This is the story of and 85 CJ that went from a bone stock hunting Jeep to my mud toy and daily driver. At the moment I'm a freshman at the University of Florida (the Jeep should give it away lol) which tells everyone one thing, NO CASH! I bought this Jeep off my dad when I turned 16 for $2000 and have dumped all the money I could into it since. Right now I just have the pics from my driveway but it's seen LOTS of mud (that's all we've got in Florida) and I'll have some more pics once I getter dirty again.
Now for the mods that I've scrounged up to buy. I've got a 2 inch shackle lift paired with a 4 in Tuff Country suspension lift with extended shocks. After spinning a hub with the inferior 2 piece rear axles, I've upgraded to Superior 1-piece axles turning 33 inch mudders. To help with the power, there's a MSD Offroad Ignition system under the hood. And to make way for tools and supplies, the back seat's been ditched and replaced with a homemade wooden lock-box which also works as a water-proof stereo enclosure. Also, around the exterior, there's some diamond plating to cover some rust holes and add some protection and a 48" High Lift jack bolted to the swing out tire carrier.
Some mods I just finished this past month!

Nice CJ. It's always great to see fellow CJ owners putting elbow grease and time into what is truly the best Jeeps. Nothing beats a well built CJ! I have an 84 CJ that I have been working on for the past 4 years. If you get a chance to check mine out,..let me know what you think. Keep up the great work.

Wow! That is one great looking ride; I think you have done a great job working on it. I started working on my jeep several years ago and it has since turned out to look pretty nice, what���s going to be your next modification? Keep me posted!

Great writeup and great Jeep. I pick my "new" CJ-7 up in about 2 weeks, also an '85. She has the 4.0L head conversion already done, plus a Mopar FI, Borla Header and MagnaFlow Exhaust. I'm super excited.
