Jeep moon shot

[ACAD_Cowboy]

50 years ago man went to the moon in one of the greatest endeavors ever undertaken. 41 years ago, a gaggle of CJ-7’s ran bottom to top of the Americas with only 5 flats and 1 busted axle. I ask you, who pulled off the greater miracle?

To all of us who yearn to go beyond and push further, to see for yourself and touch the sand of the other shore, to cast your own die and chance it all for a fleeting glimpse of the trademark of gods own movie.

were those regular length cj7's?

On review, they are 7’s not 5’s. I edited the post for correctness. See what happen before coffee while making breakfast for the family!?

On with the show.

Aside from the racking on a few of them, those are some bone stock 4.2L looking CJ’s with some bigger tires, soft top and doors all around with a crew support wagoneer.

I also found a second video of it and there is a book.



6 stock Jeeps in the jungle sounds like a horror film staring a liberty, a patriot, a compass, a Cherokee, a renegade and a lone DJ5 with a miss.

Possibly my new hood graphic.

I’ve been interested in putting old school AMC badging on my Jeep so we’re in the same boat, different oars.
