so when i got back home i started going to college which is a 20 minute drive 1 way. so unfortunatly i had to sell the 05 LJ due to it only getting 10mpg freeway. traded it in for a 2011 dodge caliber which surprisingly is a very nice car. well.... i couldn't fight the itch any longer so after 2 months of being jeepless i went out and found a 1982 CJ7.


first picture of the toy on her way home






reptile610:
specs as of now:
4 cly 2.5L "iron duke"
sr-4 manual trans
dana 300 transfer case
dana 30 front locked
amc 20 rear locked
3.73 gears
i don't know what type of lockers are in it but im told it's locked. if i take off the diff covers will it have a serial number or name on it?
 questions? comments? smart a$$ remarks?  ;D

calvynandhobbs:
I see you had it carried to the house so does it run or did it come from too far of a distance and you didn't want to take a chance? If you take the diff covers off you still may not be able to tell what brand of locker it is, but you'll be able to tell if it is a lunchbox type locker, welded, spooled or Detroit. Because CJs have lockouts I've seen a lot of guys weld the spiders rather than actually using a locker for cost savings in the front.

Are you going to take it up to the Mounds or Bundy for its first off road excursion? I figured those are the two closest places to you.

X2 on that. Just make shure you also get a close up shot of the Ring gear & carrier. If you rotate the carrier slowly & find numbers then get shots of those also. It Will help alot.
