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.
This 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport is ready for fun, with its Gun Metallic paint coat, aftermarket side steps and Gambler wheels. Its short and stocky two-door stance really makes it stand out, while that short wheelbase and relatively tight overhang at the front and rear make for excellent approach, breakover and departure angles. The vehicle’s black convertible top is manually operated, and allows you to really experience nature as intended. You can also remove the doors for even more freedom! Looking further, we see that the headlamps appear to have been upgraded with more potent units and that’s great for driving around when the sun goes down. The interior of this 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport comes in gray and features an aftermarket audio player with Bluetooth connectivity for your music. The vehicle seats four adults and features interesting red and blue designs on its gray fabric seats. It’s also got a heating and ventilation system for enhanced comfort. Granted, with the rear seats in place, cargo space is somewhat limited but you may fold them down for extra capacity if you’re not carrying passengers. Alternatively, you can remove them completely if you regularly adventure alone or with just one other person.
This 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport comes with the 4.0-liter straight six from AMC. Known as the 242, it’s a solid and dependable unit. It’s paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system. This means you can shift on-the-fly into two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. There’s also a low range box for heavier off-road duties.
A fun-loving off-roader for those who truly enjoy exploring the great outdoors, Jeep’s Wrangler can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ line-up from 1948 onwards. In fact, it’s not hard to see the family resemblance between the Jeep CJ and the latest JL-Series Wrangler. Case in point, we have a nicely modified 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport for sale from Slidell, Louisiana for sale today. With a mere 55,850 miles, this four-wheel drive off-road beast could be yours if you desire a machine that can keep up with your thirst to explore the unexplored, the desire to traverse the wilderness, the will to create new paths.

The Wrangler is descended directly from the WWII Willys Jeep. It's no surprise that it shares several features with the original Jeep, such as removable doors. Fans often describe the 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ generation as a "sweet spot." This generation offers the renowned look of the original Jeep while blending modern mechanical upgrades and improved comfort. Fans welcomed the TJ's return of the classic round headlights from the previous CJ models. The 2002 Jeep Wrangler came with four main trim levels, namely, SE, X, Sport, and Sahara. What we have here is a 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, which is the top-tier trim, adding more premium features and distinct styling. Bearing 114302 miles on its odometer, this Wrangler awaits in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for its new owner.
The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.

This 1968 Kaiser-Jeep M109A3 is built on the legendary M35 2½-ton 6x6 military chassis and has been thoughtfully converted into an RV-style expedition vehicle. Originally designed as a military service or communications body, the enclosed rear cabin now functions as a practical camper and mobile workshop space. Finished in military camouflage and riding on aggressive 11.00-20 tires, it retains its rugged, utilitarian presence while offering significantly more versatility than a standard cargo-bed “Deuce and a Half.” This is not a lightweight overland build — it is a true military-grade platform adapted for civilian adventure use.
The fearsome Ford F-150. America’s most favorite half-ton pickup truck by the proverbial country mile. The F-Series itself is a legend, being introduced in 1948, and now counting fourteen generations of excellence. Today’s 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum FX4 is from that latest, and current generation, and it’s up for grabs in Bonita Springs, Florida. This 34,000-mile truck is of the Platinum trim level, and packs the FX4 Off-Road Package too. Two keys are included with the sale of this go-anywhere hauler that’s also luxurious and comfortable enough to become your family’s daily driver!
The Land Rover Defender is an off-road champion with a fine legacy that dates back to 1948 and the Land Rover Series. It’s rare that you find a model that’s endured for decades without much change in terms of exterior appearance, albeit with hundreds of refinements under the skin, and within the interior. That’s what the Defender – the classic one, that is – is all about. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is a fine example of that statement, and you can get it from Sturbridge, Massachusetts if you wish. With just over 10,000 miles on the clock, this off-road beast packs the formidable 300Tdi powertrain, a manual transmission and a custom interior with air con and Bluetooth!
The Chevrolet Silverado’s corporate cousin is the GMC Sierra. It’s a smart move by General Motors to broaden their line-up across their various brands by sharing synergies. In fact, the Silverado and Sierra have been like this since 1999, when the Silverado became a separate nameplate. Hence, the first generation Silverado/Sierra was made between 1999 and 2007. In fact, variants like this 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT were only made up to 2004, as the heavy-duty line. This particular truck has done a light 64,000 miles and is up for sale in Orange, California. It’s got a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel under the hood, a 62-gallon fuel tank, and is four-wheel drive. That makes it ideal for someone who wants a sturdy truck that can venture off-road when needed.
