Jeep Jamboree '83

Caught the Bug
I was lucky to be invited to the jamboree in 1983 by JEEP. At the time my Dad (Passed away Feb 2017 so this is for him) was part of the AMC board and coordinator of the Renault deal (first diesel engines in a CJ -anemic 2.0 Renault) AMC was kind enough to hand out a bunch of 1983 CJ7 Renegade finish 4 and 6 cyclinder versions with a mild kit and tires, cooler tent and kit in the back. IT WAS A BLAST. Here a few shots hope you enjoy them.
