Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted February 1, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2015 Once upon a time I had a Jeep, an 86 CJ7. Last of the AMC versions. On Saturday, I went with my son to the Dayton off-road show and saw a CJ7 much like mine. The license plate tells it all: On the way home we stopped at Warped Wing brewing and filled a growler with their Rye IPA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted February 1, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2015 I had an 81 CJ7 that I loved. It had the 2.5 inline 4 cylinder. 31 X 11.5 taars. Blue, Laredo. Loved that thing. Drove it the whole time I was stationed in Pensacola and then brough it to Indiana and put in my Dad's barn while I was in Okinawa. When I came back.it needed a lot of work to safely be on the road again. Dad talked me into selling it and I have regretted it every since then. I recently bought a 79 CJ5 to restore but I didn't like the 5 compared to the 7 and sold it. One day I'd like to have a 7 or even an 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted February 1, 2015 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2015 That's a good looking 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted February 1, 2015 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2015 Wonder which motor? Most common by far was the 258 inline 6. They had a 304 V8 as well and a 151 4 cylinder. And there was a V6, 231?? Not sure but there were tons of options. Most commonly these days you see a swapped in Chevy 350. Doesn't really matter. Out of my price range at the moment.

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted February 1, 2015 That is the same paint as my 86. I had the 258 straight 6. It threw a rod and I had to replace the motor. That's when I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
