1985 Jeep CJ7 w/ Chevy V8 Conversion

1985 Jeep CJ

350 V8, TH350 AUTO TRANS, GREAT SOUND & COMFORTABLE INTERIOR, SOFT TOP AND DOORS

Is it time for your Jeep adventure? It's hard to argue that this 1985 Jeep CJ7 with a small block Chevy V8 conversion, a thundering stereo, upgraded interior, and a heavy-duty suspension can deliver a great experience. It retains all that's awesome about Jeep's all-time favorite 4x4 and adds more of everything you want: power, style, and comfort.

The CJ7 has been the off-roading weapon of choice for decades.This one has upgrades in all the right to get you anywhere you want to go.

The upgrades start with 350 cu in Chevy conversion.This conversion was enhanced with a Comp Cam XR 258HR cam for a wide torque range, Edelbrock intake and carb, JEGS SSR Billet Distributor, all culminating in to Hedman headers and a Flowmaster dual exhaust.All this power is cooled by an aluminum radiator which is ideal for crawling along at low speeds. Stopping power comes from an upgraded dual master cylinder with power assist.

The drivetrain upgrade starts with a Chevy TH350 transmission driving the rock solid Jeep transfer case.From here it just keeps getting better,CV type rear drive shaft, single piece axles with welded tubes, 4.10 Yukon gears, Detroit Lockers and new Warn front locking hubs.To deliver the horses to the trail, polished aluminum wheels with BFGoodrich Radial All-Terrain T/A tires do the work.

The suspension has been renewed and upgraded with Bilstein shocks all around.A steering stabilizer and dampener have been added to help track smoothly down the road.

The tub was been refinished with bright silver paint to give it a new look, complete with "Honey Badger" graphics on the flanks and bright blue accents on the hood and sides. Finish quality is not car show level, but is good with no rust in the usual spots - just right for a vehicle destined to spend its life playing in the mud. It is not a trailer queen, so don't worry about getting dirt on it or even plunging into the brush, it looks great in any environment.

It can be configured in to the full open-air experience Jeepers love or you can quickly add tube door bars for enhanced safety. It can also be configured with its Bestop soft top or in to a "Little Pick-up" configuration with tonneau top, windjammer and bikini top.Fender flares have been added to cover the oversized rubber, and it has been raised a few inches, but heavy-duty Rhino step bars and grab handles make it easy to climb aboard.

The "armoring up" continues with rock sliders, and Rugged Ridge XHD recovery bumpers front and rear.To help you get out of those tough spots, a Rugged Ridge Extreme Duty 8,500 lbs synthetic line winch has been installed and ready to go to work.

The interior features two-tone high-back sport seats that really help hold you in place during rough going. They're more comfortable than the usual Jeep seats and look sharp in the open cockpit of the CJ7. The instrument panel has been reworked to use Auto Meter Phantom instruments to monitor the engine's vitals, along with simple indicator lights and switches for the auxiliary controls. A wood-rimmed Grant GT steering wheel seems appropriate in this case, and a floor mounted B&M shifter controls the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission.

For those stops with friends on the trail, there's AM/FM/CD stereo with an amplifier and subwoofer enclosure in the cargo area. This entertainment system provides the atmosphere for those trail stops where the tall tales are shared.

This Jeep is improved in all the areas where it really matters. It is ready to spend the weekend on the trail, play in the sun at the beach and get you to work on Monday.
