Project update: Catching up with a popular Jp magazine project CJ-5

GROUND-UP, THUMBS UP

Long ago, one of the staffers at our sister publication Jp magazine had an idea ...either that or he accidentally bought a '56 Willys Jeep CJ-5 body with a title as part of an ongoing off-road vehicle addiction. Many current Four Wheeler readers were readers of Jp and you know the staff had many project ideas. The Jp staffer who built the popular Project Ground-Up CJ-5 says that most of his project ideas never came to fruition for lack of a few things: self-confidence, time, and money. Today, that same staffer will admit that he's not sure why he thought Project Ground-Up was a good idea but looking back he has to admit that it was definitely one of the best ones.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
