Well here's something that combines a number of our passions here at Lucore Automotive, Jeeps, a lift kit, suspension nightmares AND an AMC 304 V8 all in one package! One of our new customers brought us this classic very clean AMC CJ-7 for some much needed sorting out and we are more than happy to tag in to assist.
So what do we have we are fighting? Well as you'll see someone in a previous ownership has maybe used this Jeep for a bit more off road driving than the current owners are interested in. With that said though there's also some improperly set up components that made this little 4x4 Jeep a total nightmare to drive, the suspension travel was terrible, steering was terrible, stability was terrible... just generally it needed a LOT of help.
As with a lot of projects and vehicles that have gone through a few sets of hands part of OUR jobs are often times undoing or at least identifying what's been done and what a viable solution is. Just ordering and hanging parts doesn't do you any good if you don't know a baseline to work from, in addition to the fact that a LOT of parts are just straight up hard to get or impossible to get right now. At the end of the day, Rich kept after it one bite at a time to get it right and the little V8 Jeep is in MUCH better shape than it was when it showed up.
Of course there's more that we could do to improve this one, just as there is with almost everything we see, but the goal is to make it better every time you see it and we've certainly done that. This one we'll certainly call a win and happily hand it back to our customer knowing their ride is WAY better than it was when it showed up!
