Gorgeous jeep! I had a 1975 CJ5 all fiberglass body, 304 headers, side pipes lifted on 35" Mickey's. Painted it 1981 trans am blue! Almost rolled it on the way to work one day then sold it. Wished i never did! You won't find many much cleaner one anymore like the one in video

That's one beautiful CJ7! I would be careful with the front shackle lift. As you add lift using a shackle, the caster angle decreases along with the self-centering action of the front axle, causing wandering. The pinion angle also changes, which could cause drive-line issues. The ride will also be stiffer the closer to straight up&down the shackle is, so the increased length will stiffen your ride as well. Don't get me wrong, it's not the end of the world, just keep that in mind if you ever have problems you can't figure out in the future.

love this Jeep, always wanted a CJ-7.

It’s a time capsule for sure. Such a classic 👍🏼

Very cool CJ... brings back memories of my late Dads Levi edition CJ back in the 80's.

Nice ride and really cool that it's been in the family so long. Thank you for sharing!

That's the OE carpet. Very hard to find and yours looks awesome!!!

Beautiful CJ7! Always admired the Scramblers of the same era. It looks really good in that blue. You are right, always gotta go with the white letters out. Hope y’all are staying warm.

Thanks! My dad has always wanted a scrambler. They are super hard to come by in good shape unfortunately.

Stepdad if you could call him that had a red cj-7 with a 304 4 speed and it was cold in the winter. Cold air got in everywhere with the soft top/doors and the heater couldnt keep up. Ran good. 😂

Absolutely perfect just the way it is!

Thank you! We love it as well.

FYI. Webers MUST see less than 3 psi or they will flood. The pressure regulator you have is almost garaunteed to start leaking at some point according to a lot of videos I've seen. Quality replacement fuel pumps do not exist anymore, some people have gone thru several in a year, myself included. Sooo, electric fuel pump is only way to go, edlebrock makes a 3 psi electric that can do away with regulator, but MUST be mounted under the fuel tank area, ask me how I know! Your 7 psi pump is now working even harder being restricted by reg., not likely to last long, so get ready, remember this info. I HAD TO LEARN IT THE HARD WAY, YOU DON'T! And of course, forget about rebuilding the carter, it was junk from the factory... $120 "redline" weber regulator seems to be the only one that lasts. Good luck.

I've done so much of the same on my 82 cj5. Same carb, same fuel pressure regulator. I tore out most of the wiring and swapped in an HEI distributor from summit and it purrs at idle about 650 rpms. I think mine was the same color and everything, but I sprayed it black.

That is one clean Jeep

The T5 and T176 were both available. in the later CJ's. 2.73 and 3.31's were the factory axle ratios in the later CJ's. 3.54 would have been swapped in. Very good looking Jeep.

Just acquired a 2003 jeep tj, black on red on black. While i love your cj, i really love my tj, it's got 100k on the clock, but it's like an old man bought it, and drove it then this old man bought it. It's like a brand new car. As if i bought it 21 years ago.

Beautifull !!!

awesome vehicle!

I have a 1985 CJ7 it starts it runs but it won’t cut off when I have it on park do you have any idea why that’s happening?

Beautiful! What about the steering. Does it play?

What brand is the soft top? Need a soft top, nice Jeep, greetings from Austin Tx

3:45 if you think 3;54s make for stalls, try the 2:73s I have in my `85. I would love to find a pair of diffs with 3:54s! 😑

This is almost identical to the ‘86 Renegade that I had…Sadly it was stolen after 11 years of ownership and I never saw it again…

Very Nice! Is that Slate Blue?

38/38 would have it actually making power , 32/36 is painfully slow to drive
