In a landscape teeming with modern off-roaders, each more costly than the last, what they invariably lack, unlike a vintage Jeep, is character. This 1979 Jeep CJ7 restoration embodies that very essence. Evolving from the Willys Jeep's military roots, the CJ7 introduced enhanced power, comfort, and utility, wrapped in the iconic Jeep silhouette. This meticulously restored CJ7 showcases a rebuilt drivetrain, superior component upgrades, and custom enhancements, clocking less than 7,000 miles since its rebuild.
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.
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.
Despite being initially conceived for military use, the original Willys Jeep was clearly destined for a much larger audience. It wasn’t long until a Civilian Jeep (CJ) model was launched, with concepts drawn up even before World War 2 ended. The seventh generation of Jeep, aka the CJ7, is a natural evolution of the original. It retains the battle-proven abilities of its military ancestor but offers a driving experience more suited for the general public. The Laredo trim took that a step higher with more amenities, including improved seats, a tachometer, chrome trim, and special graphics. Our featured car is a Jeep CJ7 Laredo, which has a host of new parts, including a recently rebuilt engine.
Jeep's much-loved CJ series is a line-up of small, two-door off-roaders that won the hearts of Americans, as well as wherever else it was sold. Debuting in 1944, Willys-Overland created the CJ as a civilianized version of their popular wartime Jeeps. After all, with the war ending, they needed a new source of bread-and-butter. Several iterations were made in sequence, with the CJ-7 appearing in 1976. It ran for ten years, and was even built under license by South Korea's Ssangyong Motor Company. This was common, as Mitsubishi Motors Japan also got the license to build the Jeep CJ-3B much earlier. However, this 1979 Jeep CJ-7 is an all-American product that has received a new heart, and some enhancements. It's perfect if you're in search of a spunky weekend toy for those impromptu off-road forays. The vehicle reportedly has 40,000 miles on it, but the new engine counts less than 1,500 miles.

Jeep has become a byword for off-roaders in general, and for good reason. Every iteration, from the original Willys Jeep to the modern incarnation of the brand, has moved the game forward. While there are now several models under the Jeep name, there’s no mistaking the Wrangler for anything else. Introduced in 1987 as a replacement for the CJ series, the Wrangler has built upon a legacy of offering solid and dependable off-roading options. The third generation offered here, known as the JK series of Wrangler, was a total redesign of the model, adding modern functionality to the already tried and tested package. It also added a four-door model in the shape of the Wrangler Unlimited, as pictured here. Our featured 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Sport comes with a 3.8-liter V6 engine and has a reported 45,000 miles on the odometer.
