[** YELLER **]

This is my 1955 Jeep CJ This is what I started with.

[** YELLER **]

Where do I start, it now sits on Pro Comp 33X12.50s w/ Rock Krusher 10X15 rims, 3" Black Diamond springs, 1/2" Black Diamond shakles, 1" body lift, full cage, undergoing motor/tranny swap, from original 4 cyl and 3 speed, to Dauntless V6 with TH 350. I have already installed new stereo, Ramsey 6000lb winch, full cage, Honda bucket seats, KC lights, swingout tire carrier, push bar, paint, new gauges, more pictures to come in the future of all this work .

What's with this yellow Jeep thing going on here, I used to think it was special.  Nice looking rig there even if you did copy my color.  

[** YELLER **]

Yea it was yellow when I bought it, just not very pretty when I first got it so I wanted a color to match my personality   so I went with the brightest most eye catching , head turning , yellow I could find, only thing I have left is to paint on camelion flames  that change from green to purple .....

Nice Jeep, but I grew up in a Blazer family (grandpa had a 74, my dad had a 71, 85 and now a 91) so I'm partial to the Jimmy.  It is amazing how well they do stock, many people underestimate their capability.
