Vehicle Description
This Jeep hits a particular sweet spot. The later CJ7s like this
1982 Renegade example carries the iconic design, and mixes it with
desirable features that were not available on its older siblings,
like the five-speed manual transmission. That's why we know you're
going to do a double-take when you see the price on this hardtop
4x4.
The hood announces the Renegade model, but this is more than just a
trim level...It's an attitude. The trail-ready lifted suspension,
tow hitch, full-size spare hanging off the rear, and KC lights
instantly recognizable as an off-road rebel. And the green paint
with tri-color striping that runs along the sides and on top of the
hood is the kind of color combo that you'd see camping on a summer
night. But there's also another side to this Jeep. The handsome tan
hardtop body and convenient side steps means while this has the
ability to be a country climber, it also can be easy on the city
slickers, too.
If you like the way the tan hardtop looks on this CJ, then you'll
be equally happy when you remove the roof. And when these bucket
seats are out in the world, the color just seems to be the right
match with the earthy tones of the exterior. While all seats look
like they have been recovered recently in a nearly bulletproof
vinyl, they are comfortable enough to make the trail an easy ride.
In between is a locking center console that also has the welcomed
addition of cup holders. The controls are laid out in typical Jeep
fashion, with a grippy three-spoke steering wheel, long-throw
shifter for everyday use, and a shorter stalk to engage four-wheel
drive. Plus, heater controls and gauges clustered in the center of
the dash. This one even has full carpeting and provisions for
factory air conditioning, so it offers a level of comfort you don't
find in most CJs.
Under the hood is a 258 cubic-inch inline-six motor that's a long
established powerplant for Jeep. It's part of what built the CJ's
go-anywhere reputation and continues to have easy parts
availability. Torquey and robust, this is the engine you want
pulling through daily traffic or the worst slop Mother Nature can
throw at you. The five-speed manual is great for driving in-town,
and when the pavement ends, it works with the Dana 300 transfer
case and feeds the seriously beefy axles at both ends. Tall gears
and low range give it rock-crawling stability, and features like
power steering and front disc brakes are great no matter where
you're driving.
Jeeps carry a certain kind of cool that makes them welcomed
everywhere they go. So when you can find one with off-road ability
AND in-town comfort, you have truly found a go-anywhere vehicle.
And when it's this affordable, you also know you need to act fast.
