In terms of pure visual recognition, nothing comes close to the
iconic Jeep brand. Before the Wrangler came along, the Jeep CJ
series was essentially a civilian version (CJ stood for Civilian
Jeep) of the military variants, making it more driver- and
passenger-friendly. First introduced in 1945 with the Willys CJ-2A,
this 1986 Jeep CJ7 V8 represents the final year for the hardcore CJ
lineup. Decked out in its vibrant blue exterior, complemented by
its tubular chrome bumpers and side steps, this CJ7 comes with a
set of easy-to-remove soft half doors.
Inside, we find an updated yet unmistakable Spartan Jeep interior.
An aftermarket center console, complete with dual cupholders,
separates a pair of supportive bucket seats. A three-spoke,
power-assisted steering wheel sits atop a tilt column, while
push/pull and twist knobs are used for HVAC controls. A 6,000-rpm
tachometer and an 85-mph speedometer sit closest to the driver,
while a trio of auxiliary gauges provides all the pertinent
information required to monitor the engine. Two twist knobs are
ready to let you fold down the front windshield if the desire hits
you.
Under the hood, we find a 350 cubic-inch V-8 engine. Fed by a
single Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, this small block dispenses
with spent gases through a set of shorty headers that feed into a
dual exhaust capped off with a pair of Turbo mufflers to give this
Jeep an impressive and throaty growl. Power is routed through a
tried-and-true four-speed Tremec 176 manual transmission before
heading to the rear axle, which transfers those ponies to the
pavement via a set of 15-inch wheels shod in big 33-inch BFGoodrich
All-Terrain T/A tires. Engage the front axle using the
manually-locking front hubs, and all four wheels are ready to
tackle any terrain you can throw at them.
