2.5l

**mLuH** · June 4th, 11:36 PM

Yep, Fort Campbell 101st. Though going to Fort Jackson next.. And yeah, all the houses are small and look the same. Nice eye flowbob.

BigYellaJeep · June 5th, 12:27 AM

South Carolina.

***jwbehm*** · June 5th, 12:32 AM

BigYellaJeep- That looks awesome, you have done a hell of a job restoring it. Are you gonna wheel it?

BigYellaJeep · June 5th, 12:37 AM

Hell, I already have jwbehm! THose pictures are a year or so old...if not older. It has quite a few paint chips, scrapes, some bent metal in the rear fenders, and lots of other dents and dings. Not to mention I'm currently rebuilding it's motor, lol.

Oh, and I like to go mudding more than anything.

**m98_bmx** · June 5th, 01:59 AM

I know stuck pictures suck, but its stock so thats all I've got. 3 inches of water in the passenger footwell, and I have a video with the rear left tire 1.5' off the groudn getting winched out. I plan on getting a 3" rocklizard lift and truxus 31x 11.50's

BigYellaJeep · June 5th, 12:58 PM

Oh...go ahead and slap some 33"s on there! Do it right the first time, otherwise it will cost you more in the long run. Trust me...you will be happy with a little 3" lift and 31"s for about a week...and then will want to go bigger.

But I give you props for wheeling it!
