Great looking truck, but why the giant sticker in the middle of the rear window? Seems like that would hamper visibility and perhaps a d-bag cop may ticket you for it.

TEXAS LEXUS!
Nah. Not a big fan.
As long as he has both side mirrors he’s good. And besides, that sticker blocks less window then my spare tire
.And I didn’t get pulled over for this...

omg seriously if we can set up a group buy for these i'm in
Spent half the day with a wire brush, pb blaster, and simple green to prep for full axle service. Man it was a mess under there. This truck probably never had the underside cleaned or worked on much since it was new. A blessing and a curse. Surprised it looks as good as it does, expected some rot, but found none (except for the front disc backing plates, those are done). First time I got under her for real, I'm impressed that it looks so good for being so old, and being a NYC 80 it's whole life. Probably was never off road. Original jack and tool kit in the back looks like it has never been opened until today. I'm hooked, original build quality and engineering is cool. It's going to take some $$$ to bring her back, but if there was ever a truck that is worth the effort, it's the 80. I "get it" now.
It is a tight squeeze on a creeper. I was not going to do any lift, but I want to be able to get under her without a jacking. Just signed up as a paying member to mud, don't know when it will show in my profile. probably take a day or two. However, no lag and lock while I'm posting this.
Edit, membership show right away, cool. Easiest 50 bucks so far for the resurrection.

Washed the 80s. When washing the 93 a guy in the next bat had a Heep. He poked his head around and said “Nice truck. I see it around. Very cool.” I said “thanks. I see yours around too.”
My son couldn’t stop laughing. I didn’t realize I had snubbed his Heep.

Nice job! I have those same speakers in my fronts!
Hey I had a jeep before my car. I loved cherokees since they were my first car. I love my cruiser more thoughWashed the 80s. When washing the 93 a guy in the next bat had a Heep. He poked his head around and said “Nice truck. I see it around. Very cool.” I said “thanks. I see yours around too.”

Met another 80s owner this weekend. Mine is in the background and yes no mods. I am just making it more dependable for now
I still love my CJ7, brought it back from being swamped in hurricane Sandy. But yeah, I've had a 79' CJ, 2 86 CJ7s, and a 2005 Rubicon LJ. I just got my first 80, and as crusty and old as she is, it is just a big level up. Should have done it years ago.
I do have a roof rack

Heeps are cute!
And if you launch a CJ right it sticks the landing.
