The LJ is quickly becoming my new favorite Jeep of the last 20+ years. The CJ-8 has long been another favorite. Something about those LWB's....
Here's a few of my old '84 CJ-7, my first real "expedition rig," waaaaay back in 1995...
Looking good on the PCH 101 -
Room for one -
Packed & ready to go in Death Valley-
After living out of it for that 10 week trip around the western US in '97, I rolled it the next summer above Silverton, CO. I sold it to the guy who owns the Conocco station in Lake City, CO who had plans to straighten the tub, replace the windshield frame, etc.
Sadly when I went back through Lake City in the summer of 2006, it was still sitting in his boneyard...unrepaired, unloved and totally missed by me. By far the most fun vehicle I've ever owned.
As she sits now circa 2006 -
Broke down & busted with my current outfit waiting....
