I found a writeup on this rig. It is a heavily modified CJ-7. Speaking of CJ's, I'm having a good time driving my dad's CJ-5 today since mine is up on blocks. How are you supposed to wheel with no power brakes? I have a hard enough time stopping in at the stoplight let alone coming down a steep incline (or would it be decline?)
the pic second from bottom, the one that looks like a big ZJ... i like that one.. it kind of reminds me of an envoy, and the headlights are killer in person.
