Yeah, I dropped off for a few months because of all that crap. Sad to
see it's still here. I might split again for awhile...dunno.

Glad to hear you're doing well. Is your garage heated?

I'd love to be able to do that, you've got me thinking now. Right now I
just store my extra stuff in a nice boat storage unit, but it's 70 miles
away, not too convenient for projects. Soon I'd like to do a body off
resto on the Baja Bronco, but my tiny 3 car garage would only be big
enough if I pushed the TJ and another vehicle out. The CJ8 is a much
more simple resto...or are you building a crawler?

there were title issues with the cj8 so that deal fell through. im doing a
cj7 restoration/build but havent had time yet to do anything other than
collect parts. while i hope to build a crawler, i still want it to be
street legal so it will be a relatively mild build in comparison to some of
the crawlers ive seen. ideally id like to drop my cj tub on a rubicon
frame/drivetrain but have yet to find the right donor rubicon. finding cool
salvage in montana is difficult because of our population, but im not above
travelling for the right donor jeep.

In Colorado they put all kinds of extreme looking stuff, including Jeeps
with tractor tires and no fenders, sitting way up high, on the street. The
first time I saw one in the City Market parking lot, it could barely fit in
a parking space, the tires were so big.

Stay away from anything with "title issues".

Shouldn't be too hard to find a rolled Rubi... :) What are some issues
with a CJ7 body on the TJ frame? I know it's not a bolt on affair.
