This 1981 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo is finished in Olympic White over a cinnamon interior and powered by a 304ci AMC V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and 2-speed 4WD transfer case.
The original 304ci AMC V8 was swapped for a remanufactured unit topped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Performer hi-rise intake manifold, while exhaust is through stainless tubular headers.
The flywheel was resurfaced and a new clutch installed for the GM 4-speed transmission, which sends power through a Dana 300 transfer case.
A power steering system and power brakes are equipped.
The refinished frame was mated to the body with new mounts.
Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axles are equipped with 3.73:1 gear ratios.
The body was removed and media blasted, and rust repairs to the floor pans, inner fenders, and tail panel.
The frame and body were coated in epoxy primer, and the latter was repainted in original Olympic White.
A new front grille, window trim, and stainless hinges were sourced as well as replacement fender flares.
The lifted suspension includes new leaf springs on MORE shackles and Bilstein shocks.
Polished aluminum 15” American Racing Outlaw wheels wear 33″x12.5″ BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A tires.
The removable hardtop and door caps are finished to complement the interior scheme.
The refinished interior is trimmed in 2-tone cinnamon vinyl with NOS high-back front seats and a reupholstered rear bench, full-length carpeting, and a roll bar wrapped in matching vinyl.
Additions include an under-dash air conditioning unit and a center console.
Dash gauges were replaced with OEM components where necessary, and a new aftermarket speedometer includes a digital odometer showing 258 miles since the completion of work.
