1978 Jeep CJ5

Description

The 1978 Jeep CJ5 is a true go-anywhere 4x4. But as you see the impressive stereo system and see that the suspension life also means polished 20-inch wheels, then you start to see this one was also customized to conquer the urban jungle.

This CJ uses chrome to show off its style and substance. Up front you not only have the highly recognizable polished grille but also the upgraded polished bumper with brush guard and spotlights to put a bright face forward. The polished presentation continues along the sides where accessories like polished mirror mounts join functional upgrades like the side exhaust and side steps. And while those 20-inch wheels look like pure bling, they are actually from the adventure masters at Dick Cepek. The rear shows off more useful polished pieces, like the tow hitch, tail lights, and full-size spare. And even with all the modern style, this makes sure to give you the classic Reengage flared fenders. Plus, the Renegade decal package goes well with the black paint. And speaking of the finish, it has a nice gloss to go well with the polished pieces, but we're happy to see it never gets too fancy to make you hesitate using this as a real off-road Jeep. And that's the heart of the full appeal here. You have a cool upgraded machine that never loses the heart of an adventure-ready 4x4.

The interior gives you the Jeep basics you want, like high-back front bucket seats, a roll bar with shoulder seatbelts mounts, and durable yet comfortable vinyl upholstery. There are even some useful extras like a bikini top, rugged rubber floor mats, a Grant steering wheel, and a CB radio. But what's really going to catch your eye (and everyone else's ears) is the full custom stereo system. It starts with an AM/FM/CD head unit with USB and Bluetooth. And the cup holder center console, rear side, and more are custom molded pieces that carry plenty of speakers. And with everything from amplifiers to integrated TV screens (some may need servicing,) this custom CJ doesn't arrive at parties, because it is the party!

Under the hood is the 258 cubic-inch inline-six motor. It's a long-established powerplant for Jeep that has a robust nature, and so you have a hardy powerplant that's also easy to tinker with for maintenance and power. There's a nice rumble from the side pipes any time you feel like letting these sing instead of the stereo, and the three-speed manual transmission puts you in control of it all. When the pavement ends, the two-speed 4x4 transfer case and Super Swamper tires keep you moving. Plus, power steering and front disc brakes are welcomed no matter if you're on the tail or on your way to a cruise-in.

This is a unique CJ with a value price and the 4x4 fundamentals in place. So it makes for a cool way to enjoy some time on or off-road. Call today!!!
