    Next Mod: Defiant light bar and lights!

    Wow. Women like that are difficult to find. My wife came with '51 CJ3-A. I was driving a '79 CJ-7 at the time. Love at first sight. I had a '67 Firebird convertible from '94 to '97. Red paint. White top and interior. 350. Enjoy your new bar and lights! Post pics!
