Hello,
It’s great to be onboard of this forum !
I am from Burgundy in France and i am definitely a Jeep fan, especially CJs and FSJs.
I got a CJ7 Laredo with the 304 and a J10 sportside with the 258, and i’d like to have in the future another FSJ.
The first one I bought was the CJ7 : I chose this one because it’s all original and I like the v8 and the Laredo trim.
It takes off course more times to find the Jeep you want in Europe…
The CJ7 is an US version which was imported in the beginning of the 80s .
There are French version of the CJ7, because of the partnership between Renault and AMC at that time, but it was not with the V8.
I prefer generally a Jeep when it’s close from stock , except for a little lift and bigger tires :
I changed the tires of the CJ7 for some 35” and asked a garage for a change of the axles ratio accordingly.
The second one is a J10 sportside I bought two years ago : I was lucky, because it’s very rare in Europe as you imagine !
Unfortunately , mine is rusty and tired, but also close from the stock like the CJ7
I am starting a complete restoration of the J10, now I just finished the disassembly. It’s lengthy, since it’s my first restoration..
It’s not hard to find an Edelbrock intake manifold or an HEI distributor in Europe, but to find FSJ parts is a real issue over there…
Thanks
