Description:

Myself and my partner that restored this jeep are true jeep enthusiasts, we due this for the love of the jeeps. Although this is not true 100% number matching restoration. We kept true to the 1977 Renegade that it is. With our combined 40 years experience breaking fixing wheeling jeeps, we were very miticulious in what modifications that were made to this rare classic. Some of the modifications include upgraded ignition and charging system for reliability. One piece axle shafts in the rear axle. Using wrangler tub (so no chance of rusting in the near future) installing roll forward rear seat, this makes the rear of the jeep more accessible for storage. (Carrying cooler and gear) all stainless bolts used throughout the body and interior. Every piece and part of this jeep has been refurbished, replaced or rebuilt. Complete frame off restoration.

Tub is completely rust free. Was donated from a 1993 wrangler. So the tub has been galvanized from the factory, should last many years with out rusting. Tailgate is hinged to swing out for better access into the rear of the jeep. All body panels were prepped and painted individually while apart from the jeep.

Stainless hardware was used to assemble all the body panels.

Frame
Frame is original to the jeep. It has been cleaned and refinished. It was rust free and didn't have any of the usual cracks at the rear spring hangers, or by the steering box. New poly 16 gallon factory style gas tank, which new skid plate.
This jeep is new. But don't be fooled, although everything is restored, it's still a 1977 cj7. It rides like 70's cj. And stops like one also.
Everything feels solid and tight while going down the road. Engine runs and sounds great. Has great power, as a v8 should in a jeep. No rattles or noises. Tranny shift just like the t18 should, clutch is tight. Brakes work just like manual 70's cj brakes should (pump them)
All in all if you want to know what it was like to drive a new 1977 renegade of the dealers lot, this is the jeep for you!
