The record

The Laredo replaced the Golden Eagle at the top of the range and was the last CJ-7 trim, still on sale when the Wrangler YJ arrived for 1987. Chrome bumpers, grille surround and wheels, a padded roll bar, Trac-Lok and a leather-wrapped wheel were the package; the 258 six was standard.

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.
