    It is not a Wrangler, those didn't start till 1987 with the YJ. Either a CJ5 or a CJ6( short wheelbase=5 long wheelbase=6) Whether it is a Renegade or not that we need pics or you can look in the Jeep spotters guide on the homepage for how to indentify a Renegade.

    Can you tell by the vin # ? I also have that v6 emblem on the side but no stickers on the hood or anything. I just don't wanna put renegade on the side and find out its not.

    I've seen this pic and it does look like that but just not as good of shape. I have the roll bar and tailgate but no side steps or spare tire, back seat gone but i keep seeing these v6 emblems everywhere and those are on both sides . I also do not have marker light in the fender just re-flecters on the hood. This could also be due to the guy i got it from he used it for hunting. Mine did not come with a blonde either....lol

    If you click the "Technical" button at the top of the page, there are a lot of articles that will fill in much of the general information you seek. An article on the Renegade is the first on that page.

    by 1970 a lot of Jeeps were coming with v6s, and although the Renegadr had a v6, a v6 does not make it a Renegade.

    Early '70 models still had the hood reflectors, late '70 had the fender mounted markers. V6 emblems on all CJ5's with V6, not just Renegades. Tailgates on all 1970 model CJ5's. Rollbar was a common add on. The tech document Tim refered you to shows what was in the Renegade package, but most parts were available as options on non-Renegade models also.

    So having 2 or 3 things from the pic of the three renegades doesn't make it a renegade due to options from dealer than i guess my next stupid question would have to be if i put any old renegade sticker pack on the hood would i be shunned like hanging ss chevy badges on lets say a nova that was not a true ss car making it a clone or would nobody really give two big sh!ts ?

    hey, it is a jeep, put on the stickers. I run "Limited Baja Edtion" stickers on my jeeps and am amazed how many people tell me they had one of those once

    None of that to me says Renegade I.

    All those are quite normal and common.

    If you have the gauges AND the wiring harness differences then that's a different matter entirely. Otherwise, it just sounds to me like it's a V6 CJ-5.
