My father in law has had this 1983 CJ7 since 1993. The last 7-8 years it's been sitting up. I have been joking all these years saying he should give it to me for Christmas.
Well, this year, he did.
I am a proud owner of a free 1983 Jeep CJ7.
I work on a boat, and I was not in town for the gifting, so my wife subbed in for me.
It comes with a hard top also.
I literally know nothing about Jeeps. A couple years ago I tried getting it going, and it would spray gas out of the carb. The engine was replaced 5 years ago and never driven. I'm guessing the timing is off, or spark plug wires in the wrong location?
It's a 12 hour drive to go pick this Jeep up, so it may be a couple months before I get to it.
What would be the first mods after cleaning everything up and getting it going?
Thanks!
