Vehicle Description
Looking and running great, this 1981 Jeep CJ7 Renegade is an
exhilarating vintage ride that's configured for scaling any
off-road obstacles you steer it towards, yet it's also plenty
well-suited for more civilized conditions.
While Jeep has deep roots in military usage, the CJ7 reflects the
recognition that civilians were becoming enthralled with having a
motorized mountain goat at their disposal. It's markedly longer and
a bit wider than its predecessor and affords a much smoother ride,
and you'll find actual doors sitting where cutouts had been. Clad
in very fresh Dune paint, with crisp Renegade lettering on its
hood, this CJ7 has an undeniably capable look. It's well fitted
from all angles, and you'll find its mega sturdy front and rear
bumpers sitting nice and level both in front and back. With a
10,500 lb. capacity jack securely mounted on its hood and a sturdy
new winch sitting up front, it not only looks like it could get
itself out of any jam, but could ably come to the rescue if you
came across any unfortunate motorist that got themselves in too
deep. Should the weather turn while you're out blazing a path, a
new soft top sits in place for protection.
The interior sports a largely refurbished look - it's just a short
yardage away from being in top form, and a few minor fixes will put
it over the goal line. Step inside and you'll find freshly painted
surfaces surrounding you, with an especially clean dash up front
that features upgraded digital gauges in its cluster and a fresh
pad on top. A pair of high backed buckets sits firmly in place with
a bench behind. The air conditioning system is all present and
accounted for but needs servicing to be in top form and while it
has a new Painless Wiring harness, things like the radio, wipers,
horn and LED spotlights do still need to be hooked up to be
functional. So, while it's "almost there", it's still very
enjoyable as it is. And it's worth mentioning that the entire floor
area has been well-treated with spray on liner to protect it from
wear and the elements.
All the components needed for a great time both on and off the road
are on board. There's a 258-cubic inch inline 6 under the hood with
a 2-barrel Weber on top, and the engine bay it sits in has been
well looked after, judging from its grime-free appearance and
collection of fresh hoses. The engine pairs up with a 5-speed
manual transmission with the versatile gearing to handle any
driving conditions you encounter. The CJ7 has substantial ground
clearance that combines with a firm ride reinforced by its
Skyjacker shocks, so you have one very surefooted vehicle at your
command when you engage its four-wheel drive - it's no mere
coincidence that this model is still a favorite among competitive
mud racers and rock climbers alike. An aluminum radiator sits up
front, accompanied by an electric fan to keep temperatures in check
during your offroad adventures. With its featured power steering
and 4-wheel power brakes, this vintage Jeep has the manners you'd
want in a frequent driver, as it patrols roads both paved and
unpaved on its set of 15" American Racing wheels outfitted with
sturdy Kenda Klever M/T tires.
