  • Why Doesn't Bestop TrailMax II Fixed # B3943715 Have Seat Belts
  • Seat belts bolt to the vehicle and not to the seats so the Bestop TrailMax II Fixed # B3943715 would fit your 1982 Jeep CJ-7 but since you would have to run the belts to the floor of your Jeep a version isn't available that has seat belts.

  • Replacement Soft-Top Roof And Doors With Hardware For A 1983 Jeep CJ-7
  • The only option we currently offer that includes doors and hardware for your 1983 Jeep CJ-7 would be the Bestop Tigertop for Jeep CJ-7 1976-1986 # B5140801. This top requires factory snaps built into the body to secure the top to, but also provides some to mount to the body if yours didn't come with any or if they're in need of replacement. This option only has one-piece doors though.

  • Will Curt 13412 Class III Hitch for 1985 Jeep CJ-5 Fit 1985 Jeep Scrambler CJ-8
  • None of our manufacturers list a fit for the 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, but I can provide you a photo showing the bolt hole spacing for the Curt # 13412 hitch for the 1985 CJ-5. You can compare those dimensions with the holes in the rear crossmember to see if the hitch would be compatible. The Curt # C13315 you'd looked at is a fit for a 2013-2018 Mazda CX-5, and wouldn't be a fit.

  • Which Soft Top Works for a 1983 CJ7?
  • Part # B5579915 works for your application. This product uses the channel system and is a confirmed fit for your 1983 CJ7. If you want to switch to an all black roof and half door, then part # B5179515 is the black top to your half door. From your picture it looks like you have a tan roof, if you're wanting to keep tan part # B5572937 is what you need. We do not offer the top of the doors in that color currently.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch 13412 Fit a 1982 Jeep CJ-7 with 20 Gallon Gas Tank
  • We have had this question come up before and have determined after talking to Curt, the manufacturer, that trailer hitch # 13412 will fit a 1982 Jeep CJ-7 with the optional 20 gallon gas tank.

It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip and a storage bag. For trailer wiring, if needed, you can use # 18252.

  • Dual Oil Filter Relocation Kit for a 1986 Jeep CJ-7 With a 258 cu in Motor
  • The Derale Dual Mount Oil Filter Relocation Kit, # D15749, should work with your 1986 Jeep CJ-7. This kit comes with multiple thread sizes and is designed to work with all of the most popular sizes. From my research it looks like your engine accepts 13/16-16 threads which is compatible with this kit. All of the thread sizes and o-ring diameters are listed on the product page. The filter that fits this kit will have to have 3/4-16 threads. You can use PH8A or equivalent filters with 3/4-16...

  • Fit & Compatibility of Bestop Low Back Bucket Seat B3942937 on 1977 Jeep CJ-7
  • On a 1977 Jeep CJ-7 that has the original seat riser the Bestop Low Back Bucket Seats # B3942937 (spice color) and # B3942901 (black) are direct fits. Only for certain later models years, 1997 through 2006, are adapters required to install these non-reclining bucket seats. We do not happen to have these two items in stock for me to measure their mounting hole spacing so I called Bestop. My contact there advised that the side-to-side dimension for the hole spacing is 15-1/16-inch. He did...

  • Hitch Bike Rack For Oversized Spare On 1980 Jeep CJ
  • With the wider spare tire you have, or any spare tire on the back of a Jeep, clearance is always a concern. With that being said the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Part # S64650, measures from the hitch pin hole to the edge of the wheel hoop closest to the vehicle right at 8". There is an option that offers more clearance, and I prefer the function of it better! The Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Part # HR200Z provides 12.5" from the hitch pin hole to the closest wheel hoop on the rack. The fold...

  • Tow Bar Recommendation for 1980 Jeep CJ-7
  • The best tow bar for your 1980 Jeep CJ-7 will first be one that is compatible with the base plate brackets you use. However, there are no brackets available from Blue Ox or Roadmaster, so you would need to use the Blue Ox Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit # BX88230 which will need to mount to a flat metal surface and before use normally require bumpers to be modified or reinforced. These brackets are only compatible with Blue Ox tow bars, and I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 due to...

  • How Far Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 13412 Stick Out On The 1985 Jeep CJ-7
  • The Curt Trailer hitch receiver part # 13412 sticks out about 6-1/2" from the cross member. You can use the hitch with an aftermarket bumper but all of the bumpers we carry already have hitch receivers integrated into them. When using an aftermarket bumper you would need to use the 7/16 x 2" bolt provided.

  • D-Ring Adapter for Aftermarket Bumper and Falcon 2 Tow Bar on Jeep CJ-7
  • Are you sure the D-rings on your bumper are 5/8" thick? I only ask because that is an uncommon size so you may just want to verify you have 5/8" as opposed to the more common 3/4" D-rings. If it turns out you do in fact have 3/4" thick D-rings then what you would need is the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035-1, which will work with your Falcon 2 # RM-520 tow bar.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for a 1985 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler
  • In order to determine if the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13412 will fit your 1985 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler you will need to measure the distance between the mounting holes in the rear crossmember. Unfortunately, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver has not yet been tested on your vehicle therefore measuring will be the only way to determine fit. If it is not a direct fit then your best option would be to modify slightly until the desired fit is achieved as they do not have any custom fit options...
