Well, in honor of my late TJ, I'm dedicating this thread to her! She served me well, I used and abused her beyond belief in the few shorts months we knew each other. R.I.P.
My want list / Jeep progression - JeepForum.com
Anyway, out with the old, in with the new. Er... wait... That doesn't make sense... 2001 to 1980. More like out with the new in with the old!!!
Ok, so the cat is out of the bag, I bought a 1980 CJ5. GREAT condition, POS drivetrain. So what am I to do? Swap in an LS1 motor. :2thumbsup: These pics are from the ad. I haven't gotten any of her yet myself, so these will have to do.
And of course, I've already got my build sheet planned out. You can follow most of my build just from watching me update this page. :laugh:
