1982 CJ7 Jamboree Build

I have a few other decals (I won't say how many but if you saw...) This one was the original to the Jamboree I purchased though.... Anyway, next weekend I am finishing tearing up the frame to get it down to just the frame. I am going on a short trip to San Francisco in about 2 weeks so I need to make my way towards R&P to make a big payment for the front axle before I head out.

 

Everything is off the frame. Frame is sitting on the side of the garage. Engine is finally fully disassembled. Front axle is done from R&P. CJ7 frame, YJ Tub, & Wagoneer front axle will go to R&P Customs for the required welding and placement in a few weeks.... As soon as my 3 month overdue VA check comes.... sequestrations a b**ch.

 

Can't wait to see pics of it coming together!

 

As soon as I get that frame fitted for the axles and tub... In due time man. Still deciding on a color, I don't like the Jamboree Topaz Gold so I may do something like a black and on the hood make it look like a fade into gold around where the Jamboree decal should go. The Jamboree decal on the hood will be painted on instead of the stock sticker application.

 

Update:

Ran into a financial slump after the shutdown of the government and a backlog of veteran pay for some vets but it is now coming back in steady. Had to pay off debts incurred first. It looks like my wife and I are heading to Missouri at the end of the year to attend graduate school so my build will go with me. Nothing much has changed, front axle built up like a champ (thanks to doughboy), transmission built up, transfer case, tub galvanized, rhinolined, and painted... just need frame, suspension, rear axle, and engine then the rest is small stuff. Will post sparingly until I get back into the financial groove to afford to continue the build. I will post pics this weekend of the finished parts.
