Vehicle Description
Hard top, or no top. You have your options open with this CJ7. It
can be your reliable get-around town during the week vehicle with
its hard-top for the winter, or because of some recent serious
suspension upgrades, it can also be your get out of town for some
adventures vehicle on the weekends.
The Olympic White paint is the original color on this Jeep but was
refreshed somewhere along the way and it looks fantastic. It
proudly announces itself as a Laredo on the side of the hood, and
looks great with the Honey colored stripes against the White paint
outlining the truck. A bit of chrome dresses it up nicely on the
grill and the front bumper, as well as the back bumpers and the
wheels. The look will change like the seasons with the Honey
colored hard top and doors on for the winter, (or for the ability
to lock it up tight in town). There is a push bar in the front with
auxiliary driving lights mounted in it as well as a pair mounted on
the hood, all with their proper covers for street running of
course. The truck sits a bit higher on the new suspension and looks
great sitting on those 31X10.50s.
Open the door (if they are on there), climb in and have a seat. If
you have the hard doors on, you will enjoy the fact that the door
panels are trimmed out nicely with vinyl uppers and carpeted
lowers. The high back bucket seats are comfortable and have brand
new Bestop covers on them. The padded roll bar and the back seat
also received a new Bestop covering to match, and the rear tub has
been rhino lined. An aftermarket steering wheel matching the
interior looks great and has a Jeep center button. There is a
factory Laredo tach and clock in the dash in front of the driver
with the speedo to the right containing the fuel and water temp
gauges. Oil pressure and voltage gauges are mounted separately
above the Kenwood AM/FM/CD and iPod compatible stereo for your
listening pleasure. Between the buckets is a nice big, lockable,
center console with lots of room to stash things.
Pop the hood, and you will find the tried and true 258-cubic inch
6-cylinder engine that has had a Rochester TBI fuel injection
system with OBDII hookup added. There is also a new performance
distributor and wires, signs of good regular maintenance, and a new
exhaust system from the manifold back. Power is sent back through a
4-speed manual transmission and transfer case to the front and rear
axles outfitted with 4.10 gears. Then the fun starts with the new
steering and suspension components. Pretty much the entire steering
system is new including the steering box, control arms and
stabilizer bar. That was in preparation for the BDS YJ leaf spring
conversion with Bilstein heavy duty shocks handling the damping
duties, and sway bar links which have quick disconnects for those
times you wish to go rock crawling. Pro-Comp 15-inch alloys are
wrapped with brand-new Cooper Discovery 31X10.50s making this Jeep
look good and handle well.
Come on down and check out this CJ that's ready for anything. Then
take it home and take it anywhere you want.
