Built for the Trail,
Bonded by the CJ

The Pacific Northwest CJ Club started with a couple of buddies and a couple of Jeeps hitting local car shows together. What began as weekend fun quickly turned into something bigger — a club for CJ-5, CJ-7, and CJ-8 Scrambler owners across the Pacific Northwest.

We're a small but growing group, already taking home awards at shows around the Seattle area. Whether you've got a concours Laredo, a trail-ready Renegade, or a rough-around-the-edges project, we want to see it.

We're building this club from the ground up and looking for CJ owners who want to be part of it — trail runs, tech days, car shows, and good times.

CJ-7 Laredo • Havana Metallic

Bruce's '80 Laredo took home Best In Class in 2025, and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. Full custom interior by Seatz Mfg out of Anaheim — matching seat upholstery, roll bar covers, sun visors, and saddle bags. Weber carb, and zero chance of seeing a dirt road anytime soon. This one stays pretty.

CJ-7 Renegade • Blue

Lifted with BFGoodrich Mud-Terrains, KC lights, and a 330hp V8 that's definitely not overkill for a Jeep this size. Oh, and a 2,300-watt RetroSound system with 9 speakers — because why hear the engine when you can hear the bass from three blocks away? The trails can wait — probably.

CJ-5 • Army Green

Joe showed up in this army green CJ-5 with a hi-lift jack and a look like it just rolled off a military surplus lot. We're not sure if it came with dog tags. Solid rig, solid guy — glad to have him in the club.

CJ-6 • Empire Blue

My CJ-6 Jeep has a V-6 engine with overdrive, headers and a Jacobs ignition system. We keep a soft top on it. It has a rack on the back that can carry two 5-gallon gas cans. I carry a high lift jack and vise on the front bumper. It has a pintle hook on the back for my trailer.
