1978 Jeep CJ7

Description

Taking offers for a full frame off restored, custom resto-mod, rock crawler Jeep CJ-7.

May be willing to trade for other vehicles of comparable value and/or high end/very valuable firearms.

This Jeep CJ-7 is essentially perfect and far far better than it ever was when it was new. It basically looks like it’s brand new now. Many brand new parts. No rust. Ultra clean.

This is capable of doing extreme trails in Moab and other world class 4 Wheeling hot spots like the Rubicon Trail.

It’s currently sitting on temporary 35” tires although it’s built to functionally accommodate 38” tires and has been running 37×14.50” tires until recently. I’m just not sure what tires I’d want to buy for it before I sell it. I figure I’ll leave that up to the new owner and let them get exactly what they want without added cost and they can save on the purchase price.

Build sheet will be listed below.

Additional details and pricing will also be added to this listing a little later as I didn’t want to wait to get it listed.

Please contact me via the contact form to help ensure I get your message as I often miss texts and calls but always get my e mail. You’re welcome to include your telephone number via e mail so I can call you back.

Low ball offers are not likely to receive a response.

Thank you for your consideration.

I’m not a business but decided to pay to list the Jeep as a thanks for the exposure I get to the UGE community.
