1982 Jeep CJ7 Renegade review from North America
"Lots of fun for not much money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Jeep is perfect, I love it.
The leaf and drag link were replaced due to curb hitting.
The Jeep came with no roof, I just bought one.
The seats are ripped due to wear.
There is minor rust in some places.
A front fender was replaced when I hit a tree.
General comments?
CJ Jeeps are the best vehicles to own.
I have owned lots of cars and this one is the only one I kept for more than 1 year. There is no substitute for a vehicle with no doors or roof.
Also the ability to go anywhere of road is a lot of fun. I have proved it many times, taking my stock CJ7 everywhere.
Buy yourself a Jeep.
