1978 Jeep CJ7 1978 CJ-7 review from North America
"They will never duplicate the rough and tough 1978 CJ7"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
