So, sometime in March 1995, I checked in with my friends at the Auto Hobby Shop, and Don was talking about this cool old Jeep CJ-7 sitting in Stall 1, asking what I thought it was worth, being a 4×4 guy. I said that it looked like about $3500 to me, and he then asked, “What about if I took the winch off it?” Well, a winch is just an accessory, so I’d said it was still good for $3500. Then he asked, “Do you think it would sell for $1400?” I asked him if he’d take a check, and to give me a couple days to sell my ’78 K5 Blazer.

Little did I know there were wheels & deals flying around while I was getting the Blazer sold to an old paintball buddy. I showed up on Saturday with the money, and one of the other guys had already sold it to someone else in my unit, who had no idea I was already working a deal. He then ‘sold it’ to me for another $100. Guh… whatta PITA, but oh well – I have an awesome Jeep CJ-7 now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few shots of it in the driveway after I got it home and washed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
