I am looking to restore my 1975 jeep renegade. Where is the
best place to find parts. How do I find information to my
jeep specifically. I know it was dark gray and I think the
renegade stripe use to be blue and orange. thanks all
Matt
Well, it depends... there are usually three different focus
areas.
1. I got parts from old CJs either from the salvage yard or
online at eBay or Craigslist. You can clean them up and
reuse a lot of the hard parts and panels.
2. For New Old Stock (NOS) parts Collins Brothers have
them.
3. For everything else (bearings, clutch, replacement or
accessory) check 4WD Hardware and Quadratec.
You may be able to get a Factory Service Manual (FSM) for
your Jeep... haven't looked.83 CJ7, 4.1L 6cyl (4.0L bored .030 over), 35" tires, 5 speed, dana 300 TC, Trussed AMC 20. Complete body rehab and linex. Phase I: frame off restore complete.
4WDH sells Temkin bearings which are very good bearings. So
I would check there for bearings if you can't find any at a
local parts store that aren't made in China. Look on local
Jeep forums as well as the paper for a donor vehicle.

I restored my 77 Cj-5. I'm now part owner in 4 wheel drive
and Quadratec, Ha! Ha! Also don't be afraid to use advance
auto and autozone and the likes for basic parts. They have
more than you think! Boneyards are also a good source but i
wanted all new parts for fuel, fire and air. (Key
ingrediants to make heap start and run well). I had never
done body work but now feel more comfortable with Bondo and
the likes. Good Luck!
