Black Mamba: The 1984 Jeep CJ7 Restomod

[@ssarkees]

Beautiful build. Perfect hight and style.

Beautiful!

[@HenryThe2ndAnimator]

This is like the perfect Jeep ever!!

[@RobertDePyssler]

I wish I'd known about this before I bought the Jeep I have. I like my TJ, but I originally wanted a CJ7. I've had a Commando, a CJ2A, a CJ 5 , a YJ, a CJ7, and now this TJ. I loved the 2A, and the CJ5, but the CJ7 was the perfect all around Jeep. I Know I'll catch hell with the owners who follow the KZbin influencers and claim only the new Jeep are worthy, but I like leaf springs. They claim they can go on the Rubicon and Moab, but when I bring up videos showing old Flat Fenders crawling all over both they finally shut up. All I can say is that thing is beautiful and it sounds amazing.

[@chickencreekcustoms8974]

I too had a CJ2A - one of my all-time favorite off road vehicles. Dang, I miss that ride. I do like the TJ, however. I feel it was a really good balance of on- /off- road performance. Not as good off road as the CJ, and not as good on-road as the newer, wider Jeeps, but still a great balance of size and capabilities. I drove a TJ Unlimited (LJ) for 10 years.

Best car ever.

[@BogusJNutherwebb]

That is the way they should still be today. Personally I like leaf spring in comparison to coil. Just me.

[@robchesley4591]

Ya I miss the attitude of old cj leaf setups. I think it's because you can feel what's going on better.

[@RobertDePyssler]

Me too. I like leafs better but the angry eyed, rubber duckie lovers claim if it's not long arms with King or Fox shocks with hydro assist steering it ain't good off road. On any given day it's not uncommon to see a bunch of 70 year old Flat Fender Willys Jeeps crawling all over the Rubicon, Moab and other places around the Country. And, they have more class doing it. These new Jeep owners have no idea what a stock Jeep is capable of, because they are so gullible and believe everything the KZbin influencers tell them. It is 70-30 in my book. 70% driver and 30% vehicle.

[@BogusJNutherwebb]

I had a V8 304, 3 sp. manual.. 1977

[@chickencreekcustoms8974]

The CJ5, yeah, that was a great vehicle. Super fun off road!

[@rarebreed6703]

I was wondering how much u sold it for and I'm looking for someone to build me a restomod jeep.

[@chickencreekcustoms8974]

This jeep - as specialized as it was- went for a little over 40K. You can go Non-AMC engine, throw in an aftermarket rear end, etc. and probably get the cost down. The key would be to get one that needs little to no work on the frame and body. Reworking frames, and extensive bodywork really eat through budgets.

[@Cadcom67]

What lift does it have?

[@chickencreekcustoms8974]

Natural arc, 2-inch leaf springs and 2-inch body lift. This gives you the best of both worlds. You don't have to retool steering and hoses if the body doesn't exceed 2 inches, and you get the natural lift with a set of springs arched for an additional 2 inches.

[@GregoryStoller]

Exhaust. Who makes the Zoomys ?

[@chickencreekcustoms8974]

If you search "side pipes" you'll find a range of options. They were popular on the Corvette Stingrays and hot rods, years ago.

[@johndean7915]

What gear ratio was in it?

[@chickencreekcustoms8974]

this set up was 3:73, I believe.

[@ws56c62]

Where did u buy seat covers? Thank you

[@chickencreekcustoms8974]

I can't recall. I think seatcoversunlimited, but do a google search and you'll find a couple. But, as I noted, they need to be cut apart and sewn properly to get the bottom and corner fit you want.

Nessun problema. Se ti piacciono le Jeep, è una specie di linguaggio universale. Community Verified icon
