Default Any Jeep owners?

I went to a jeep thing in York, PA.... lots of neat stuff, but this was one of the nicer CJ's (although it is a CJ7).

Someday I will get another CJ5 (this time monster truck like though)

alright bro!!
'86 CJ7 here...
lots and lots and lots of chrome on my baby-
custom sound and interior to accompany the sound components. tried to stay stock with most of the rest... but do have tall shackles so that the 31" tires fit and they fit well.
wanted to be able to handle anza borrego and still fit in the parking garages (just barely- i have two "roof feelers"- one is a phone antenna and the other a c.b. antenna). the underside is well protected with diff covers on front and back for the anza rocks.
also lots of LA mods (kill switch, hood lock, alarm, air-horns, etc.)
i love that car top off, doors off...
it is what got me into topless driving, which led to the stook!
unfortuantely, my CJ will eventually be for sale as i now have 4 cars and thats too many. i am finding it hard to store the CJ.

I never cease to be amazed at your vehicular menagerie, db. Give us the story of how you came to own this, and what you know of it's history.
Ever see, or own an amphicar?
