classic vintage AMC sbc off road tubular rock rails lift black vinyl interior

1986 Jeep CJ Renegade

Jeeps are a timeless representation of a go-anywhere 4x4 spirit. So it's great to find an example like this restored 1986 Jeep CJ7 that samples from the best of this vintage line and adds in plenty of cool/modern upgrades, including a big V8 power boost.
This Jeep is distinctive from the first moment you lay eyes on it. The dark green paint looks like it could be in harmony with nature, but there's also a nice luster that signals a more recent professional application. The black stripes with classic gold renegade graphics is quite a nice looking touch, especially combined with the hood stripe. The black Renegade trim is also the perfect setup for the all darkly painted function this 4x4 has to offer. It includes tubular rock rails that double as steps, reinforced rockers, headlight guards, trailer hitch, full-size spare on a swing away mount, large fender flares, and 15-inch Mickey Thompson Deegan 38 wheels. And you're even ready to help get friends out of trouble with the Smittybilt 9,500 lbs winch mounted to the off-road front bumper.
Inside continues the black theme nicely. It starts with updated Corbeau seating that provides comfortable high-back bucket seats for the front and durable vinyl covers for all. There's a locking center console that is big enough to fit any loose items for those bumpy trail rides. And there's even an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input mounted in there, too. So you can do everything from playing the best modern music to charging your phone. There are more great upgrades, like the more modern roll bar that adds rigidity and improves rear occupant safety. Plus, there's a cool style and added protection from the elements courtesy of the removable half doors and bikini top. The driver gets a grippy Grant GT sports steering wheel, and beyond that, the dash has the CJ's central mounted speedometer and all the right supporting gauges. This includes a tach that's quite useful with the stick shift.

The bold red Chevrolet lettering in the dark and tidy engine bay instantly give away this Jeep's powerful upgrade. It's a 327 cubic-inch small block V8. It inhales deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as headers contribute to sweet sounding dual exhaust. This is a well done-total package, so it runs smooth and even has nice supporting components, like an Optima yellow top battery and a large aluminum radiator. Best of all, you are in full control of this V8 upgrade thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. The lifted suspension, Mickey Thompson MTZ Mud Terrain tires, and two-speed 4x4 transfer case let this one live up to its go-anywhere Jeep reputation. But there's an overall feeling of quality here that makes it feel good on the road, too. Plus, you have nice anytime driving features like power steering and power brakes w/discs up front.

You can tell they invested in quality when restoring and upgrading this Jeep. So if you like well-done and powerful 4x4 package, don't miss this deal.
