Vehicle Description
Do you ever want to go explore the road less traveled? Head down a
dirt road out in the woods, or explore the outer reaches of a park
system? Then this CJ7 might be the vehicle you need. It can take
you to work during the week, and take you as far away from it as
possible on the weekend.
You probably noticed from the picture, that this Jeep sits a little
higher than usual. Some would say that is how a Jeep is supposed to
sit. That look is all a result of the upgrade to Dick Cepek wheels
and Wild Country tires. Looks great, doesn't it? The look gets even
better with the heavy duty black front bumper with tow hooks, and a
chrome grill which stands tall and adds a splash of flash to the
front. Tri-tone blue striping goes great with the silver paint,
dressing up the hood, spilling over the fenders and running down
the rockers. The rear bumper is also heavy duty, with tow hooks,
and a receiver in case you want to trailer an extra toy of some
sort with you. The soft top is in good condition when you want to
keep the weather out, but of course, you can drop that down and
remove the doors for fun in the sun, on or off road.
Climb inside and you will find Jeep simplicity at its best. You can
see everything around you if you are in traffic, and that beefy
Grant GT steering wheel feels good in your hands. There are
shifters for the manual transmission, and 4WD in the floor. The
dash is simple with a little button for the horn, and pull knobs
for lights, wipers, heat, defrost and fan. The tach is directly in
front of the driver with the speedo, fuel (which also means this
was real Renegade), and temperature gauges off toward the center.
An aftermarket radio/CD player provides the tunes, and your
passenger gets a grab handle to hang on to at need. Between the
front buckets is a nice big, lockable, center console with lots of
places to stash things and cup holders for everyone. The roll bar
is padded so you won't bump your head climbing in, or bumping
around off road. There is some storage room behind the back seat
perfect for a cooler that can be accessed from inside, or by
dropping the tailgate.
Pop the hood, (as long as you don't have the windshield folded
forward onto it), and you will find the tried and true 4.2 Liter
6-cylinder engine. This motor runs like a top! Everything looks
clean and there are signs of regular maintenance evident with a
fresh-looking battery and tune up items like cap, wires and plugs.
Power steering is a nice feature with those bigger tires, and an
Edelbrock air filter housing makes it easy to change the element. A
4-speed transmission gets the power distributed, of course with the
option of high or low range through the transfer case, and there
are nice skid plates protecting the oil pan, transmission and fuel
tank from damage. But those things are already off the ground a bit
thanks to the 33X12.50R15 tires on those Dick Cepek wheels, so go
ahead, play rough if you want to.
Come on down and see if this is the vehicle you have been looking
for to get you around town in style, or to help you achieve escape
velocity.
