Got some cool pictures of Dad's 73' J4500 the other day, figured it would be cool to see some FSJ photography outside the build threads

I might get flamed for this, but in my memories from the late 70s and 80s they looked old even when they were new. The styling was just behind ford and chevy by at least a generation. That said they still looked way better than the dodge offerings one might see on a daily basis at the time. Throw in the corrosion issues (north east) and they acquired patina rapidly. My first car was a 79 CJ5.I got it in 87 or 88. Floors were gone, lower front fenders and the rear seams in the tub for the wheel wells were rusted through already. It wasn't even 10 years old....
However, perhaps the fleeting moments of when they were new is what keeps everyone on this board trying so hard to keep them going and bring them back.

I collected some of the major truck brands and piled them together for comparison. In 1963 I think jeep had the best style by far
Versus 1978... Opinions?
I have a lot of fond memories with my Dad in that red 1973. It went like hell, we would drive in the ditches along the gravel roads even took her in the powerlines in the river valley,1968 Jeep Gladiator J-3000 327 Vigilante V8, T-18 transmission, Dana 20 Transfer Case (Twin Stick), Dana 44 full float in the front and semi float 53 in the rear. 4.09 axles

The 78's are sweet too but I think I am just partial to FSJs. I think the 78 Ford is pretty righteous looking but again, man, that brow on the J10.... so awesome.Last edited by rang-a-stang; 02-15-2020, 08:00 AM.Chuck McTruck 71 J4000

Awesome Jeeps! The brow is a huge factor in the styling. Too bad they took it out later the muscle grill would have looked quite cool with it.
