Just wondering, what would Jeep hell be like?

An infinite flat paved parking lot?

I had better be good just in case.

1976 CJ7 304/TH400/QT/D30/AMC20
Front D44 in process.

jeep hell?
some horned demon strapping you into your ride-for-life. a lowered, chromed, carpeted, tuck and rolled jeep. nothing but flat pavement to drive on. you know that reminds me of a dream i had last night and jeepgod was in it. i dreamed i died and went to hell. i woke in a motel room with the ugliest babe i had ever seen. the devil said that she was my punishment. i coaxed her outside and that is when i saw jeepgod walking with pamela anderson! i called for the devil and he asked what was my problem? i said you gave me this ugly chick as my punishment but what about jeepgod with pamela? the devil said "that's pamela's punishment".

I thought I was in Jeep hell when I was doing a motor swap on my jeep. It was cold and I was having a hard time with everything. I must have climbed under the jeep 150 times trying to get everything lined up. Suddenly I thought of my poor beloved Dad, bedridden and withering away with a very painful form cancer. What he would have given to be there doing what I was doing. He always worked on our cars (and everything else!) and it was hard seeing him go that way. I thanked God I was ABLE to do what I was doing and finished up the job. A lesson I will never forget...

Picture this :
All your friends are driving around in thier "done to the nutz" CJ`s having a ball and your stuck on the side of the road and you can`t join your mates because your Jeep won`t start for eternity . That`s what I think Jeep hell would be like .

How about this. US Prime Grade A wheelin space as far as you can see. Rocks, trails, & mud, it's ALL there. You've got a gonzo "industrial" Jeep built to the gills. 39.5" Boggers, FI 5.0, WC t5, AtlasII, & a D60 frontend /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif. Only thing is, it's got an AMC20 in the rear w/ 2 piece axles and no spares/wwwthreads_images/icons/shocked.gif.

Damn!! Is that a stock height YJ in those pics? Pretty close I think. It'd be REAL funny if it was a CJ, and he decided to put a YJ grill up front 4-LOOX(read license plate). Either way, the f**ker should be strapped up to someone's Jeep and dragged through Moab and the Rubicon, BARE ASSED! Let's see what's in store for that little b*tch in JEEP HELL!!!/wwwthreads_images/icons/mad.gif

I think that Jeep hell would be haveing your dream Jeep built exactly the way that you want it right down to every last detail and live were you can see the greatest four wheeling that you can imagine but the Greenies have managed to get ever last trail in the world closed.

Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.

My current Jeep Hell is having all the parts and tools needed to finish my CJ7 sitting at home while I am working 14hrs a day trying to finish a new Casino Project. Dark when I get up, dark when I get home, and too tired to switch on the halogen lights. But I guess working so much pays for the parts and tools.

It's definetly a drag not having it done yet. We went to Naches (Funny Rocks, Moon Rocks, Shoe String)a few weekends ago and I had to play navigator 'cause the Jeep wasn't done. Oh well, less breakage that way, and the more it sits in the carport, the less chance I have at rolling another one /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif

hows this..
is..say..1987
your dad gets most of the parts to an 80 cj-7 and proceeds to build a jeep with your help..32" tires, chrome 10" wheels, shortshaft d-300, totally rebuilt. and for your 16th b-day.. a metalic gray paint job. dad gives it to you,so of course whithin 3 months you roll is so bad both frame rails are bent over 6", the tranny's output shaft is broke odd in the x-fer case, and the engine is pushed back 9"...
so......
you buy a wreck of a cj for $500 with no top, no doors, no floors etc..(late fall in wisconsin)
about 2 months goes by before you destroy the tranny, bend the tie rod, and tear the exhaust off. you dont have the $$ to fix it, so you sell it to your uncle who completely restores it and still owns it to this day.
1989...another rotted jeep for $500, but this one has a t-18 and a good running 304 (and hard top w/doors)
1990...body completey rots off thats jeep, and again broke..you strip it for parts and buy.GASP..a car
1992...you find an old cj-7 sitting in a yard that doesnt move.. knock on the door, but no answer.
1993...you enlist (AKA get a JOB) and go home on leave, knock on that door again, and buy a 76 cj-7 from a nice widdow that has 56k original on it with a 304 and q-track.
1994..you burn up 2 x-fer case chains and hydrolock the engine
1995..swap in a 360 and marvel at how getting stuck in saltwater acouple times doesnt do cj bodies any good.
1996...find a great deal on another 80 cj-7 and buy it...no need for 2 jeeps, so you sell the old 76. that winter, drive the 80 from south carolina to wisconsin to paint it and pick up the spare hard top w/doors and install the t-18 since you already broke the t-176 in this one.
1997...this is the nicest looking jeep you have ever seen.. you are happy... and about to go on the boat for 9 months, so, when a buddy offers a lot of $$$, you sell your pride and joy..he rolls it 2 weeks later.
1998...find a good deal on a cj-7...fiberglass tub, 258, pearl white paint, 4" lift, 35's, and once again you are happy untill you take it to tellico and break the front ring and pinion 2 hours into the first trail.
1999...install a 360 hp engine in you jeep, and tear the fram in half several times...initiating a frame off resto costing all your $$$. might as well upgrade the axles too, so you build a d-44 for the front..lockers, tj frame, 1 pc axles in the AMC 20...
2000...swap in 1 ton axles, and eventually cut then down and get at a lot of the little things irritating you..
2001...wheel the jeep about 5 times before roliing it and totalling it. must start over.. again..

every time my jeep is looking pretty good.. i have to start over.....thats hell...

~~Elusive~~
1 ton tj-7 thingy R.I.P. (Rest In Pieces)
Current State...rolled
