NON Chevy’s in the Wild

I knew someone would like it !
what is the difference? what made you think it was a CJ instead of a YJ?
The rear wheel cut outs appear to be CJ whereas the YJ’s were flat on the top and more squared off and it had round headlights - maybe it’s a combination of CJ & YJ parts ?
The wheel bolt pattern does look smaller than the CJ pattern - might have YJ axles underneath?
CJ-7’s used Model 20 rear axles and Dana30 fronts and the YJ’s went to rear Dana35 axles and a Dana30 front but put the chunk on the driver side as apposed to passenger side for the CJ’s.

you can put a CJ front clip on a YJ pretty easily. I was asking because there wasn't a pic of the front end; round versus square headlights. CJ lug pattern is 5x5.5 and YJ is 5x4.5. transfer case went from Dana 300 to NP 231 hence the swap on the front pumpkin. YJ frame is stiffer but has a lower stance over all than a CJ. you probably already know all this.
I am sure you knew I was playing devil's advocate
CJ7 and YJ doors are interchangable

Man that is a lot of cars similar to one's my family had. Brother had a duster and the torino, I had a 66 lemans, have a newer challenger now and a good friend had a 70, I was gonna buy a barracuda like that when I found my laguna.
It’s hard to tell but it looks to me that there might be a shadow of a driver side chunk in that picture.
Might have had a tub swap or a little sheet metal magic done on the rear wells along with ( as you said ) a front clip swap - what’s it look like to you ?
This may be why the YJ script is on the sides lett’n the Jeep crowd know to look closer at this CJ poser ?
Still hard to tell for certain but from this photo it looks like a Dana35 rear axle - this thing may very well be a YJ.
YJ; no lockouts on the front axle
Good eye !
Saw these Ford trucks out today - the Bronco was hurt’n me !
Saw a few Mustangs hang’n out today too.
Walked up on a few sweet rides while on this street !
Note that the MOPAR below does not say 340 or 440 on the rear fender… and it’s gotta supercharger on it!

And a few odd ones for good measure.
A few more.
And a few 4WD’s to end it on for today’s pics.
The Scout II is a 1980 with one year only Nissan diesel and T-19/Dana300 combo - the guy even installed an inter-cooler. It also had Trac-Locs front-n-rear in the D44’s.
The YJ was spotless!
The CJ-8 was really nice.

This isn't in the wild, but I'll throw it in here.
Doing the same with the Chevy thread.
My wife was cleaning behind a computer desk and found a bag of pics that I don't remember throwing together lol.
Just some of my old rides.
My first vehicle in my name. Late 70's scout. Way to long ago for me to remember exact year lol.
345, auto, 3.73s. I took possession after this pic and we added 2 leaves rear, 1 in front, and 2" shackles all around.
91 4 runner was the best wheeler I'd ever had until the current k30. And it would still definitely go places the k30 couldn't for sure. Just not deep mud. (Not stuck in the poser pic lol)
83 ramcharger. 318, 4 speed.
My cousin and me posing because we thought we were cool in our twenties lol.
65 Mercedes 190D. I had big ideas of putting a full running gear from a 4.3 S10 in it.
Trailer court told me it had to go, or my trailer did.
Gave it to a buddy and he drove over it with his grandpa's articulated tractor
$10,000 nearly new Nissan I had while living in said $1000 $h1t hole trailer.
And how it ended up after a 65 mph angle into a steep embankment.
