Now available in our DFW-Showroom is this exciting 1985 Jeep CJ7!
Is it time for your Jeep adventure? It's hard to argue that this
1985 Jeep CJ7 with a small block Chevy V8 conversion, a thundering
stereo, upgraded interior, and a heavy-duty suspension can deliver
a great experience. It retains all that's awesome about Jeep's
all-time favorite 4x4 and adds more of everything you want: power,
style, and comfort. The CJ7 has been the off-roading weapon of
choice for decades. This one has upgrades in all the right places
to get you anywhere you want to go. The upgrades start with 350 cu
in Chevy conversion. This conversion was enhanced with a Comp Cam
XR 258HR cam for a wide torque range, Edelbrock intake and carb,
JEGS SSR Billet Distributor, all culminating in to Hedman headers
and a Flowmaster dual exhaust. All this power is cooled by an
aluminum radiator which is ideal for crawling along at low speeds.
Stopping power comes from an upgraded dual master cylinder with
power assist. The drivetrain upgrade starts with a Chevy TH350
transmission driving the rock solid Jeep transfer case. From here
it just keeps getting better, CV type rear drive shaft, single
piece axles with welded tubes, 4.10 Yukon gears, Detroit Lockers
and new Warn front locking hubs. To deliver the horses to the
trail, polished aluminum wheels with BFGoodrich Radial All-Terrain
T/A tires do the work. The suspension has been renewed and upgraded
with Bilstein shocks all around. A steering stabilizer and dampener
have been added to help track smoothly down the road. The tub was
been refinished with bright silver paint to give it a new look,
complete with "Honey Badger" graphics on the flanks and bright blue
accents on the hood and sides. Finish quality is not car show
level, but is good with no rust in the usual spots - just right for
a vehicle destined to spend its life playing in the mud. It is not
a trailer queen, so don't worry about getting dirt on it or even
plunging into the brush, it looks great in any environment. It can
be configured in to the full open-air experience Jeepers love or
you can quickly add tube door bars for enhanced safety. It can also
be configured with its Bestop soft top or in to a "Little Pick-up"
configuration with tonneau top, windjammer and bikini top. Fender
flares have been added to cover the oversized rubber, and it has
been raised a few inches, but heavy-duty Rhino step bars and grab
handles make it easy to climb aboard. The "armoring up" continues
with rock sliders, and Rugged Ridge XHD recovery bumpers front and
rear. To help you get out of those tough spots, a Rugged Ridge
Extreme Duty 8,500 lbs synthetic line winch has been installed and
ready to go to work. The interior features two-tone high-back sport
seats that really help hold you in place during rough going.
They're more comfortable than the usual Jeep seats and look sharp
in the open cockpit of the CJ7. The instrument panel has been
reworked to use Auto Meter Phantom instruments to monitor the
engine's vitals, along with simple indicator lights and switches
for the auxiliary controls. A wood-rimmed Grant GT steering wheel
seems appropriate in this case, and a floor mounted B&M shifter
controls the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. For those stops
with friends on the trail, there's AM/FM/CD stereo with an
amplifier and subwoofer enclosure in the cargo area. This
entertainment system provides the atmosphere for those trail stops
where the tall tales are shared. This Jeep is improved in all the
areas where it really matters. It is ready to spend the weekend on
the trail, play in the sun at the beach and get you to work on
Monday. To view this vehicle in greater detail including 100+ HD
