Todd Ogden's CJ7

Todd Ogden's CJ7

This is an '83 CJ7 with a stock 258. It has a Superlift 1" Superride with Currie greasable shackles, Slickrock spring hangers, and Rancho RS9000 shocks. The tires are 32" BFG All-Terrains. Also equipped with an Alpine removable face stereo, remote 6-CD changer, and a custom fan under the seat to cool the amp. The unique angle of the rear bumper is courtesy of a departure angle being a few degrees too steep :)

Glen Rogers 1973 CJ-5

Glen Roger's 1973 CJ-5

Glen's CJ has 270,000+ miles on the stock 258CI with a 3 speed. 1" Rancho lift, interior has black ARMA Coating. This Jeep must've been a chameleon in a past life. It's been a red/orange color when new, dark metallic grey with hard top, then dark blue with hard top, and now candy apple red with bikini and soft top.

Regardless of color, it's one heck of a nice CJ!

T.J. Ellis' 1986 CJ7 T.J. Ellis' 1986 CJ7

T.J. Ellis' 1986 CJ7

T.J.'s purchased his Oklahoma CJ one year ago from an elderly gentleman who took excellent care of the Jeep its entire life.  It started out really, really cheesy looking, but since then he has done a few things to make it a Jeeper's Jeep.  It is an '86 CJ-7 with a factory 258 six, Borg Warner T-4 tranny, and factory drivetrain.  Modifications since the purchase include: 1.5" Conferr shackle lift, removal of "nerf bars", pair of KC Daylighters, BFG 31x10.5 Mud Terrains, bikini top and tonneau cover, and a light duty winch.  He has to keep it mild for now because it is his everyday driver to/from college.

Future upgrades after graduation include: One-piece axles in the rear along with a Detroit Locker, upgraded winch with new "rock" bumpers,  GM fuel-injection V6 engine swap, and possibly bigger tires of the same variety.

Tod Herman's 1984 CJ7

Although Tod's daily driver is basically all stock in the motor and drivetrain, this reliable CJ is currently rated at 247.  The 258 I-6 and T-5 transmission leave plenty of room for future improvements.  It has a modest 1" Rancho suspension lift, dampened with Rancho 5000 shocks, to better accommodate the 31" x 11.5" Thornbird TSL tires.  Added protection is provided by Sun Performance rocker panel guards, Con-fer skid plates underneath, a custom rear bumper, and Tomken Machine's steering box brace and winch mounting plate.  A new 1999 Warn XD9000i 4.6hp winch sits on front.

A Quick Air 2 compressor sits under the hood, mated to a 2.5 gallon air tank with pressure switch (under the body along the frame) and quick-release air chuck at the rear.  Other creature comforts/necessities include a Jamboree Rack sporting the Hi-Lift and (when needed) extra fuel cans, a Cobra CB, front and rear D-ring shackles, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher (ready-mounted next to the driver's seat), a Tuffy center console, dual batteries and isolator, Thor Sound Wedge speakers, a temperamental radio, and some worthless driving lights that won't seem to break so he can replace them.

The new paint job addressed the rust and previous body damage, but one dent was left alone for good rock karma!  In winter trim, there's a factory hard top and steel doors along with a 10-inch squeegee to help with the window defrosting.
