How to Restore your Jeep: 1941 - 1986

It’s not a truck or a ca-- It’s a Jeep!

DESCRIPTION:

Developed in the early 1940s as a light reconnaissance vehicle for the U.S. Army, the Jeep successfully transitioned from military usage to public use with the arrival of the CJ-2A in 1945. Many more CJ models followed, which cemented the Jeep as one of the most successful and longest-tenured models when the CJ-10A was discontinued in 1986.
