1978 CJ-7 PreBuild

[Crazy_Jeeper_7]

Here is my 78 CJ-7 I inherited while being in Iraq. It only has 24,357 miles on it and I just got my antique plates and paperwork on it. I will post post-build pics once she is done getting her fab and aftermarket work done. She used to be sunshine yellow with a white top but grand-dad had to replace the rusty tub with a fiberglass one a couple years back and decided on white since there isn't an AC in her...yet. I learned to drive in this very Jeep back when she was yellow and I was only 11. When I turned 16 she was temporarily mine until I could afford my own set of wheels without such high insurance and I put about 6,000 of those 24,000 miles on her back in '94. As you can see, she has only ever been at our various hunting leases around Florida and a couple years in South Georgia. This pic is at our hunting lease camp in New Symrna just south of Daytona.

Very nice to have a low mileage jeep of that age and with sentimental value......This would always be a favorite jeep, I'd think! I plan on giving my jeep to my 10 year old when he's older......Looking forward to seeing pics in the future!

I don't plan on ever parting with her...maybe "parting" her for continous restoration or building but I never plan on having her not a part of the family. My son has a little over 13 years before his driver's license but she's made it over 30 years so far so what is another two decades until he's out of College!

Welcome to the site and thanks for the email.

That's one fantastic looking Jeep! I can't believe it's in such good condition with so few miles on it as well...very nice! That's got to be a blast to ride around in!!!

I've never really gotten her stuck except when she is high centered or bottomed out which is very few times once I learned what she could handle! Now that she is getting a face lift, boob job, and butt implants, she should be very capable for the truly limited mudding and trail riding I do. I can't wait for Jason to see her after it is all said and done by the time the WFTW event comes around next year in my areas.
