I'm new to the forum. Finally got a TJ after all these years of contemplating one. So far it's a blast. I think I will sell my CJ7 now that I have this. I have a cj5 as well that I'm restoring.

2004 Rubicon

I live in East, TN and my name is Randy.

Over look the garage mess..

It is a 1970 Monte. First year Monte carlo, and identical to my first car. I just found it a few months ago and decided to drag it home to realive my teens from the early 90's. I love the first generation Montes.

I'm definitely not brand loyal. I have Jeeps, Chevrolet's, fords, a Dodge and a Volvo. I'm just a car guy.

But I grew up riding in the back seat of CJ's. So Jeeps will always have a special place in my heart.

I had a lifted Toyota FJ that I sold to buy this Rubicon.

I love the late 60's early 70's land-boats... @Squatch will chime in for sure you sound like kindred spirits.
 
Hey, @Big_R, I think we might be related. I have ten vehicles myself, and keep another three going for the family. Owned a '70 Monte Carlo briefly in '83. Love the '70-'72 Monte. Love lots of different rides, in fact. You're going to like it here for your TJ needs. Welcome!
Sounds like we could be! Lol Since you owned a 70 monte you definitely have to be a good guy. I would take a 70-72 monte over any car in the world. I absolutely love them.

Thanks for chiming in. This seems like a great forum and I can't wait to dig around a little and learn more about the TJ. I'm going to wheel this one a little and will share pics.

Just ordered some metalcloak front fenders yesterday. Can't wait to get them installed.

Maybe I am a cousin? I used to know a guy that had a 70 Monte Carlo once. It was pretty bad ass.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forum.
I'm a car guy too but have a heavy foot. Lol
I keep blowing them up !!
I recently sold a 67 Bonneville, that thing was a boat.
You'll find that TJ'S are are simple to work on.
