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.
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.

Finished in white with a black interior, it features a Clifford Performance blueprinted 292ci inline-six, NV4500 5-speed manual transmission, Atlas transfer case, MasterCraft Baja RS suspension seats, and a long list of purpose-built improvements.

Showing just 1,210 miles, it combines its classic Renegade identity with modernized fueling and ignition, a 5-speed manual transmission, a 2-inch suspension lift, a TDK frame, upgraded instrumentation, and a refreshed interior. Finished in Chevrolet Shark Gray with a black hard top, it has the rugged stance of a traditional CJ while bringing in just enough modern hardware to make it a particularly appealing enthusiast build.

The Wrangler Rubicon 392 is the kind of vehicle Jeep enthusiasts had been asking for long before it finally became reality—a genuine V8-powered Wrangler combining old-school muscle with the rugged personality of the Rubicon nameplate. This 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 4x4 takes that already special formula and makes it even harder to miss thanks to its Lime Green exterior and custom paint job. With under 10,000 miles, it also brings the appeal of a relatively low-mileage example. Customer Preferred Package 27X equipment, a Black/Red Nappa leather interior, and the unmistakable character of a 6.4L HEMI V8 make this Wrangler a particularly exciting choice for someone who wants serious road presence with true enthusiast appeal.
