A shot of the (new) $300 '83 Cherokee...

[amcboy]

Yep, its a rattle can paint job for now. Aluminum Jackmans (Thanks again Baja Brad!) and the $77 Kumhos. Unseen is the Weber conversion (Thanks again Mark!) and the 5 gallons of wiring I removed with factory robo-carb.

Came with a plow, which I sold for $150...

258, 4 speed, NP208.

Whee....

Wow that looks good for rattle can paint!
I'm still nursing a "robo carb" :D

Looks like a descent N/T. Congrats. :thumbsup:

The story is that I went to look at a 87 GW that was described as "...in good shape, no rust, $850...".

Got there to find a VERY pregnant lady and unhappy looking guy in a Miata looking it over.

Of course it was beyond excellent. And they got it.

I let it go because I saw up the hill about 15 FSJs...

I asked if he had any others for sale and there it is: a 2 door Cherk originally sold to the WV forest service with a plow.

I'm going back to negotiate for a rust free J-20 that needs a starter ring.

I'll report on the outcome.

nice! 83 was a good year. u also have a proper jeep drive train :D..
as it's an x-forest service, was is originally a beautiful shade of green?

[amcboy]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

It was, indeed, green.

Some paint, some mold...

I like it!
Looks clean for a West Virginia rig...where the roads have more salt that pretzels in the winter!

You could probably tackle the scenic railway with that thing.

(Been from that area for years, now.)
