1985 CJ7 Rock Crawler

It's kind of a long, weird story as to how I aquired this Jeep, but if your interested, keep on reading. My cousin has been looking for an off-road Jeep for a while and stunbled across this one on Ebay. I told him to "BUY IT!" not thinking that he really would. Next thing I know, he used "Buy It Now" and was the proud new owner of a 1985 CJ7.

We made the road trip to Mobile, Alabama and picked up this Jeep and a trailer. After further inspection, we determined that it would take a lot of effort to make this Jeep street legal in Texas. So rather than investing a crapload more money into this truck, he found another Jeep on Ebay that wouldn't require as much effort.

Since he purchased another Jeep, I offered to take this one off his hands. Of course that meant I had to sell Ol' Blue. And that's exactly what I did. I sold the YJ to a great buyer in Colorado and am starting my wish list of items for this rig.

Below you will see all the pictures that were presented to us on Ebay and the pictures from the trip home.

Below are the pics after we picked the truck up. Most of them are all at fuel stations as I wasn't wasting any time getting back home to Texas!

The first time to set swamper on Texas soil... That's my cousin, David, backing the Jeep off the trailer.
