Vehicle Description
Nothing says, "I'll go anywhere" quite like a Jeep CJ7, especially
one with substantial upgrades under the skin. V8 power, an upgraded
suspension, and a full cosmetic makeover make this 1976 Jeep CJ7
Renegade the ultimate way to get dirty.
It might just be the most recognizable automobile in the entire
world. It has been on every continent and crossed the most
forbidding lands in the world. Even more than 40 years after it
arrived on the scene, the evergreen Jeep has kept its rugged good
looks. Someone spent big on this one, restoring it to almost new
condition cosmetically, including the gorgeous red paint and black
Renegade graphics. CJ7s were notorious for rusting, particularly
around the rear of the body, but this one was spared that fate
thanks to a lifetime someplace warm. The paint is nice enough that
you'll probably think twice about plunging into the brush with it,
but you'll definitely have the hardware to get wherever you need to
go. Sure, there are a few nicks and scratches, but at least you
won't be the first one to mark the paint. Accessories include a
chrome front bumper, matching step plates, crystal headlights, plus
a mesh grille that does little to disguise the Jeep's timeless
looks but keeps the bugs out of the radiator.
WWII GIs would have killed for an interior like this in their
Jeeps, but it remains simple and durable in the best off-roading
tradition. New BesTop seat covers actually look expensive and
upscale, yet wash off with a hose. The dash is a single sheet of
brushed stainless steel with all the original gauges reinstalled
(plus a few extras), so it has a clean look that's 100% Jeep.
Shockingly, this Jeep also offers a fantastic Kenwood custom stereo
system with Pioneer all-weather speakers, a tilt steering column
with the original wheel, and a custom shifter for the manual
gearbox, so it's hardly a hardship to drive it daily. Spray-on
bedliner material protects the floors so there's no denying that
it's still basic and rugged. For some protection from the elements,
it also includes a bikini top and matching half doors for inclement
weather.
Mechanically, this Jeep is virtually invincible. The engine you
want is the rugged, torquey AMC 304 cubic inch V8, although this
one has a few welcome upgrades. Up top, there's an Edelbrock
carburetor and intake, a chrome air cleaner, and a factory-style
ignition system. A big radiator keeps it cool when you're just
crawling and it sounds awesome with a true dual exhaust system that
dumps out the sides. Power steering and power brakes mean that the
big tires don't hinder on-road performance and it's very
user-friendly in the dirt. The manual transmission is linked to a
2-speed transfer case and heavy-duty axles front and rear, and
you'll note that the suspension offers an additional few inches of
lift thanks to a lift kit and a set of beefy shocks, a steering
stabilizer, and a rebuilt front suspension to guarantee traction in
the rough. Cool black wheels simulate the bead-lock look and wear
massive 35x12.50-15 General off-road tires to complete the
go-anywhere look
