The Jeep CJ-5 is one of the original WW2 Willys Jeeps’ closest relatives. It takes the philosophy of simple, go anywhere do anything transport, and helped set the trend for every generation of the Wrangler that followed. Our featured 1974 Jeep CJ-5 is an excellent specimen, with a 350ci V8 engine powering it, and a three-speed manual transmission offering plenty of muscle for the old-school Jeep’s iconic platform.
This 1974 Jeep CJ-5 manages to look unassuming enough to the untrained eye, but it packs a punch with some choice upgrades, while retaining its usable modern classic status in the automotive community. You’ll notice chrome wheels wrapped in chunky Maxxis mud terrain tires. The short wheelbase and bikini top give the CJ-5 an aggressive stance, maintaining the link to those bare-bones military troop carriers, while giving a modicum of protection from the elements. Inside, you’ll find a black-trimmed cabin with a four-spoke steering wheel and large centrally-mounted speedometer. The interior is minimalistic but true to the CJ-5’s spirit, designed for easy use whether on- or off-road.
Powering this Jeep is a 350ci V8 fitted with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, delivering far more muscle than the CJ-5 originally offered. The engine is paired with a three-speed manual transmission, adding to the driving involvement. With four-wheel drive, this CJ-5 stays true to its off-road roots, ensuring capability across a variety of terrains.
Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
If you want to experience a true-blue off-roader with minimal fripperies and no-nonsense capabilities, try a Jeep CJ. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep, and that’s precisely what Willys-Overland had in mind in the mid-1940s. World War II was coming to a close and orders for military Jeeps would soon dry up. So, they turned their attention to the civilian world, specifically the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The result was the CJ series, which would keep going until 1986. Know what replaced the CJ? The Wrangler! Yes, the Jeep CJ lives in spirit to this day, and you can celebrate that fine legacy by purchasing this 1967 Jeep CJ-5 from Loveland, Colorado. It’s got only under 2,000 miles to its name and is the perfect off-roader for a day (or several) of fun in the jungle, desert, tundra or wherever else you get your outdoors fix.
Whatever happened to Jeep’s famous CJ or Civilian Jeep series from 1948 until 1986? Well, you see, it became the Wrangler! Yes, that’s why the two have some serious commonalities in terms of not only styling, but sheer off-road ability. The Wrangler nameplate took over in 1986, with some comprehensive re-engineering, but the basic principles have remained true to this day. That’s why today’s 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport is a formidable off-road buddy to have. It’s got 118,000 miles and hails from Wichita, Kansas. Plus, it’s part of the TJ or second generation, which came for the 1997 model year.
The Jeep Gladiator is a pickup truck based on Jeep’s popular Wrangler off-roader.

But it swaps the rear cargo compartment for a five-foot truck bed.

That’s where a build like this 2023 Jeep Gladiator Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6 enters the scene. Built by SoFlo Customs, this mean machine is up for grabs in Utah with just 1,710 miles.
