Found these pictures of my mother-in-law, who passed in 2020 and her 1985 CJ. The pictures were taken in 1987 in northern NJ. The CJ was a soft-top with soft doors. The doors were stolen twice and my wife tells me how they chained the doors to the roll bar when it was parked. It came with the 258cid in-line 6 and a 4-speed manual.
In honor of her, we are one of this year's sponsors for the OBX Jeep Invasion: https://obxjeepinvasion.com/
The beach cruise from Kitty Hawk up to Duck is fun, but the real ride is the lighthouse tour that starts in Nags Head at the Bodie Island Lighthouse and ends at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Last time we went it was a line of almost 250 Jeeps cruising down NC 12.
We'll be in Yellowstone the week prior, so we're going to drive out to OBX on Sunday in time for the Lighthouse Ride and spend the day.

The young lady in the bottom picture is my wife some 10 years before we met. She was a HS senior in this photo.
