Vehicle History Report All good things must come to an end and that
included Jeep?s CJ series. This Wrangler Laredo model, part of the
YJ series, which replaced the CJ, has undergone a complete body-off
restoration, by the previous owner. This Jeep has been refinished
in a custom Tangerine Orange. The paint and trim are in overall
excellent condition, with only minor blemishes visible on close
inspection. The bodywork is straight and solid as one would expect
after a body-off restoration. The Jeep has a full, black soft-top
with a matching bikini top and a roll bar. The Laredo package
included a chrome grille, bumpers and trim, hard top and hard full
doors, tinted windows, faux leather interior, body color fender
flares and alloy wheels. An AM/FM stereo with cassette player, rear
speaker sound bar, rear removable bench seat and high-back cloth
bucket seats all came standard. ?LAREDO? decals adorned the hood on
both sides or on the lower front fenders as part of the side
stripes. This unit also has a custom Rough Country lift kit and
shock absorbers. The engine bay, with an upgraded hood, is
extremely tidy, the battery appears new, the Bushwacker front
grille, the cargo area is in very good order and the black front
bumper/bash bar with its pair of Hella foglights is ready to
rumble. There are aftermarket side steps to assist with vehicle
ingress and egress. This Jeep rolls on BFGoodrich All-Terrain Baja
Champion tires, size 35x12.50R15 all around. Each tire is mounted
to a 15-inch American Racing alloy wheel. The wheels and tires are
newer. There?s an additional full-size spare tire mounted on the
rear of the vehicle. Under the hood is a completely rebuilt and
repainted 4.2L straight six-cylinder engine,as stated by the
previous owner. Backing it is a five-speed manual transmission
(code BA-10) and a New Process 207 two-speed transfer case. Driver
convenience features include power steering, power brakes, a
12-volt power outlet, interval windshield wipers and tilt steering
column. Inside, there are adjustable black front buckets with
contoured side bolsters that appear are in very good order. The
rear bench seat is in similar order. There?s no carpeting or floor
mats but the custom body color continues inside and presents a
striking contrast to the black upholstery. A three-spoke black
steering wheel faces the driver and is in very good order. The
black instrument panel and inner door liners are all in very good
order. E-brake is Inop. Rounding out the interior is a 208-watt,
AM/FM stereo with CD player plus an overhead soundbar with power
bass and speakers. American Motors Corporation (AMC) had designed
the new Jeep to be more comfortable on-road in an attempt to
attract more daily drivers. It was a significantly new design with
a wider track, slightly less ground clearance, more comfort and
improved handling. The YJ still had leaf spring suspension similar
to that of the CJ ? however the springs were wider, and the first
Wrangler sported trackbar suspension links and anti-roll bars for
improved handling and safety, making it less easy to flip by
untrained or unwary drivers. Despite the new grille, the body is
very similar to that of the CJ-7, and it is interchangeable with
some minor modifications. The YJ also was given a larger windshield
over the CJ. The YJs are easily identifiable due to the rectangular
headlights and the fact that the wiper blades rest on the
windshield, giving this version a distinctive look. The blades
rested on the windshield due to the now wider arc of the blades to
clean the larger windshield. These two changes were later removed
when the TJ was launched 1996. Six hundred thirty-two thousand, two
hundred thirty-one YJs were built through model year 1995, although
YJs were still sold into mid-1996, bringing the total production
number to 685,071 units. Despite its similar look to the Jeep (CJ)
its design was new from the ground up and had more in common with
the newer downsized Cherokee (XJ) model. Competition to this Jeep
in 1987 included Chevrolet?s S-10 Blazer, Dodge?s Raider, Ford?s
Bronco II, GMC?s S-15 Jimmy, Mitsubishi?s Montero, Nissan?s
Pathfinder and Toyota?s 4Runner. This one-of-a-kind Jeep looks
fantastic and isn?t likely to hang around long at MotoeXotica
Classic Cars. If you?re interested in a CJ-series lookalike with
more modern touches, you owe it to yourself to stop by today and
see this treasure for yourself! VIN: 2BCCV8140HB531256 This truck
