Bought my first Jeep, follow me on this journey to making it a mild street driven crawler!

This is how I bought it and everything I know from the previous owner:

1980 CJ7
Factory hard top
4.2 straight six
Howell EFI conversion
T176 trans
D300 T-case
Power Steering
AMC 20 narrow rear
Dana 30 narrow front
4” lift (unknown parts)
1-ton steering
35’s
15” steelies
WARN winch

Things I have done since I bought it:

MORE off-road steering box bracket
MORE off-road steering box frame brace
BDS steering stabilizer
Borgeson HD steering shaft
KC headlights w/ Painless H4 relay harness
Steering wheel

And for the biggest thing, I just ordered a Genright full cage for it! So its about to go into my shop to be gutted and prepped.

I got the interior gutted and the carpet pulled, out of all the bolts only one from the driver seat was rusted, hit it with penetrant, a torch and it’s stuck lol. But hey, not bad for a 45 year old Jeep!!

Now to remove the old cage and prep the floor for Raptor liner. Then onto prepping the Genright cage.
