1979 Jeep CJ7 TH400 Automatic 258 I6 Quadratrac Amc 20 rear & Dana 30 front, 32 x 11.5 x 15 tires. Currently a Complete Custom Rebuild in progress.

Also I own a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, White, all stock with 4.0L. automatic, and police package. Best part of that is it came with leather seats! This package also has the NP242 Transfer Case, 8.25 rear end, and trailer towing package.
It is raining here in South Central Texas..:(..All Day yesterday and today. So not much to do but play around with the computer. Here are some drawings of a CJ7 with different color tops. My original color for the body is blue. These 4 drawings show a blue Jeep with different color tops. What one do you like? :confused:

The wife likes a Black top, :poke: I lean towards White to help reflect some of the heat down here. :drool:

Then when the devil takes over, :censored: I can't help but want a cammoflaged Jeep! :dbanana:

What color are the seats and interior. If black, then I would go black or white. But black would be my personal choice. I would only go with tan if it matched the interior. Good luck.

I'm fond of factory coloring, but that's me.

Do you run topless or soft top in the summer? If so, I'd prefer black in the winter.

If you're running a hard top in all seasons, I agree with you: White to reflect some sunshine.

The tan ain't even a consideration to me. All the rest of the choices, except maybe the desert tan, won't shed heat for ya in the summer like the white does. If sheddin' the heat is the factor to consider, I'm narrowed down to white and desert tan camo (if you do the camo thing all over).

The black looks the best. The dark blue doesn't look bad either, but I doubt you'll get the top and Jeep to match as good as the example. The white would probably grow on me, but I'd definitely have to tint the windows!

Once a day.

Seats are Black, rest of the interior blue. Rod

Don't have a soft top yet. Thinking about A/C since it will be a DD. With A/C I'd leave the hard top on, without it has to come off.

PS: The current hard top is tan, don't know if that is original or not. Rod
 
I vote for white. I like it the best.
 
For me, white is also best...
Just dug out a press picture I bought some time ago:


That's the same one. And you thought I actually drew it! :laugh: Rod
 
Was white for a hard top a factory option? I've only ever seen Brown/Tan and Black oem. I know I had a white soft top on my 76 CJ5 back in the day. Rod
 
Thanks for the info. Now I'll have to do some research for the difference between brown and tan. Always thought there was just tan. :rolleyes: Rod

That is nice! :D Wonder what shade of blue that is? Rod
 
I'd show you that same Jeep (the Renegade ) with a white hardtop in a real pic but this site won't allow me to post pics from other sites. But I prefer the white too.... so I bought it!
