Hey fellas,
My name is Justin. I live in Roanoke and am part of StarCityCrawlers. This is my first 4wd project. I found her on craigslist and got a hell of a deal. The cancer is my main concern right now (if it wasn't obvious). Any suggestions/comments are much appreciated. Thanks!

1980 CJ5 - 258ci I-6

A lot of work to be done, that's for sure!

that's cause you don't wheel, or pay attention to anything else apparently.

Good to see you over this way dude. Gotta get some seats bolted in that thing so you can go beat on it some.

Terry,
I need those seats ASAP. It's killing me everyday I think about her just sitting and can't be played with until i get those floors fixed and seats mounted. I've got the wheels in motion tryin to start fixing it. I reallly would like to make it for the ride in January back out on Bobcat. If I can't get her trailready by then, I'll probably ride with Michael (1984jeep4x4) if he goes.

Thanks fellas for the comments!

Grab a saw and cut the old stuff out, rivet some new in and get on it man. Honestly, I wouldn't let a body man anywhere near that thing. It'll wind up costing as much as a new tub. This is a DIY hobby man! Enjoy!
