    Just bought it today , Kinda on a whim , Never really payed much attention to them but only because ive never seen one around , Owned many cj5 , cj7 and cj8's though , Anyway a friend lived down the street from the po and sent me a pic and asked if id be interested so being that I wasn't busy I figured id give it a look and it ended up in my driveway an hour later , po had it 3 years , In that time he did an axle flip on 15x10's and 31's and had dual exhaust put on it , 8 months ago the clutch went and he parked it - wife said move it out - good for me bad for him , It is a 70' model , It has a good running Dauntless v6 , Duals , custom front bumper , spring over , Dana 44 and a 3 speed , For what I payed for it I fig I couldn't go wrong for a first timer , And hello from Tn. , Pics when I fig out how.

    Thanks for the welcome guys , It does have a few spots that need repair but pretty solid overall.

    Welcome, nice start there. Looks rather complete. They ALL rot in front of the rear wheels on the rockers, so expect to see bodywork/rust there. The factory left the inside of the rockers w/o paint (like many old cars) so they HAVE to rust!:rofl: Seems folks rather mud that spot instead of welding in new metal.

    Forecast here says 4 days of rain, hope that's true so the salt washes away. Love to drive Fussy ASAP. Fired Fussy up the other day, no start fluid, no jump, it just cranked for about 35 secs and started. Sweet, my kinda Jeep!:v6:

    Any questions, we are here to help.
