HISTORY / EXPERIENCE / COMMENTS
I bought this CJ in pretty rough condition out in Indiana. She didn't have a rear bumper (rusted away), front bumper had an argument with a tree (guess who won that), and I'm pretty sure the driver side floor panel was once a refrigerator door...

Lots of parts, welding, and modifications later and I'm still nowhere close to being done. But it's a fun process.
