I used Quadratec for the CJ7 I had. Lots of places sell CJ parts- including JC Whitney if I remember right. They are incredibly popular.

When he asked I was thinking, "Google is your friend". But I wanted to be helpful and find places that I could say people had actually done business with. FWIW, I know what you're talking about when you say popular. My dad had a Willys Jeepster, and even they enjoyed some spill over thanks to the popularity of the Jeep in general. Thanks again guys!

So much available for a CJ, you don't even need one to start with......
Ed That's funny right there... yeah, someplace there's bound to be some original WWII era bodies still buried too, right?

Forgot to mention the frames like to rot by the rear spring perches. It's a common enough problem that you can buy a frame cap for them through Quadratec. Also check the mounts for the transfer case/skidplate and up front by the steering box. I have had 3 2wd Postal Jeeps, one of them had a 350 Chevy in it, in addition to my CJ7. The CJ I had a love/hate relationship with. It was one of the happiest days ever when I sold it, but I also miss them enough that I'm casually looking for another.

The early CJs don't have the frame rot problems that the later, boxed frame ones do. Just check up front by the steering box. I completely replaced the entire floor on my neighbor's CJ5 with parts from Classic Enterprises.
