1986 JEEP CJ7

This 1986 Jeep CJ7 came to Black Wolf with a soft brake pedal. Upon inspection, we found that the brake fluid was low and contaminated with excess moisture. Additionally, the left rear wheel cylinder had been leaking and the rubber brake hoses were dry rotted.

Black Wolf restored the Jeep CJ7, getting it back to a reliable off-roading condition.
