For enthusiasts who want one vehicle that can double as a road
warrior and an off-road beast, this 1985 Jeep CJ7 Laredo checks all
the right boxes. It starts up front with a heavy-duty bumper guard
housing aftermarket KC fog lights and a winch, then finishes strong
out back with tow hooks, a trailer hitch assembly, a full-size
spare, and mounted water and fuel jugs. Everything in between is
just as tough and trail-ready. The dark paint is in very good shape
and pairs nicely with the tan soft top and doors. A lifted stance,
side steps for easy entry, and lights positioned throughout the
Jeep complete the aggressive, no-nonsense look. This CJ7 has the
right artillery, whether it's crawling rocks or cruising
pavement.
Inside, the cabin appears mostly original and well-kept. The door
panels and Bestop front seats present nicely, and the carpet is
clean for a Jeep of this nature. The gauges are clear and
illuminated, and the dash houses a Sony AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo with
Bluetooth and Sirius capability. A Uniden CB radio sits under the
speedometer, while the floor-mounted shifter and four-wheel-drive
engagement lever are in perfect position for the driver. Clean door
jambs and a tidy dashboard show this Jeep has been cared for though
it's clearly itching to get dirty.
Under the hood is a Jasper 4.2-liter R&R replacement engine
from All-Terrain Auto Care, installed in 9/2025 and backed by
documentation. Power is sent through a 5-speed manual transmission
to an R&R Dana rear axle with 3.31 gearing, also replaced by
All-Terrain Auto Care in 9/2025. A Dana 30 front axle handles
four-wheel-drive duties, while a factory-style suspension paired
with a 4-inch RC lift gives this CJ7 the clearance it needs. Warn
Industries' manual locking hubs are in place, power disc brakes
handle stopping duties, and 15-inch Eagle Alloy wheels wrapped in
33-inch tires finish off the stance. A stock-style single exhaust
keeps everything breathing properly and sounding good.
