A great and almost stock CJ 8!
From 'Hole'
"Its an 83, thats mostly stock. 258, T5 trans, one piece rear axels, Mopar MPI,21 gal fuel tank, Smittybilt 10k winch. I got the 8 from my Dad in Dec 08 ( he lost his sight ) Dad bought it in 1988 from the original owner with 60k on it,and he put another 46k on it during his 20 years with it. I plan on putting a 2 1/2" lift this fall because the springs are sagging but other than that not many mods in the foreseeable future."
A great ride and a great story!

It IS a beautiful ride! Truly spectacular!
Just goes to show that you don't have to mod out the Jeep to be featured!

Thanks for all the compliments guys, and thank you Cj for this honor! Dad told me since I can remember " Leave it stock and you'll be better off ". When I was in my 20's & 30's I didnt always listen,and spent more time fiddling around to keep my modded trucks running. Now that I'm in my 40's, I still like to work on my own trucks, but I'd much rather be driving them  |

Your father spoke wisely and she is gorgeous.  I too have a stock CJ and as long as I own her, she'll remain factory. |

Your CJ8 is what I always imagine when thinking of an 8. Very nice job on it keeping it stock.
Makes a person want to go out and find one of these rare gems.
