The Jeep CJ series is a legendary range of small, open-bodied off-roaders that were built from 1944 until 1986. Over a million and a half were made over this long production run. Not many models can boast of being made under four corporate name changes, from Willys-Overland (1944) to American Motors Corporation (Jeep) in 1971. This 91,000-mile 1981 Jeep CJ-7 is special as it's undergone a full restoration with a long list of reportedly new parts. A minor discrepancy is a non-functional odometer, but the extent of the restoration is such that you don't need to worry much and can enjoy this Jeep to the fullest every day.
Sporting a new custom blue paint job with Renegade badging and decals, this 1981 Jeep CJ-7 looks every bit the vehicle for a bit of fun in the sun. It's reportedly got new Cooper Discoverer tires, a new bikini top, new lights, new windshield wipers and new mirrors. You'd really be hard-pressed to find another CJ-series Jeep in such pristine order. Even the undercarriage shows off a fresh outlook. Inside, there's reportedly a new interior sporting new seats and an all-leather soundbar that offers Bluetooth capabilities, allowing you to blast your choice of tunes. We'd recommend The Beach Boys, but hey, it's up to you. We also spy a custom center console box with an armrest between the two front seats. Behind the two seats is a spacious luggage area that can even double as a campsite should you choose to install a custom tent.
This 1981 Jeep CJ-7 is powered by a 258ci (4.2L) AMC in-line six-cylinder engine good for 98hp and 193lb-ft when new. If those figures sound low, that's because the engine is designed to be a reliable runner rather than a high-rev screaming powerhouse. A manual transmission sends a drive to the wheels. The current owner tells us that this 1981 Jeep CJ-7 is rolling on extra-duty suspension. Moreover, the fuel lines, fuel pumps, relays, wires, spark plugs, distributor caps, steering boxes, shock absorbers, struts, gaskets, and rear seals are all said to be new items. There's also a new Weber dual carburetor feeding the engine with the right diet of air and fuel.
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.
There are very few automotive marques that have created an everlasting impression on their release and to this day.

The Jeep CJ series can trace its roots back to the original Willy’s Jeep, the car that mobilized the American forces during the Second World War. Since then, the Jeep CJ has found its way into the hearts of many around the world, who appreciate this quintessential offroader for its rugged abilities and backyard mechanic simplicity. The CJ-7 was introduced in 1976 and would be the last “CJ” Jeep before the introduction of the Wrangler that we know today. Our featured 1978 Jeep CJ-7 is described as a restomod, with a 304ci V8 engine, and a whole host of improvements to be found under the metal — that’s in no small part thanks to the owner reportedly spending over $13,000 in aftermarket work alone!

The Jeep Wrangler was introduced in 1986 as a compact off-roader with some creature comforts and family-friendly features. Now on the fourth generation, the Wrangler remains one of just two off-roaders with some special features. We’ll tell you what those are in just a bit. If you’re somewhat more of a classic Wrangler person, this second-generation 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is a great place to start. Extensively modified for even more capable off-road performance, this sub-60,000-mile vehicle currently resides in Mabank, Texas.
Ever since its inception, Jeep has been a brand that has conquered the great outdoors in style. Each model has trumped the one before and ensured its custodians travel deeper into what is unknown with confidence. Fast forward to today, and while you might spot a few off the beaten path, Jeep has now become a brand that's synonymous with an everyday luxury drive. It's for the ones who do some light off-roading on occasion. Present today is a throwback to the good old days of conquering the great outdoors with aggression and style, and it takes shape with this 2022 Jeep Gladiator AMW 707. With a reported 18,500 miles on the clock, this off-road powerhouse is custom-built by the folks over at America's Most Wanted and comes with an AMW engine package, a Compact Compressor Package, and a Wheel & Tire Package.

The 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
The GMC Jimmy is the sister vehicle of the Chevrolet Blazer. Both vehicles are basically SUV variants of the Chevy C/K-series of pickup trucks, and offer a more family-friendly value proposition. Until 1976, these SUVs also came with a removable hardtop, although it wasn’t as straightforward to remove as a typical convertible top. If you’d like to own one of these iconic vehicles, check out this 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD that’s for sale right now in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The vehicle has reportedly covered 58,000 miles so far.
