1982 Jeep CJ7 RENEGADE review from North America
"any jeep past 1986 is a joke"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well I tend to go 4 wheeling quite a bit.
And Its My Daily Driver. AS Of the last 2 years and I bought it in less than great condition Sor far I have...
Replaced the engine,
Replaced 3 Alternators
New Floorboards
New seats due to wear
Replaced wiring harness
New Starter
Replaced the rear axle shafts and up graded to new one piece Axle shafts
cracked head, at 140,000 miles
New clutch with engine replacement,
Blown 2 Borg Warner T-5 transmission's
tons of you joints
Brakes all the way around,
Windshield frame due to rust
heater core.
General comments?
Its needs lots of T, L,C
I love it great in all weather.
Horrible on gas, but if you own one of these jeeps then that's not a concern to you.
Drive with caution on pavement at highway speeds, and GO SLOW AROUND CORNERS.
The best vehicle for off-roading period
I'm NEVER GETTING RID OF IT
Soo much fun to drive rugged as a mack truck just expect that parts will break evry now and then.
