Three years but just now getting serious. Serious $$$ that is. Got 5K in it - worth bout $800 - maybe??

 

Give me 5 days and it will be a year. They grow up so fast.

I've had my cj-5 about 3 months now. Already found 2 willy's that are looking pretty good though.

This 79 CJ5 I`ve had for about 1 1/2 years now and is basically a COMPLETE TOTAL REBUILD . I`m hoping it will see the road this summer . It`s tough owning a home( property taxes , house insurance , mortgage etc...) and have enough $$$$$$$$$$ to do the Jeep . You homeowners out there probably know what I mean . See the $ 1700.00 I have to fork out for property tax(SOON) would do nicely on the CJ , imagine the goodies I could buy /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif . Sometimes I wonder if it would be just better to have fun with my money instead of being responsible /wwwthreads_images/icons/tongue.gif

Just my .02

PS . Just for reference , the prices on used CJ5`s around here , $ 5000.00 for a "restorable one" in fair shape . Lots of 7`s around for a reasonable dollar .

I've had mine for about two years now and its just now getting close to being a more relaxed project.

I had my 88YJ for 3 years.
The only way I would get rid of it, would be for a old 304V8 or one with a Buick V6.

I've had my 74 CJ5 since october. It's getting a complete frame up, rebuild the 5.9 L, and drop in a T-18, eta on it all coming together, no idea.

Had mine for 5 years, and it wont get the TLC it needs probably for another 4 years (College... damn the man!) im trying to get it where I want it, and I get a little closer every summer....

 

Lets see we got the xj in november 99 with the idea that it would be mine, dad liked it too much, that was our family's 1st jeep. Then we got the 95yj in september I totaled in in november, having my liscisne for all of 4 days. Going looking for another today, hopefully this one will last through college as a dialy driver/ weekend warrior so that means it will last for 6 years if I'm lucky.

I've had my '69 CJ5 32 years since it was new. Just completed a $24K rebuild, so it should be good for another 32 years.

Just under 1 year and very waking moment thinking on how I get my next upgrade/fix for the 40 mile a day driver. And of course 90% of my time at work reading this BBS

Well, the body and engine of the Scrambler I've had for about 4 years now (except for most of the body which is new), the tranny and transfer is 2 years, and the axles were 23 years (came off the Family's custom ordered '78 Scout II).

The TJ we got about 5 years ago, in 1996.

The Commando I got 3 years ago.

The Willys ('47) I also got 3 years ago.

87 wrangler. bought it new. so, what is that?? 14 years?? 15 years this july.
Took that 4.2 up to 237,000 miles, on the original oil..(not really, but there wasnt much that broke at all..) Then my mechanic dropped the engine and cracked the block... ARG!!! It was runnning better than ever.. So, now, my legacy is gone. And the new engine will be in the Jeep about 2 weeks.

Bought our 1986 XJ Cherokee new, from the AMC dealer....15 years ago; it is still stock but it will get a rebuild someday./wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif

 

Been almost a year for me and my '88. Got it nearly cherry for $3900 and after all my fixs and mods (say almost $2000), its worth about $3800, max.

I don't think any Jeep owner owns an Economics book.

Lets see, a little over 4 years ago.

It actually feels like I have spent the past 4 years under it however. Although the checkbook indicates it must have been around a lot longer.

I've had my CJ7 for 7 years now. It's not done yet, either. I don't think it ever will be.

I've had my 91YJ for 5 1/2 years now. I don't think that I will ever get rid of it.

 

I bought mine when I was 16, had it for 9 years now. Only vehicle I've ever owned, and plan on owning it for the rest of my life. Love it more every day!
