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.
The Jeep CJ7 Laredo’s exterior is characterized by added chrome and the “Laredo” graphics prominently displayed on either side of the car’s hood. It is painted black and features a matching black bikini top. The owner also reports that this off-roader comes with new doors. This CJ7 sits on aftermarket wheels from off-road wheel specialists Dick Cepek. The alloy wheels feature locking hubs and are wrapped in 33-inch mud terrain tires. Inside, you’ll find a black interior with individual highback seats for front-seat occupants and a rear bench. There’s even a Continental radio, which blends in perfectly with the aesthetic of this '80s off-road icon. There’s also a Jeep-branded three-spoke steering wheel up front and additional gauges for oil pressure and voltage. Being a Laredo model, this Jeep comes with a tachometer, while temperature and fuel gauges are housed as subdials inside an 85-mph speedometer.
Under the hood of this small off-roader is a powerplant that is anything but small. You’ll find a 4.2-liter inline-six engine, which was rated when new to output 98 hp and 193 lb-ft of torque. While the chassis has 140,000 miles on it, the owner reports that this 1980 Jeep CJ7’s engine was rebuilt under 7,000 miles ago. Power is sent to all four wheels via a manual transmission.

Fun fact; the CJ in Jeep CJ stands for Civilian Jeep! By 1944, Willys-Overland had started planning a civilian variant of the popular military Jeep that had revolutionized battlefields all across the theaters of World War II. They knew that the War was coming to an end, and so would their bread-and-butter product. So, by 1945, the CJ-2A was introduced and sold over 214,000 units in just four years. CJ-1 and CJ-2 were prototypes and thus not available to the public. The series continued for decades, with the CJ-7 coming in 1976. This particular 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is thus one of over 379,000 units built over a 11-year production run. Bearing 7,101 miles on the odometer, this vehicle resides in Anderson, South California, and is waiting for a new custodian.

The Jeep Gladiator is a pickup truck by Jeep. On sale since 2019, it combines the off-road abilities, removable doors, and roof of the Jeep Wrangler with a five-foot cargo bed out back. This places it in the midsize pickup truck category, but few trucks can head straight from the factory to the forest in the manner that a Gladiator can. That being said, there’s always room for upgrade and enhancement. That’s why a company called Apocalypse has cooked up this thing, proudly named the 2025 Jeep Gladiator 6X6 Hellfire Apocalypse. As you can see from our photos, it takes a Gladiator and dials it up, not to 11 but more likely to 100! Now, you can be the proud owner of this 100-mile truck that will turn heads like nothing else as you cruise along in it.
