Love the pics.
Those don’t bother me either way.
Glad you like. I turned off smugmug due to budget and lack of interest. Scaled down little ones are good enough for photobucket.
The black one is not too far off from new tires and a 2 inch lift. Also the steering box is worn - Willys Wobble. Those are on the upcoming service trip to the guys. I’m just one guy in the burbs with no real facilities but a fair amount of experience and know how though.
With warmer weather and daylight, I am finally going to get on the horse and get that CJ7 prepped as I can before serious engine work. I knew the engine had a problem when I bought it. It’s locked.
It had been on CL for a couple of months. The guy told me plenty of people came by and asked about but never heard from any of them. Odds are the spouses shot it down in a lot of cases.
I bought it and have it stored elsewhere. At least its rent free, plenty of people around who know the building and owner and a very close proximity to the local PD. They take their breaks there a lot. No power though. Building was decommed years ago.
That old blazer which came before either of them lives there too. I’m also not really in shape to do my own work plus keeping the spouse happy is a drag too.
I also use them as props and test beds for stock footage. Since a lot of markings and the like are gone or can be easily obscured, I’ll roll a camera.
Finding those black finish cheapos at Harbor Freight helped too. No glare and hard to see maker’s name. My good Craftsman tools can do the real work.
Every now and then I make a few bucks and can combine things I am good at. Plenty more besides these two.
