Wow, you have a classic beast! I have always wanted an old CJ5 or CJ7. Sounds like you have a very capable rig there!

Welcome to Overland Bound, I am one of your U.S. West Member representatives. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me @Magic Mike anytime. You can also contact our Regional Director @Narbob if the need arises.

Make sure to browse the New member thread for great information and it will help you navigate the Overland Bound website. Also keep an eye on Rally Points and the member calendar. These are great places to find information on Local meetups, trail runs and training opportunities.

There is a good local meetup close to you every month. It is Ripon, California. Check Rally points for specific information.

Look forward to meeting you on the trail.
