The Jeep CJ series is well-regarded, since it’s the first civilian product from this prolific American automaker since the famous World War II military Jeep. In fact, CJ stands for Civilian Jeep. The CJ series came about in 1944, and went through CJ-1, CJ-2, etc. The last of the series was the CJ-10A, which bowed out in 1986, to make way for the Jeep Wrangler. Along the way, the CJ-8 would emerge in 1981, as a long-wheelbase variant of the CJ-7. This particular 1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler is up for sale with 120,000 miles on the clock, but was reportedly professionally restored and rebuilt approximately 10-12 years ago. It’s also got plenty of interesting features that we’d love to tell you about.

Without a doubt, the Jeep CJ is one of the most revered and beloved American brands out there, especially the older models. It was the first commercial version of the military vehicle that served the US Army. The acronym CJ stands for “Civilian Jeep.” Off-road enthusiasts loved these vehicles due to their adaptability and the wide range of aftermarket services they delivered. The CJ-8 that saw the light of day in 1981 was officially named “Scrambler.” It is believed that this model's name was derived from the approach in which a Jeep and a pickup truck were combined, or scrambled together. These are rare to come by, but we have this stunning example of a 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler with over 309k miles on it. Situated in Terrebonne, Oregon, this trailblazer is a well-maintained vehicle that is waiting to be yours.
Jeep’s CJ series led to what we know and love as the Jeep Wrangler today. Yes, one of Jeep’s most iconic models owes its existence to a model that debuted in 1944, and saw more than 1.5 million examples made until 1986. When World War II was coming to a conclusion, Willys-Overland knew that the market for their military Jeep would soon dry up. So, what they did was to adapt it for civilian use, particularly agricultural purposes. They realized that this would mean a fair bit of strengthening the drivetrain and some practical considerations. After all, unlike a battlefield Jeep with a lifespan of months, a civilian Jeep would work hard in the fields for years on end. The CJ series first debuted for public consumption with the CJ-2A or Universal Jeep. Throughout the years, the series progressed and we got the CJ-8 in 1981. Made until 1986, it sported a longer wheelbase and gained the name of Scrambler. Today, here’s a 1981 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler for sale in Steamboat Springs, Colorado with 12,304 miles to its name. It’s a great classic off-roader to pick up, and, more importantly, one that can still get its wheels dirty if needed.

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.
The Jeep Wrangler is one of just two vehicles available today that allow you to remove the doors and roof for the ultimate open-air experience. You can imagine the engineering that goes into enabling such a feat, and most manufacturers simply don’t bother. But Jeep can’t do that, and you know why? Because since the mid-1940s, they’ve been outfitting enterprising Americans with tough, go-anywhere, do-anything off-roaders. The Wrangler, in fact, can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ series. Today’s 2019 Jeep Wrangler comes from the current JL series and packs a punchy Pentastar V6 under its rather sizable hood. That’s not all, with its automatic gearbox, Fox Racing steering stabilizer and 10,000-pound Warn winch, it’s ready to hit the trails with gusto. Oh, and it can also be your faithful, dependable and comfortable family cruiser too. If you want to get your hands on this sub 50,000-mile machine from Delta, Colorado, talk to us right now.
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.
Land Rover introduced the Series I off-roader was introduced in 1948, as Rover knew that, like Jeep over in the USA, with World War II finished, they needed to switch priorities and serve the civilian market. The Land Rover Series I holds the designation of being the world’s first mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicle with doors and solid roof. Over time, the Series I became the Series II then Series III, before gaining the Defender name in late 1990, in keeping with Land Rover’s new naming convention. The Defender came in 90,110 and 130 forms, which roughly referred to its wheelbase. Here, we have a 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 County Edition which is a five-door station wagon variant. You can see by its right-hand drive layout that it’s likely a UK import. With only over 16,000 miles to its name, the vehicle currently resides in Houston, Texas, but is basically at home anywhere in the country – especially where there are no tarmac roads. After all, it’s meant to go off-roading and overlanding!
