Jeep CJ7 Restoration Part 15: She Lives / First Test Drive

After 6 years the journey is almost complete. We finished installing the Painless Performance wiring, and the Mopar MPI kit. Today, we break in the 4.6 Stroker and go for the inaugural test drive.

Nice startup! My Scrambler took 6 years to build as well and it was a great day to drive her for the first time back in 2017.

Right on

Glad to see the painless didn't give you too many problems. I can't wait to get back in mine and let the AMC 360 sing. Just got to finish rewiring, figure out my steering column, and finish my dash and I am good to go....i hope.

[@superb60ce]

Yeah, the Painless just means less pain

Hey Russell. What are the specs for the wheels and tires? 15 x 8.5? Backspacing? Offset? Tires? 32" x 10.5? Also you mentioned in a vid an adapter for the spare tire hanger? What did you do for that?

[@superb60ce]

Tires are 32 x 11.5 Wheels www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NBK59VQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Spare adapter www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XG3PEA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hey Russell. Still looking for wheels and tires for my 79 CJ7. Wanted to ask if those are the oem fender flares and how your tires with the -12mm offset look. Do they poke out or do they sit under the flares? Hard to see on yours.

[@superb60ce]

@@celticcraps The flares are oem replica, and the tires just tuck under (tread) the flares

[@celticcraps]

@superb60ce that's what I thought. Having a tough time finding options with the 4" BS and -12mm offset. Don't know if another variation of BS and offset would give me the same look. I believe the oem wheels are 3.75 BS but I'm not sure if they had an offset. I thunk they were probably 0 offset. I just don't know what options I can get away with and what would look right with the BDS lift. Gets to be a pita trying to figure it out.
