Jeep Wrangler CJ7 rebuild PT1 1982 , Charging, power drain fix rust bucket
1982 Jeep Wrangler CJ7 rebuild, Charging, power drain.
Picked up this 82 Jeep Wrangler CJ7 project. She is pretty rusty but the frame is in decent shape, worthy of a quick rebuild, not full off frame resto, custom new diamond plate floors, body panels and paint should be good. Runs great mechanically, needs brake work and calipers, probably U-joints of course.
This 82 CJ7 Wrangler came with the AMC 258ci inline 6 with 115hp @ 3200 rpm and 210 ftlb tq at 1800 rpm. with a GM TH400 (turbo 400) 3 speed automatic transmission, a Dana 300 transfer case, Dana 30 front axle,AMC 20 rear axle and the factory Hardtop.
I am undecided on whether I should remove the plow setup and sell it. I have 3 other vehicles with plows. I can probably get a few bucks for it to put into the Jeep.
Fun information:
The CJ7 weighs 2,707 lbs
Length: 148” Width:68.5” Height:67.7
the CJ7 is 10” longer than the CJ5, they did this for better drivetrain options
82 is the first year with the wider axles.
81 was the last year of the V8 option.
CJ7 was the first Wranglers to have factory Hard Top and doors available from factory.
76 CJ marked the first of the boxed framed Wrangler.
CJ7 had a Laredo and Jamboree package available.
All CJ7's use a Dana 30 front axle.
Most CJ7's have the AMC 20 rear axle, but some have the Dana 44
