Despite being initially conceived for military use, the original Willys Jeep was clearly destined for a much larger audience. It wasn’t long until a Civilian Jeep (CJ) model was launched, with concepts drawn up even before World War 2 ended. The seventh generation of Jeep, aka the CJ7, is a natural evolution of the original. It retains the battle-proven abilities of its military ancestor but offers a driving experience more suited for the general public. The Laredo trim took that a step higher with more amenities, including improved seats, a tachometer, chrome trim, and special graphics. Our featured car is a Jeep CJ7 Laredo, which has a host of new parts, including a recently rebuilt engine.
The Jeep CJ7 Laredo’s exterior is characterized by added chrome and the “Laredo” graphics prominently displayed on either side of the car’s hood. It is painted black and features a matching black bikini top. The owner also reports that this off-roader comes with new doors. This CJ7 sits on aftermarket wheels from off-road wheel specialists Dick Cepek. The alloy wheels feature locking hubs and are wrapped in 33-inch mud terrain tires. Inside, you’ll find a black interior with individual highback seats for front-seat occupants and a rear bench. There’s even a Continental radio, which blends in perfectly with the aesthetic of this '80s off-road icon. There’s also a Jeep-branded three-spoke steering wheel up front and additional gauges for oil pressure and voltage. Being a Laredo model, this Jeep comes with a tachometer, while temperature and fuel gauges are housed as subdials inside an 85-mph speedometer.
Under the hood of this small off-roader is a powerplant that is anything but small. You’ll find a 4.2-liter inline-six engine, which was rated when new to output 98 hp and 193 lb-ft of torque. While the chassis has 140,000 miles on it, the owner reports that this 1980 Jeep CJ7’s engine was rebuilt under 7,000 miles ago. Power is sent to all four wheels via a manual transmission.

Jeep’s CJ series was born out of the need to keep in business. Willys-Overland knew that since World War II was ending, so would their lucrative military contract for Jeeps. So, they created the Civilian Jeep – CJ, get it? It was meant for usage that was even tougher than a battlefield. This meant use at the hands of farmers, construction workers, manufacturing facility operators and other harsh environments, for years on end, with minimal maintenance and often driven hard too. The CJ was made across several iterations from 1944 to 1986 before giving rise to a familiar name – Wrangler. Yes, the Jeep Wrangler can directly trace its lineage to the CJ series, and the resemblance is uncanny too. Here, we have a 1986 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Henderson, Nevada. This fine machine comes with the 350ci Chevrolet V8, a reupholstered interior and a decent 104,953 miles on the odometer.
When Willys-Overland created the Jeep back in 1944, they envisioned it to be a tough agricultural tool, not the off-road sensation that it is today. World War II was ending and the company knew that very soon, the military wouldn’t be ordering Jeeps like pizza anymore. They had to change tactics, and they pivoted towards the civilian market. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep in fact. The CJ series ran until 1986 when an even more famous name replaced it – Wrangler! Yes, this is where your Wrangler gets its heritage from. If you’re interested in adding to the family, or a fan of classic Jeeps, we have a nice 1976 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Atlanta. It’s got just over 77,000 miles on it and comes with the Renegade decal package plus an aftermarket Kenwood head unit. Moreover, it’s got an automatic gearbox, making it ideal for those who can’t remember or never learned how to drive stick.

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. Thanks to being heavily based on the Wrangler, this midsize pickup truck looks much the same as its sibling from the front three quarters, comes with the same powertrain choices, and the same off-road hardware too. But it swaps the rear cargo compartment for a five-foot truck bed. That’s all well and good for most, but what if you want a Wrangler with some serious capabilities in case, you know, the world ends as we know it? 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. It’s got a 3.0-liter turbodiesel, a custom leather interior and more. Oh, and it’s a true 6x6, meaning all six wheels are powered!

The first Hummer, the H1 was a gargantuan beast released in 1992. It was the result of AM General’s desire to produce a civilian variant of their tough military Humvee, spurred on in no small part by a request from Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Terminator had encountered Humvees during his silver screen adventures and thought they would be a fine SUV for those who dared to think different. One does not simply refuse a request from The Terminator, and AM General saw the potential new market it could offer too. These days, finding an H1 isn’t hard, but it’s not a walk in the park either. Thankfully, we have this 96,579-mile 1995 AM General Hummer H1 for sale from Boston. The vehicle has a 350ci V8, an automatic gearbox, aftermarket wheels and all those cool things that the H1 is famous for.
