Vehicle Description
1987 Jeep CJ7
The Wrangler YJ was made from 1987 up until 1985. The engine of
this model became more productive and the U-joints were broader.
This jeep has some differences from other models but the most
outstanding of them is the shape of the headlights. The Wrangler YJ
featured square headlights which makes it very easy to spot
anywhere. Many criticized this bold design move but owners of this
model like to defend themselves from being unique people. If you
dare to be different, going for this obvious Jeep model makes
sense. The Wrangler YJ featured a slightly different grille from
previous models. The grille was slightly rounded at mid-point. This
design was still reflected in the TJ version later on. This model
looked a lot like the CJ model but had more in common with the XJ
model regarding design. If ever there was a different jeep model it
would be the YJ. This is the one and only model with square
headlights which a lot of Jeep customers seemed to dislike. These
different headlights caused a lot of insults to this model than any
other Jeep ever built but it also made the Wrangler YJ very easy to
spot. Apart from the headlights, the YJ is not so different from
the CJ model. Both Jeeps were made for civilians and the former was
a successor of the latter. The leaf springs for suspension on the
YJ were broader than the CJ and the front grille was different as
it featured a bend almost halfway. The body of both models was,
however, almost indistinguishable. Development for the Wrangler YJ
began in 1982 as a possible replacement for the Wrangler C7. Design
went on in 1983 and by 1984, first models for testing were
finished. The evolution finished at the end of 1985 when the first
steps advanced into production. In the start of 1986, the 1987
Wrangler YJ was revealed. Production began shortly after and the
vehicle was available before the middle of the same year.
For consignment, a first year 1987 version of the venerable Jeep
Wrangler YJ. This comes to us done right with a 350/350 powertrain
combination, a new fuse box and wiring, updated but still rectangle
headlights, redone suspension, a really snazzy digital camo paint
scheme, a Ziebarted tub and undercarriage, and a matching camo
paint hardtop. Add in some new wheels and tires, a front mounted
winch, auxiliary lighting on the exoskeleton roll cage and fresh
Pennsylvania emissions and safety inspection and you are ready to
brave the wilds of scenic Morgantown, PA or grab your groover and
your camping gear and do some off roading in the Badlands of South
Dakota.
Exterior
From its Rhino-lined 6 vertical bar front end with the close
updated LED headlights on either side, to the squared off and
smoked turn signal lights just below, it is iconic looking and
reminiscent of the earlier versions which served our country during
the wars. Leading the way is a custom front bumper with notonly
fishing poles holders for those stopovers at the mountain lake but
also a Badlands winch with a new cable to help you reel in that big
fish, or get yourself unstuck should you find yourself way off the
beaten path. It has flanking fenders in front with plastic guards
to minimize the mud which may inevitably get in your face while
trudging through the trails. All of the steel has been massaged to
perfection and then coated with a digital camo paint scheme with
varying areas of white, black and gray...trippy dude! Some
removable full doors with roll up glass, a roll bar and exoskeleton
roll bar with a roof rack for your extras and a long thin lightbar
flanked on the sides by small round LED lighting and the truck is
otherwise open to the elements. (That's the way I like it, UH HUH,
UH HUH). We see a brightred jack strapped to the flip up hood and
just in front of the windshield are....you guessed it, more LED
lighting. Large 15-inch drilled andmirror polished ProComp wheels
are wrapped by new 35x12R15LT Cooper M/T mud slinging tires all
around and bridging the gap between the front and rear wheels are
Rock Sliders step bars. A swing away aware tire hangs off of the
rear and when out of the way access to a small storage area via a
fold down gate is seen. A new black rear bumper with dual D-ring
hooks is seen in the back and a trailer hitch is noted on the
bottom.
Interior
With no doors on for balance I donned my parachute and climbed up
the patented Classic Auto Mall step ladder and moved myself into
the freshly Ziebart coated body tub. Here I parked my ample
posterior on one of the clean high backed integrated headrest black
vinyl bucket seats in front and with a turn of my head I gazed upon
a matching small rear bench in back. These seats appear as new and
are flanking a black padded lockable vinyl console complete with
cupholders and the full monte of rocker switches for the auxiliary
lighting as well as USB ports. The floors have a coating of
textured paint, so it doesn't matter if it gets wet or muddy, just
hose it off! In front, a full metal jacket digital camo painted
dash front that is peppered with a black padded panel for a topper
and a central instrument panel in plastic. Round gauges and some
pulls are within this panel along with an aftermarket AM/FM/CD
stereo. The steering wheel appears original to the truck and has a
central Jeep badge on it. A short arm B&M ratchet shift lever
reaches for the driver and to its right is a custom wrench level
for the transfer case. A final glance at the dash before my
parachute trip back to terra firma reveals a top mounted gauge pod
with a compass and pitch and roll angle meters.
GERONIMOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a new 350ci HO Chevrolet V8 crate motor. This
chrome dressed mill sits within a very clean satin black fully
restored engine bay with supple hoses and wiring. This has an
Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor to feed it along with an Edelbrock
aluminum intake manifold, and a TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission is bolted on back. The axles spec out with a Dana 30
old school locker axle in the front and a Dana 35 axle in the
rear.
Undercarriage
Full rust free and protected by an ample coating of Ziebart
Rhino-Liner is what meets oureyes with this off roader up in the
air. Leaf spring suspension are on for the front and rear
suspension and we note new shocks all around and a newsteering
damper. Also seen is an adjustable track bar, removable swaybar end
links, and the center portion of the Rock Slider protecting the
transmission and transfercase. On the 4 corners are power disc
brakes on front, and power drums for the rear. A headers are on for
the mighty exhale and work together with high flow catalytic
converters and true dual Magnaflow stainless steel exhaust.
Drive-Ability
Open air, smooth acceleration and easy shifting allow this 4x4 to
be driven daily or just hit the trail and get away when the shit
comes down. Open to the elements so you will be very accustomed to
the outside weather when you arrive at your campsite or grab a few
friends and throw on that matching hardtop and your doors and roll
this functional skate year round.
Grab your groover, mount the kayak and go exploring, climbing,
camping and whatever else we do in the great outdoors. Let's get a
little mud on the tires!
