My Obsession
Welcome to my Jeep page:
My name is Ricky and am from Charleston, SC. I have had a jeep since age 15, the first was a 1975 CJ-5 with a 304 V-8 . We traded it for a new 1979 CJ-5 also with a 304. I modified it as much as possible on my limited budget by putting 31" wrangler R/T's tires and a pair of KC daylighters.My dad always had a Willys Jeep around while I was growing up, so it was a good education in jeeps for me.
My present Jeep has become a real obsession.
Here are some of the specs:   1979 CJ-7 AMC 401 v-8, Holley Pro-Jection, MSD ignition,rev limiter with adjustable timing,York air compressor, dual batteries, oil cooler with remote mount filter, extra capacity oil pan with custom skid plate,hydraulic assist steering, TF 727 transmission, Dana 300 transfer case with 4:1 gears and an AA rear HD output shaft, Custom drive shafts, Dana 60's with all 35 spline shafts,Detroit Locker fron,t and spool in the rear,39.5" Boggers,Full length belly skid pan, Avalanche Engineering beadlock wheels, spring over suspension with 4" BDS springs,Warn 8274 winch, custom front dual shock hoop with twin Invader shocks, custom brake lines, swing away tire carrier with a 38.5x15 bogger spare tire, CB rack, marine stereo, GPS,Trail Max Pro seats, and everything else that goes along with trail riding.. I hope you enjoy these pics...I just removed the T-18 and Scout Dana 300 , and went auto..
