1983 Jeep CJ7 review from North America
"Everybody should have a jeep"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a lot of rust I need to fix.
Rear main oil seal. Fixed 3 times, still leaks.
Steering stabilizer leaked when I got it.
Rear axle seals were bad when I got it.
General comments?
I love my Jeep. I can't think of any other car I would like to drive. Its my daily driver, it has a 3" body lift with 31x10.5 tires, and will soon have a 2" suspension lift with 33x11.5 tires, lockers and a winch.
