Jeep CJ7 1985
General description :
Now available in our Dallas Showroom is this exciting 1985 Jeep CJ7! 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 places 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.

About Jeep
The history of Jeep is a tale of rugged innovation and an iconic journey from its roots as a military workhorse to its various civilian versions, including American competitors to the Range Rover.The Birth of the Jeep:
The Jeep story began during World War II when the U.S. Army put out a call for a small, versatile, four-wheel-drive vehicle. Several American automakers responded, but the Willys-Overland company, along with its partner Ford, ultimately won the contract. The result was the Willys MB, an agile and tough vehicle that quickly earned the nickname "Jeep." The name's origin is a subject of some debate, but it's believed to have been derived from the military phonetic alphabet's "GP" designation, which stood for "General Purpose" or "Government Purpose."
World War II Service:
Jeeps became the backbone of the American military, serving in various roles from reconnaissance to medical transport. Their durability, four-wheel-drive capability, and ease of maintenance made them invaluable during the war. They were used in all theaters of the conflict and left an indelible mark on military history.
Post-War Transition:
After World War II, many surplus military Jeeps found their way into civilian hands, and their utility became evident beyond the battlefield. Recognizing this potential, Willys-Overland began producing the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, starting with the CJ-2A in 1945. These early civilian Jeeps retained their military roots but were adapted for farm, ranch, and off-road use. They soon gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts and those in need of a rugged, capable vehicle.
The Jeep Brand Expands:
Over the decades, the Jeep brand continued to evolve, introducing a wide range of models to cater to different consumer needs. The Jeep Wagoneer, introduced in 1963, was one of the earliest luxury SUVs and a competitor to the Range Rover, offering four-wheel drive and a comfortable ride.
The Jeep Cherokee, introduced in 1974, was a pioneering compact SUV that combined off-road capability with on-road comfort. Its success laid the foundation for the modern SUV segment.
In 1984, Jeep introduced the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which further advanced the brand's presence in the luxury SUV market. The Grand Cherokee was designed to deliver a refined driving experience without sacrificing its off-road prowess.
Jeep Wrangler, which evolved from the CJ series, has remained a steadfast symbol of off-road capability and rugged adventure. The Wrangler has garnered a devoted following of enthusiasts who appreciate its simplicity and go-anywhere attitude.
Jeep Renegade, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Gladiator are examples of modern Jeep models that cater to a wide range of consumer preferences and market segments.
American Competitors to the Range Rover:
While Jeep has produced various models to compete in the luxury SUV market, including the Grand Cherokee, they have also faced competition from American automakers like Cadillac and Lincoln, which have introduced their own luxury SUVs to compete with the Range Rover. These vehicles offer a blend of comfort, technology, and off-road capability, making them alternatives to the Range Rover for American consumers.
In conclusion, the history of Jeep is a story of adaptability and innovation, with the brand transitioning from its military origins to become a symbol of rugged individualism and adventure. Jeep's ability to blend off-road capability with on-road comfort has made it a respected and iconic American brand in the world of 4x4 vehicles.
