Rick Swaim's 1985 CJ7

It's an '85 CJ7 with 8" of lift sitting on 15.50x35 Super Swampers. The motor is the original 258 six that he rebuilt last year, it was bored .030 over and the head was reworked and ported/polished to match the headers and intake manifold. The intake manifold is an Offinhouser with a four barrel Holley sitting on the top. The exhaust is a dual outlet header system flowing through 2.5 aluminized pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. It has a 320-degree duration camshaft with .447 in. of lift, it sounds REAL GOOD! The front diff. is the stock dana 35 with a spool in it, the rear is a dana 60 that was narrowed and he used Ford nine-inch axles that were cut down and resplined. It also has rear disc brakes and a ARB locker. He also had Rhino Liner sprayed into the interior.

Michael Hunt's 1976 CJ-5

Michael Hunt's 1976 CJ-5

Michael's CJ had a "Lincoln Locker" (welded spiders) in the rear, well worn springs and shackels for flex, and 31x10.5x15 BFGs for all-around traction. Under the hood is a 304 with an Edelbrock Performer carb, cam, & manifold combination - almost too much power for the light CJ.

Also visible is the "Clyde", a low-tech (but highly effective!) anti-theft device, patiently waiting for a ride in "his" Jeep!
