Yep, my '85 CJ7. Going on a freeze my butt off snow trip this saturday with the half doors and bikini top :rockon:
I lost all the original pictures and the beginning of the build when I broke my last phone, wish I had saved them on the computer. Here's a few I still have.

Love it! That cage looks like a PITA to get in and out around, but nicely built! Are those 33's or 35's?
Title: Re: Some fabricating

They are 35's. Once they are worn out I'm think of doing some suspension work along with bigger axles for 39.5's. The cage is a pain to maneuver around but then again it is built for protection and that bar will keep you safe if you flop it on its side. Some pictures from yesterday's first run in the snow.

How cold was it out?  Seems like your cab is a bit drafty.

Is that a YJ spring conversion? Where did you play in the snow at?
Title: Re: Some fabricating
Post by: jakebrake on March 04, 2013, 03:48:23 pm
Good eye, they are yj springs. This is up by Jack's Pass out of Skykomish. Wish it were colder, we were in mid 40's with that warm front that came thru.

First damage

No obvious cause, guessing a lifter bled down over night and unseated the push tube. $5 for two new tubes....see what happens. So far so good.
