- CJ7 Brake Booster Kit: amzn.to/3WhcDtW
Its finally time to get the Jeep CJ7 on the road for its first official test drive!!
Before we hit the road, the brake system needed some major attention, so we decided to go ahead and swap in an upgraded brake booster and master cylinder for some better stopping performance. While this wasnt a plug and play upgrade, a few modifications made the install fairly simple.
After that was wrapped up, it was time to pull the doors and top off, give it a quick clean up, and take it down the road topless for the first time!

Thanks for watching 😁Let me know what you want to see next on this build!
Spring over?
@@JeepGearGadgets something tame but capable. CJ’s are so classic and fun. So many got chopped up to be a crawler.
The name of this Jeep should be ONE MORE THING!
That could be the name of pretty much all of them
@@danaboatman954 going on year 6 of “just one more thing”
@@adambomb5000 I hear ya. LOL
That’s every Jeep 😂😂
J.ust E.mpty E.very P.ocket.
Cold hard facts! 💯🤦🏻♂️😂
Great video! The Jeep is coming along great! Favorite part at 2:05 doggo chewing on a nut! 😂
I just subscribed to your channel because I just pulled a 1984 CJ-7 Laredo out of a grass field. Hard top with factory AC and 66,000 miles on it. I got it from a friend. It was just setting in the grass for years. He decided it was time for it to go. I could turn the motor by hand. It's going to be my next fun project. It's also a Flintstone jeep that is covered up with wire mesh and carpet. Outside of the floorboards it's not too bad. I don't like the rust on the frame, but we will see how bad it is this fall when I start working on it. I haven't done anything to it yet. My knee replacement three months ago kind of slowed me down some. My 2006 Jeep Liberty is done and a great everyday driver. The 2014 Jeep JKUX is almost ready for camping. I'm only 65 years old so It's time to start another project. 😄
This is my favorite build. I am finishing a CJ7 restomod so it’s fun to see someone else work on one.
I'm hoping to find and buy my first Jeep ever...wanting a CJ7.....
Watching this for inspiration....
@@chilecayenne CJ7s are the best! I have an 1985.
Brings back great memories I've had one CJ-7 an 85 completely went through everything then decided to put in a sb Chevy.. Man thats still is one of my favorite Jeeps. Love your videos thanx!!
Awesome video. Just picked my CJ7 up yesterday. That’s how you wash a CJ. Lol
The CJs are my favorite! I have an 85 CJ8 that’s a joy to drive👍🏼
I have a 85 CJ7. I’d like to find a Scrambler eventually.
When are we going to see a lift kit install on this beauty?
Am glad to see you active again on CZcams.. keep the vids coming.
I love the power washing of the interior, only in a Jeep!
I can hear the childhood trauma come out every time bleeding breaks is mentioned 😂
Every jeep , just one more thing.
Love them old jeeps
New subscriber here. Loving the build so far! Can’t wait to see what else you do to it.
Love that CJ whine going down the road! Can’t wait to see what this one comes out looking like!
My high school car was a 78 CJ7 with so much more rust than this one. Still had a blast in that thing with the manual trans. Miss it
Also I did the nutter bypass on my jeep. The stater motor was the problem in the carb. That will fix your stalling issue. Only problem is smog depending on your area.
Recommend changing the Carter BBD out for a Motorcraft 2100/2150 or fuel injection if funds allow. I did a 2100 on my ‘83 CJ and it’s a totally different Jeep.
Hey Cassie, they say a Jeep will name itself. The CJ has chosen "One More Thing" OIIIIIIIO
I think I just watched your puppy eat a lugnut in this video 🤣. Great video as always!
Bayou Billy approves of this Jeep...
Your going to where the starter out. Pop the clutch to make her run, that brings back childhood memories for me.
The best part about a Jeep is being able to hose off the inside
Nothing like your CJ7, I have a cj8 scrambler I just love those body styles too
Loved the car wash, l remember doing that to my CJs,
Great video !
Ohhhh, the Jeep is topless, my bad.... LOL
Make sure to change out the soft lines, they are probably dry rotted
Looking great. Fun project Jeep.
The best no top windshield down!!
We don't need no stinkin' key 😂 Good video!!
Came for the tank top
You make it look so easy, almost makes me want to get an old CJ or YJ as a daily 😂
I do think a fuel injected YJ would make a fantastic and cheap DD!
Your cal looks awesome 👌 I love ❤️ my doors off and top too. .
My brake booster upgrade did it include that nylon bushing for the brake pedal assembly. So I have some slop there obviously.
In the next video, I want to see Ben fix the ceiling above the hoist, then insulate it and put in air conditioning and heat while he’s at it
I’m surprised that out of all the gadgets you have in your shop, you don’t have a pressure washer? Jeep is looking good though! When is the lift kit coming?😊
The video you took is fantastic! Do you accept sponsor products?🥰
I got the same engine you guys have mine just stalls once in while mine was putting bigger carb on it like the webber that should cure problem
Watching y'all's dog trying to eat a nut at the 2:11 mark & spits it out.
Nice work
❤ the first kiss 💋 of this show.. keep up the program and i will sub to your channel.
Hey Ben 👋
You should look into putting a holly terminator EFI on it
Looks like a 70s Corvette master cyl. and maybe the kit supplied a GM spec. Master is why the fittings were reversed? I don't know for sure because haven't put my hands on one in many years. Waiting to see if you have outer rear axle seals leaking gear oil at some point.
Maybe one more thing should be the jeeps name
😂
Hey guys nice CJ. Looks just like mine. Can you give me any info for the center console with the subwoofer in it? Thank you.
I wish i knew! It was already in the jeep when we got it
Hello, it’s called an IntraPod sold by Quadratec. Select Increments Intra-Pod Console with Audio Components for 76-95 Jeep CJ-7, CJ-8 Scrambler & Wrangler YJ
Curious why you replaced a factory power break setup with the aftermarket one? Instead of replacing the MC as they are usually very cheap and readily available. I usually go out of my way to use/acquire a factory setup when possible.
Figured moving to a bigger dual diaphragm booster and a larger master was worth it
👍
A lot of people switch ver to fuel injection on these old jeeps.
What happened to the bronco
Idle jet is plugged
Fuel pump replacement.
Have already replaced it twice haha
Carburetor kit and dip.😀
@@JeepGearGadgets Try replacing the Carburetor. I found a cheap Chinese one for under $100 from Maxspeedindrods or something like that back in 2021. I’ve driven daily in my 1985 CJ7 since in outdoor temps ranging from 100 to -10.
Not exactly the topless drive I thought this was gonna be. Please don’t hate me
