    Stop while you're ahead & replace tub & windshield frame with fiberglass ones. You'll lighten load on frame by 500+ lbs & your jeep suspension will raise up ~3" like you installed a lift kit. I've owned both a 1979 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade & a 1982 Jeep (CJ8) Scrambler so can speak with some authority on this subject. The rust is unstoppable & will break out again & again in new places. I am surprised you found one in that good of shape honestly. It must have been covered in a garage most of it's life.

I'm not good looking and I'm also 55 but when I pull into a off-roaders event, all the cute girls collect around mine and not those pathetic chrysler knock-offs. CJs are tinker toys, there's not a single part that can't be ordered. Good vid😎 YJ. sadly, and this is the truth! stands for "yuppie jeep"

    You are spot on about CJ's. When I was in high school, my uncle had a CJ-7 with a bikini top that we would use to hunt mulies and pronghorn on his ranch. It was always an adventure to hunt pronghorns in early September when the days were in the mid eighties and mulies in late November when the mornings hovered around twenty degrees. Those are some of the best memories of my life.

    You should ALWAYS disconnect the ground cable from the battery BEFORE disconnecting the positive cable. That prevents inadvertent sparking/grounding of the wrench being used. The CJ-7 was NOT the end of the line for the CJ Series. There was/is a CJ-8 that came after the CJ-7.

    It changed from CJ to YJ because Jeep eventually realized that people do not like to be called civilians as it has a derogatory ring to it. So the Jeep 'advertising campaigners' (again that reference may be derogatory and might soon change to engineers or something), decided after watching an alcoholic beverage campaign bearing the slogan 'Your life, your rules' to change the name to YJ. In other words, 'Your Jeep'. So there you have it.
