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. It has about a 4" lift. Then they mounted those big and beefy
Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs on deep dish aluminum alloy wheels and
stuffed them up under the fenders. They look great! And those dish
wheels have got to be easier to keep clean than spoked wheels. The
look gets even better with the glossy black paint dressed up with a
bit of chrome. Up front the chrome grill has wire brush guards on
all the lights and a heavy-duty front bumper with tow hooks has a
high lift jack mounted across the top of it. Chrome windshield
hinges as well as side mirrors add a splash of flash and the full
soft top is in good condition for when you want to keep the weather
out, but gives you the option of removing parts of it or all of it
for some fun in the sun.
Climb inside and you will find Jeep simplicity with a twist. The
entire floor has been coated with bedliner for a good look and easy
cleaning. The twist is the upgraded dash panel with white faced
Autometer Phantom II gauges to keep track of your speed, RPM, fuel,
water temp, and oil pressure. A racing electrical panel has water
proof rocker switches lined up for easy operation, with color coded
lights above them for easy identification at night, and the fuse
for each circuit below it. You sit up high in the bucket seats so
you can see everything around you if you are in traffic, and that
beefy steering wheel feels good in your hands. The shifter for the
automatic transmission is mounted on the column and the one for the
transfer case is on the floor. Between the front buckets is a nice
big, lockable, center console with lots of places to stash things
as well as a couple cup holders.
Pop the hood, (as long as you don't have the windshield folded
forward onto it), and you will find a 350 cubic inch V8 motor
nestled down in that engine bay. It is a throttle body injected
motor with an AIRAID free-flow intake feeding it lots of cool,
fresh air. Spent gasses are handled by headers that wind their way
out the bottom and back to a Flowmaster muffler. Signs of good
regular maintenance include a newer brake master cylinder and brake
booster. Power flows back through a 4-speed automatic transmission
and the transfer case to solid axles mounted on leaf springs both
front and rear. Power steering makes it easy to maneuver around in
parking lots with those big tires, and a steering damper helps when
you are playing off road. Power front disc brakes provide great
stopping power and the rubber meets the road, or the trail, through
those 35X12.50 Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs.
Come on down and check this Jeep out. It can get you around town in
style, and is set up for some good clean off-road fun too. So, go
ahead, play rough if you want to.
