CJ-5 vs CJ-7?? What's the dif??
Hello,
Got some "don't know jack about Jeep " questions.
Trying to find an old mechanically sound jeep for the farm. Man has an '83
CJ-7 with shot body and decent running gear. Wants about $1500 for it.
Sound reasonable with no top ,doors or spare?
Also, what is the difference between the 5 and the 7??
Thanks for the help.

Re: CJ-5 vs CJ-7?? What's the dif??
One addition,
I may have been a little too generic with the comparison. CJ-5s were
produced a lot longer than the 7, so there are more iterations of it. The
pre-1976 models of the CJ-5 can be a good bit different. Most similarities
between the 5 and 7 are in the 1978 to early 1980s models.

Re: CJ-5 vs CJ-7?? What's the dif??
My '81 CJ5 also had an optional fiberglass top and full doors. My doors and
also fiberglass, and only work when the top is installed. But, I am not sure
this level of detail is needed to answer the original poster's question.
