Willys-Overland, makers of the original World War II military Jeep knew that with the War ending, they’d have to turn to civilian vehicles. Hence the arrival of the Jeep CJ series in 1944. The series progressed from CJ-1 to CJ-10A, in a production run that spanned 1944 and 1986, and by the time the Jeep CJ was replaced by the Wrangler, Jeep had built over 1.5 million examples. Hence, finding a Jeep CJ isn’t hard, but you’d better pick a fully-restored example, such as this 1966 Jeep CJ-5. The current owner says that the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt, with the engine packing less than 200 miles since then. Impressively, this car is entirely brand new! So, it’s basically a turn-key classic that’s waiting for a new owner.
This 1966 Jeep CJ-5 presents its purposeful and unmistakable silhouette in a suit of mid blue. Meanwhile, it’s got a new set of white wheels with new tires, and includes all those classic Jeep cues, such as the circular headlamps flanking a seven-bar grille, a short wheelbase with minimal overhangs, and an open-topped design. Accessing the interior of this 1966 Jeep CJ-5 is superbly easy because you can either open a door and step in, or just jump over the doors, or via the rear. Once you’re there, you’ll find black leather-upholstered seats and a minimalistic dashboard. A single dial communicates speed, engine coolant temperature and fuel level. You’ve also got levers for the manual gear shifter, as well as the transfer case. Behind the two seats is a fairly spacious cargo area that can also carry a couple of people in a pinch, although we’re not sure how legal that would be since there aren’t any seats here. If you plan to do this, installing some seats would be a good idea.
This 1966 Jeep CJ-5 gets its go-factor from a thrifty and dependable 225ci Dauntless V6 that is actually a Buick design. Power is sent to the wheels via a 3-speed manual transmission and transfer case. We’re also told that the brakes are new, ensuring that this 1966 Jeep CJ-5 stops as well as it goes.

Jeep’s Wrangler can owe its lineage to the Jeep CJ. Introduced in 1944, the CJ or Civilian Jeep was the result of Willys-Overland recognizing that with the War ending, they needed a civilian-focused product to continue with. Interestingly, the CJ variants are built tougher than their military counterparts, because Jeep knew that civilian users would use the vehicles for agricultural and commercial purposes, and use them hard. So, they had to last years, rather than the mere months or even weeks that a military Jeep could last before needing repair or replacement. As time passed by, the CJ series went through many iterations, until the CJ-10A which came in 1984 and bowed out by 1986. Today’s example of a fine CJ is this 1976 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade Levi’s Edition from Tallahassee, Florida. The vehicle has received some restoration and renewal, including a new Chevy small-block V8 with under 5,000 miles on it. Let us tell you why you should seriously consider acquiring this distinctive and quirky off-roader.

As early as 1944, when World War II was reaching its tail end, the Willys-Overland Corporation started previewing a civilian version of the military Jeep. The civilian version would be nearly identical to the military one, with body-on-frame construction, rigid live axles, leaf springs, and part-time four-wheel drive. Called the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, over 1.5 million were sold until 1986 when the Wrangler took over. This 1976 Jeep CJ-5 is one proud member of that massive family and is up for sale with a mere 15,000 miles under its belt. So, if you want to own and drive a classic American hero, here’s your chance to pick one up.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee was introduced in 1992, as the successor to the Cherokee. It was the first Jeep to emerge after Chrysler took over this iconic American off-road manufacturer, and has sold exceptionally well. The Grand Cherokee is known for its blend of off-road ability, tough capability, family friendliness and array of luxury features. Today, we’ve got a fourth-generation 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT that comes with all that, plus a brawny V8 under the hood. This 51,500-mile machine resides in Des Peres, Missouri, and includes the Trailer Tow Group IV, High Performance Audio and so much more. If you’re on the hunt for a proper family off-roader that doesn’t compromise on-road comfort and luxury, this vehicle is an ideal candidate.
After making the transition to building civilian versions of their famed military off-roaders, Jeep quickly became a byword for stylish, practical, and dependable transport that could do anything and go virtually anywhere. One look at our 1978 Jeep CJ-7 and you’ll see its war-winning roots. At the same time, it continues to bear a resemblance to a brand that continues to mobilise many off-roading enthusiasts. Now with an upgraded 304ci AMC V8 engine under the hood and additional functional and stylistic modifications, this Jeep CJ-7 is looking for a new home. It could be the deal of the year, with the owner reporting to have fully restored this Jeep with over $13,000 worth of upgrades.
The Jeep Gladiator is a pickup truck by Jeep. On sale since 2019, it combines the off-road abilities, removable doors, and roof of the Jeep Wrangler with a five-foot cargo bed out back. This places it in the midsize pickup truck category, but few trucks can head straight from the factory to the forest in the manner that a Gladiator can. That being said, there’s always room for upgrade and enhancement. That’s why a company called Apocalypse has cooked up this thing, proudly named the 2025 Jeep Gladiator 6X6 Hellfire Apocalypse. As you can see from our photos, it takes a Gladiator and dials it up, not to 11 but more likely to 100! Now, you can be the proud owner of this 100-mile truck that will turn heads like nothing else as you cruise along in it.
The Toyota Land Cruiser: It’s one of the top off-roaders in the world, with a rich history dating back to 1951, making it Toyota’s longest-running nameplate. For many, a Land Cruiser is the best four-by-four, full stop. Others have made similar vehicles and continue to do so, but few can touch a properly driven and purposefully upgraded Land Cruiser in the truly rough stuff of the wilderness. Plus, the Land Cruiser has a distinctive reputation for reliability that few of its rivals can even come close to. There’s a popular saying “others may take you there but a Land Cruiser will bring you home”. So, if you’re a Land Cruiser aficionado or just looking to buy a weekend off-roader, check out this 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Restomod from Dania Beach, Florida. With a full restoration under its belt, this timeless machine has reportedly done just 185 miles since then, and packs some neat modern features too.
