1976 Jeep CJ7 Renegade Full Walk Around

In this video I showcase my 1976 Jeep CJ7 Renegade. I purchased this Jeep in March of 2016 and it has become my favorite Jeep that I have owned. I have a lot of sentimental attachment to this jeep as I did most of the work of building this Jeep myself. I go over the specifications in the video but if I missed something you'd like to know more about, please leave a comment below. Thank you for watching and keep it classic!

I love your Jeep

[@FreddieWrenn-pg2tl]

Great looking, Jeep.I like how you have kept it classic.

[@civilianjeeps]

Thank you!

I currently have a Tj but have really been wanting a Cj7 or a Yj. I love the look and feel of them. Sharp Cj man.

[@civilianjeeps]

Thanks man. I would go for the CJ. I love YJs but the older feel of the CJ is where it’s at. Plus it’s neat to have a CJ and the younger generation the TJ. Makes for a nice Jeep collection.

I appreciate all of your jeeps

[@civilianjeeps]

Great video as always. I need to do a walk around as well before i really get in the weeds. Always cool to see the history of upgrades.

[@civilianjeeps]

Thanks! A walk around is always cool. It’s nice to see the stepping stones over time in a video. I wish I would have started TH-cam earlier and documented this build. I went full force on it for about 2 years while in college. I wish I would have taken more pictures back then as well. It was a wreck and would have been nice to see my progress from then till now.

Beautiful build! I was considering that color for my CJ 7, but I think ive decided on the factory firecracker red. Im currently restoring my fathers 1977 CJ 7 with a 360. New steel tub and frame, basically a brand new cj7. Still deciding on highbacks or lowbacks, love to hear your input.

[@civilianjeeps]

I’ve had both. It originally had high backs when I purchased it. High backs are definitely more comfortable when taking a long trip. Also they are safer if you were to be in an accident. If you have anything other than a lap belt I would for sure go high backs. However the low backs in early model CJ7s just feel right. I get a lot of compliments on the seats and they are nothing special. Just cheap bestop low backs.
I would do low backs. A 77 with the fender mounted roll bar would look nice with low backs.

Awesome Jeep . Did you mention that you put a Wrangler windshield frame on ? I noticed that, a nice upgrade in itself. Oh, I think I sent you pics of my CJ that you want to do a video on , sent via IG . Maybe it sent , IDK let me know if it didn’t and I’ll resend . We need to have a CJ camp out with our overland trailers . I’m ready to hit the trails.

[@civilianjeeps]

Hey! I actually posted it to the Civilian Jeeps page a few days. I just now put 2 and 2 together when I seen your name pop up. I had forgotten that you were sending it over. I do want to do a video on it though! It’s a beautiful Renegade and the teardrop is crazy nice! My overland trailer is currently in a wiring mess right now. I’m installing a new 200 watt panel on the tent and doing a dual battery setup. I should have all that done soon though.
Oh and the windshield is still the factory CJ windshield. A YJ windshield would be nice for the family rollbar mounts and defrost ducts though. Maybe I’ll switch it over one day whenever I put a steel tub back on.
