Project CJ has been in build-up since Mike has bought it in 1984. When he bought it, it was bone stock and over the years he has built it into a very capable rock crawler and a quick street truck. Mike often gets asked if the warranty period is up. This is a spotless truck but don't get fooled by the shine. If you get close you can see the custom pin stripes and those that have been wheeling with him shake their head when he puts it on an off-camber rock climb or bush wack through the trees. Next time you see Mike ask him if he has his hood latch securely attached :)
