At it's new home Once home we took survey of it's condition. The first thing was removing the plow and plow hardware. It was not easy. We had to first take off the bumper to get to the bolts. Half the bolts we ended up torching to get off. So off came the bumper, then plow, then plow frame, and then finally the plow hoist.

Then we started on getting the engine running. We checked the fluid levels and tried charging up the battery. When I turned on the ignition one wire when up in flames. We figured it was some wiring from the plow and removed any extra wiring. Then again tried to start the engine, but the battery was bad. We ended up getting a different battery charged and placed inside temporarily. With some gas it started up for the first time years.

The problems If you ever watch those truck or car shows on TV you know how they talk about "this vehicle has all the classic problem areas." I think this Jeep falls into that category. Here are pictures of all the rust spots.After doing more cleaning on the underside of the Jeep I found both frame rails are rotted through on the bottom for a few feet!

The Frame I got a used frame and poly fuel tank from "Sam the Jeep Man." So finally it's time to begin the work. For Phase 1 I want to mainly restore the body back to new and strengthen the frame. I'm going to lay out my what's done or going to be done as follows.The body was removed from the frame.

Right now we are working on the replacement frame for the CJ-7. It had it's own issues and has required a lot of welding and fabrication on it. It's getting a new rear bumper and front bumper. Each will have a trailer hitch so a hitch mounted winch can be installed. Also there were 2 cracks in frame that have to be repaired. Also I've started to install my Full Traction shackle reversal system giving me 2 inches of lift and new greasable poly bushings.
