Taken from the army and made for the masses, few trucks can compare with the iconic status of the Civilian Jeep (CJ) series of one of America's favorite vehicles. This 1979 Jeep CJ7 Renegade comes decked out in a fully repainted Brown Metallic exterior paint featuring yellow and orange hood and trim graphics to give it even more charisma. Keep its removable soft top on, and you're ready to take on any weather conditions that come your way. Or, take the top off and enjoy the fun and leisurely side of this off-roading warrior thanks to its added side steps, larger fender flares, and powerful front winch.
Inside, this CJ retains its military no-frills personality with a few notable exceptions. An added center armrest console, complete with dual cupholders, separates a pair of high-back front bucket seats. A three-spoke tilt wheel sits before an offset gauge cluster featuring a large 90 mph speedometer, and corresponding ancillary gauges sitting mid-dashboard. HVAC controls consist of a series of push/pull and twist knobs, making it easy to keep your eyes focused out the upright fold-down windshield. A Boss AM/FM/AUX head unit also offers Bluetooth connectivity, powering a pair of under-dash speakers. A powder-coated expletive bar gives the front passenger something to grab onto when the road disappears, and their center of gravity begins to shift outside of their comfort zone.
Under the hood, we find a big 360 cubic-inch V-8 engine, which was rebuilt in May 2025. Featuring an MSD ignition, aluminum radiator, and a Rochester TBI electronic fuel injection setup mounted to an Edelbrock intake manifold, this big AMC motor has all the power and torque you need to go anywhere, anytime. A set of long tube headers feeds into a trick side-exit exhaust to give this truck a bit more power and sound than its enlisted forebears. That power is funneled through a Tremec T177 four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 300 transfer case, on its way to either the rear wheels or all four corners, giving this truck maximum traction.
