    Default 70's CJ, take two



    Hi all, after a decade without a project vehicle I am getting back in the Jeep game. I've lived in CO, with a couple year break after college, since the late 80's and briefly owned a 1975 CJ5 back in college. Career and family took priority and now after over 10 years I am aquiring a 1976 CJ7. My former boss bought the Jeep new from Kearns Jeep in Englewood and I am the second owner.

    I am going to be primarily focusing on safety and reliability repairs and updates as it is completely stock now and needs a bit of TLC. I would like to get it to the point where it can take on some moderate trails in the next year or two though.

    Welcome to the group!

    I started out with a 79 CJ-5 with a 304 into headers and glass packs - good fun!


    Perhaps we should have a forum for carb'd motors...

    76 - first year of the cj7! 258 or 304 (or possibly even the 151)? I really miss the 84 cj7 I had, but the 70cj5 keeps me plenty busy.
