Vehicle Description
The Jeep CJ models are both a series and a range of small,
open-bodied off-road vehicles and compact pickup trucks, built and
sold by several successive incarnations of the Jeep automobile
marque from 1945 to 1986. The 1945 Willys Jeep was the world's
first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car.
After remaining in production through a range of model numbers, and
several corporate parents, the Jeep CJ line was officially ended in
1986. More than 1.5 million CJ Jeeps were built, having continued
the same basic body style for 45 years since the Jeep first
appeared. Widely regarded as "America's workhorse", the CJs have
been described as "probably the most successful utility vehicle
ever made. "American Motors VP Joseph Cappy said the end of "CJ
production will signal an end of a very important era in Jeep
history." The Jeep CJ-7 was replaced in 1986 by the similar-looking
Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep CJ-8 and CJ-10s were succeeded by the Jeep
Comanche pickup.
The Jeep CJ-7 featured a wheelbase 10 inches longer than that of
the CJ-5, with its curved side entry cutouts partially squared up
to accommodate hinged doors. The other main difference between CJ-5
and CJ-7 was to the chassis, which consisted of two parallel
longitudinal main c-section rails. To help improve vehicle handling
and stability, the rear section of the chassis stepped out to allow
the springs and shock absorbers to be mounted closer to the outside
of the body. It was introduced for the 1976 model year, with
379,299 built during 11 years of production.
Transmission options included the standard part-time two-speed
transfer case, automatic, and an optional new automatic all-wheel
drive system called Quadra-Trac. Other features included an
optional molded hardtop, and steel doors. The CJ-7 was also
available in Renegade and Laredo models. Distinguished by their
different body decals, An optional Trak-Lok rear differential was
available, too. Axle ratio was typically 2.73, with 3.13 as an
option.
The reports of the CJ-7 were different in each type of engine: the
145 cu in diesel was mated to the 4.10 ratio axle (in both Renegade
and Laredo), while the 258 cubic-inch straight six and 150
cubic-inch four-cylinder used 3.73 and AMC V8 304-powered models
used the 3.55 ratio axles.
The CJ-7 continues to be used in the sport of mud racing, with
either the stock body or a fiberglass replica. CJ-7 has been
successfully and widely used as a favorite for rock crawling,
through simple and complex modification
