My intent is not to rebuild this CJ. I don't have the time, money, or patience for that. I want to drive my CJ.
But, like most CJs, this one needs work. While it generally looks OK and has a generally solid frame, it has some common problems.
Here's the thread I posted when I first found this Jeep. It has lots of photos and details:

Here's the thread I posted after buying her:

So, this thread will catalog the work I on this CJ. I will attempt to post photos to keep it interesting.
This will not be a frame off restore. My intent is to fix and refurbish things as I go along, slowly improving the looks, performance, and reliability. I hope for this CJ to be a 50% daily diriver.
EDIT 4/19/2011: I have included an index to the major work I've done on this Jeep. Here's the page with the index:
