Purchased a 81 CJ7 from a buddies uncle. Has a 77 258 in it and i already have a christmas list a couple of pages long to wake this tired soldier up. I have owned a Cherokee so I'm not totally new to Jeeps and the ingenuity of mods done by other owners. I have owned many other 4x4 vehicles. This was bought so my wife could enjoy the trails. For some reason my 86 F-250 diesel just did not appeal to her. We live in southern Calif in the Mojave desert so there are plenty of places to go. The jeep does not "NEED" to be wrenched on. Th eengine was built by a local shop. There's aa aftermarket cam in it but not sure of the specs right now. T-5 transmission has a newish clutch and pressure plate. It runs fine with the exception of the bad Idle and gassy smelling exhaust. Tthe Carter carb needs to go and an ignition mod will be soon after that. The jeep needs to go to the smog guys so we can get the registration done so I think a fuel delivery mod will happen sooner than I think. The fact that I have to deal with California emissions makes sorting out mods that are legal here a little difficult at times. I'll get into that on the forum.
I cant wait to meet/communicate with everyone and I certainly hope i can add to the discussions and not just ask questions. Fellow members must be warned that my attempts at humor sometimes come off as being a smart ass. I would never intentionally do that to anyone but i will take every opportunity to crack a joke at your expense. So here i go into the world of " Why does that guy want to do that".
