    I spent 2019-2021 returning a 1980 Jeep CJ7 to factory original. As close to a full restoration as you can without removing the tub, dash and steering. I had a mechanics help but then the body work was all on me. In doing that I found something I really enjoyed. The goal with the FJ40 is...

    Just wondering, how much should I have paid for this? I'm confident I got a great deal but interested in your opinions.

    I'd take this advice if I were on the road system in the lower 48 and parts where easier and faster to get and I was doing to work myself or had several shops to choose from. But out here in the Alaskan bush, we've only got two mechanic's shops and they are often over booked. And it's...

    I'm inclined to sell all of the floor mats if anyone is interested. We spend 5 months below freezing here so I plan to put in insulating mat and carpet to hold in the heat. I don't know what kind of shape they are in.

    I was really impressed with the the test drive. It started, idled, accelerated, turned, stopped... Put it in low range. Everything worked great. Since then its just been sitting in the driveway Since August because I just moved and it wasn't the top priority. But when I cranked it up last...

    (edited 1/18) Recent barn find. It started easily, idled, accelerated, turned, stopped… appeared to be in great shape, but was told it was parked far more often than driven for at least 10 years. What’s not original: front bezel is from late 60's, hardtop is off a more recent model, bumper is...
