For the vehicle being 25 years old, not much...
Had to replace some wiring due to aftermarket tow package wiring problem.
Replaced the valve cover gasket.
Replaced the water pump.
General Comments:
This is the ultimate JEEP!
Seats and interior are perfect.
All gages and lights work.
T-18A Tranny with super low gears for excellent crawl.
I would put this 4X4 up against ANY truck or SUV.

Summary:
One big bundle of joy!!!!!!!!!!..
Faults:
Wiring harness problems. e.g...Heater blower motor goes out in wet weather..
Had one axle flange spin... It is inherent with the AMC model 20 rear differential...
General Comments:
There is not one bad comment you could make about the Jeep CJ series... They handle good off road and decent on road.. There is nothing more gratifying than taking the top off and going on a long drive on the highway or off road..
This is one vehicle that you have to drive, in order to understand the complete automotive experience...
Love my 1978 Jeep CJ-7...

Drove 78 CJ7 from age 16 until age 30. Sent to local repair facility in Mayport Fl had it overhauled and am driving it every day once again at age 35. Best vehicle ever made.
