This will be a thread to document and track work and condition. So let me introduce you all officially to Brown Betty. 

 

1977 CJ-7 base model. 304 V8 TH400 Borg quadratrac

 

These photos were provided by the previous owners children. These show Betty just as I found her. Sitting the same way since ~2017. 

 

 

 

After exposing her to the sun for the first time in nearly a decade she areived at her new home. 

 

***this space reserved for picture to be added later. (Wife took them, and hasnt sent them too me yet)***

 

And after a quick bath shes tucked in the shop to get some needed attention.

After I got her all tucked in it snapped a few pics to just document things a little.

ITS ALIVE!!!!!

 

Well sorta. Got it to idle off a gas jug. Didnt want to run it long just wanted to confirm its healthy. Now its time to get the oils changed and service a transmission. Also getting a muffler and tailpipe since those are mia.
