This meticulously restored CJ7 showcases a rebuilt drivetrain, superior component upgrades, and custom enhancements, clocking less than 7,000 miles since its rebuild.
Exterior and Interior
Adorned in an off-white hue, this 1979 Jeep CJ7 restoration exudes a timeless appeal, perfectly complementing its contemporary modifications. Stripping down to its essence by removing the Supertop and soft full doors invites an immersive outdoor experience, further accentuated by a custom-built, frame-mounted six-point roll cage. The front boasts a custom bumper equipped with a 10,000 lb Smittybilt X20 winch and tow shackles, alongside protective differential rock guards, side rail rock plates, and nerf running board side steps. A new fiberglass body tub, metal front fenders, and grille update its aesthetics and durability. The rear setup includes a custom bumper with a tow hitch and trailer wiring, complemented by a swing-out tire rack, luggage rack, and dual jerry can racks with tie-downs. This CJ7 rides on 15-inch wheels shod in 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 tires, elevated by a Rubicon Express four-inch leaf spring lift. The undercarriage, including fender wells and engine bay, has been meticulously treated with a primer, rubberized undercoating, and paint for enhanced protection. The interior is refreshed with new neoprene seat covers and quick-release seatbelts for added safety. Designed for easy maintenance, the cabin includes four floor drain plugs, exterior waterproof speakers, and a new dashboard outfitted with updated gauges.
Engine
Powering this CJ7 is a meticulously rebuilt 4.2-liter inline-six engine, overhauled by S&J Engines in Washington. The engine benefits from machined headwork, over-bored aluminum sleeves, a new DUI distributor, and a California-compliant Howell throttle body injection kit. A triple-core aluminum radiator ensures optimal cooling, while a new dump exhaust system efficiently expels gases. Transmission duties are handled by a rebuilt T-18 four-speed, delivering power to a Detroit locker differential with flanged axles and a reinforced axle housing. Front end enhancements include new Warn locking hubs and axles fine-tuned by WFO Concepts, who also supplied custom driveline components, pitman arms, and chassis reinforcements, bolstering its off-road capability and handling.
