Anyone have a CJ as their mod-fun rig so they can keep their Taco clean?

This is my 1978. All original I bought new in late 1977.

 

All original?? Since 1978!?!?!? You sir, are awesome. If I had something since 1978 it probably wouldn’t even look like a Jeep anymore. I’d mod the mods haha.

 

Mid wheel base 70 Series Land Cruiser. Brick shit house.

 

I had a 1980 Cj-5 before I got into my Tacoma, and I really missed having a Jeep. So now I have both my Taco and a 1984 J20 truck

 

Pretty much stock. I fabricated the stainless steel bumpers and the front grill guard myself. Went up one tire size from the stock tire size and after buying three soft tops over a ten year period I bought and installed the ACME hard top. I rebuilt the transmission and transfer case in 1982 and I rebuilt the original 304 V8 engine in 1987. I am in the process of gathering parts to redo the fuel system and the steering system now.

 

Get out of here with your Toyota Reliability!

 

I had this well before the Taco came along. I built it from scratch. Had a AMC 360 V-8 with 3-Speed, Hooker headers, and dual Flowmasters. It was quite a head-turner.

 

Had this 78 long before the Taco (which I have only owned 2 weeks). 360 AMC V-8 (same block as 304), Tremec 3-Spd, 2 /2" lift, Dana 20, Dual FlowMasters. I built from scratch. It was fun for a few years then nobody drove it, including my 2 teenagers. So I moved on to the next toy. Engine in the before pic was not used as that was the 6-cyl.

 

Bought my Tacoma to replace a 20 year old TJ with a 4 banger. If you can find a CJ see if you can get a tranny with more than 3 gears. That would have been outstanding on my 77 CJ-5.

 

I had a lifted yj, I legit thought I could die each time I drove it on the freeway

 

Yup. I'm SOA plus 1 inch body lift.

It'll climb a tree, but holy SHIT above 60.

 

Not a CJ, but I have a 2004 LJ that I love. My old 06 LJ was the one Jeep that I missed, so now that I have a Tacoma, I went back and got one for a fun vehicle. I do it drive it to work occasionally and after driving it, my 3.5 feels super peppy

 

Love my 06 LJ......the gf has been hassling me to sell it for a year now since the Tacoma. I've really been trying hard to....I swear.

A clean Taco?? Blasphemy!!!

 

I get "nice jeep" a lot. It doesn't keep the Taco any cleaner

 

That's one of the nicest land cruising "jeeps" I've seen.
