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.
Wearing a nice white suit, this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 showcases its timeless design with panache. For the CJ-7 series, Jeep lengthened the wheelbase and updated the chassis, giving it a distinctive difference between the previous CJ-5, especially when parked side-to-side. This vehicle also features aftermarket wheels and shocks, black fender flares, a black front brush guard and a rear tailgate. You’ve also got lifted suspension for that typical fun-loving Jeep loo, plus an exposed roll bar with padding. Diamond plate rear corner guards add some further protection when reversing in the brush. The reupholstered interior of this 1986 Jeep CJ-7 comes in a tan and black theme, with a Grant GT steering wheel, an aftermarket sound system and a flat steel dashboard with some nice aftermarket gauges courtesy Classic Instruments. There’s even a tachometer, something the vehicle likely didn’t have from the factory.

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.

The original Military Jeep by Willys-Overland morphed into the Jeep CJ series by 1944, and the Jeep brand as we know it was born. Produced until 1986, the CJ subsequently became the Wrangler, and you can definitely see the resemblance between the two models. Interestingly, the CJ was born out of a need to stay commercially relevant. With World War II coming to an end, Willys-Overland knew that the military would no longer need Jeeps in the massive numbers that they were consuming them during wartime. A military Jeep in a battlefield would have a lifespan of weeks or, at best, months – not years and decades. So, they came up with the CJ or Civilian Jeep, targeted primarily at the agricultural sector but in no time, other segments and enthusiastic off-roaders were snapping them up as well. The CJ went through many upgrades and iterations, with the CJ-7 ruling the Jeep roost between 1976 and 1986. Today, we’ve got a Kansas-based 1985 Jeep CJ-7 for sale. This vehicle has received a comprehensive makeover and packs under 5,000 miles since then.

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.

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.

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.
