Jeep has been at the forefront of the four-wheel drive train. The company was founded in 1945 to provide a cheap and effective 4x4 vehicle during World War II. The Jeep name itself was slang used by US Army soldiers for new vehicles. The brand also inspired the British Series I Land Rover. When Jeep launched the first ever CJ, which stands for Civilian Jeep, in 1945, it inadvertently became the first and the oldest four-wheel drive mass-production SUV. Their CJ series were built well into 1985, while the Jeep CJ-7 was produced from 1976 to 1986 and featured many variants. Here's a chance to own a fabulous 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade with a few tasteful upgrades and 186,000 miles on the odometer.
This 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade comes coated in Brilliant Blue. At the same time, the soft top is finished in black. The Renegade decal can be seen on the sides of the hood, while a blue and white strip runs the sides of the Jeep. The front fascia features the instantly recognizable Jeep large grille flanked by round KC HID headlights, and in the lower center, a 20" LED lightbar is attached for greater visibility. Bumpers are an important addition to any 4x4 vehicle; this features a Smittybilt powder-coated front tubular bumper with a bull bar. At the back can be seen a full-sized spare wheel and the same Smittybilt powder-coated tubular bumper for the rear alongside the bull bar. The seller reports that the rear is lined with a Rhino bed liner. Once the soft top is removed, the integrated cage is also seen to be painted in the body color. The interior features a spartan finish in simple black and blue. Adding a little bit of modernism to the aftermarket Armor glove box and the center console is a new Alpine audio system with Bluetooth, USB, AUX input, and a wireless remote control for the LED light bar.
The Renegade variant of the CJ-7 came with a few engine options. This particular 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade bears the fuel injected 4.2L AMC inline-6 engine coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission. Upgrades include a Holley Sniper fuel injection system, a Holley Sniper ignition system, and a new wiring harness.
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.

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.

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.

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.
