The record

The Laredo replaced the Golden Eagle at the top of the CJ range in 1980: chrome bumpers, grille surround and wheels, a Trac-Lok differential, a padded roll bar and pinstriping. On the CJ-5 it lasted until 1983, and it continued on the CJ-7 and Scrambler to 1986.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
