Welcome to another edition of Jeep Fact Friday!
This week we’re going to focus on one of the more popular and sought after trim packages available on the CJ-5 and CJ-7: The Levi’s trim package. This trim package was commonly featured with the Renegade package and gave them the accents and features that made them different than a regular CJ.
Jeep began offering the Levi’s edition on the CJ-5 platform in 1975 and the CJ-7 in 1976 and continued offering them until 1979. Featured in the Levi’s edition CJ’s were front & rear denim seats in tan or blue with copper rivets and buttons seen on any pair of Levi’s jeans. To continue the theme and tie the interior style together the dash pad and sun visors were color-matched to the seats. The exterior styling featured a red Levi’s decal on either side of the cab just above the Jeep logo and a vinyl soft top that matched the color of the seats, dash pad, and sun visors.
At this year’s Easter Jeep Safari we had the privilege of wheeling with a light blue 1976 CJ-7 Levi’s edition with some off-road modifications. This CJ featured a tan wheels wrapped with Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar tires, a tan soft top, and the original blue denim seats (seen below). It was a blast watching it crawl up every obstacle it attempted!
Let us know if you’ve seen a Jeep with this (or any other) limited edition trim package.
