Many of us are interested in buying an Army Jeep, but they can be hard to find, which can be frustrating. So where can you find Army Jeeps for sale that are still in good condition? Here are few places:

Auctions

Auctions are always a good place to find old Army Jeeps. Why? Because many people prefer to put Army Jeeps for sale in this manner compared to other options, such as classified ads – online or otherwise. Some believe that putting Army Jeeps for sale in an auction will allow them to make more money off of the Jeeps than other means of putting up Army Jeeps for sale because they can sell to a wider audience. One of the nice things about an auction is that you can often see the condition and quality of the Army Jeeps for sale, whereas you may not know what the Army Jeeps for sale look like before you buy them if you go through other options such as a classified ad that does not have pictures.  An auction site will normally have multiple pictures, as well as a long description that you will not get in a classified.

Classifieds

Classifieds are also somewhere to find Army Jeeps for sale that are in good condition. You can search for Army Jeeps for sale in online classified ads, or the ads in your local newspapers. From here you can either look locally or nationally for Army Jeeps for sale. Sometimes it is easier to find better deals on Army Jeeps for sale in another part of the country – but be careful about travel or shipping costs. On the other hand, an exciting road trip in your new Army Jeep would be well worth the trip!

Also, make sure you know the quality of the Army Jeeps which you are looking at. Older Jeeps are known to rust, and depending on how much and in what way it has been used, it might have strain on parts that the current owner may not consider – or may not want you to know about. Don’t forget, many of the people putting up their Army Jeeps for sale may be doing so because maintenance on them has become prohibitively pricey for the owner. The parts for older Army Jeeps are expensive and sometimes hard to come by. Many parts on Army Jeeps for sale are no longer manufactured or are not manufactured to as high of a quality as the original part was. If you are a technically and mechanically savvy person, make sure you get your hands on the original maintenance manuals as well. Why? Because, as much as we love our Army Jeeps, they do have problems as they get older – just like the rest of us. Having the original maintenance manuals will help you fix the problems yourself, or at least understand what the problem is when you take it in for repairs. These manuals can also help you find out the exact part you need for replacements.

Hopefully the above information will help you find the perfect Army Jeep!

Looking for buying CJ Jeeps?  If you plan to buy a CJ Jeep in the near future, it is important to read reviews of CJ Jeeps.  By doing so, you will understand some of the fine options you have available when it comes to buy a CJ Jeep.  Here I will review the CJ 7 jeeps (a.k.a. CJ7 Jeeps), CJ 5 Jeeps and CJ 8 Jeeps here, so that you can get a better idea about what these vehicles have to offer.

The abbreviations “CJ” literally stands for civilian jeep. The CJ 5, CJ 7 and CJ 8 Jeeps are vehicles that were based on military jeeps, but made available to the general public later.  The very first of all CJ Jeeps was created in the early 1940s and was identified as the CJ-2.  The CJ Jeeps endured a process of evolution as years passed and each new model came out with different variations.  In the late 1980’s, the CJ7 and CJ8 were replaced by the Jeep Wrangler.

More than 600,000 CJ 5 jeeps were manufactured before the production of this model ended in 1983.  These CJ 5 jeeps were manufactured with V6, F head, 4 cylinder engines under the hood, and there were many different models of the CJ5 Jeep created.  Models included the Tuxedo Park Mark III & IV, the Camper, the 462, the Renegade I & II, the Super Jeep and the Golden Eagle.

The CJ 7 Jeeps were first produced in the late 1970s and production of this model ended in 1986.  The CJ7 Jeep was build with all wheel drive, a hardtop, tilted steering, solid steel doors, and chrome grills, bumpers, and mirrors.  This model was actually produced with a diesel operated variant, but the production of the diesel power model was limited to only a couple of year’s time.  In addition, CJ7 Jeeps were offered with a total of four different motors: the AMC Inline four, the Inline six, the V8, and the diesel C240.

CJ8 jeeps were actually a truck version of the CJ 7 jeeps identified as the Jeep Scrambler.  This model became available to the public in the early 1980s.  A total of 30,000 units of this model were manufactured over the years.

CJ5 jeeps debuted in 1955, and jeep fans know that it is this very jeep that encouraged consumers to turn their attention to off-the-road driving. For Jeep fans who are looking to restore older CJ 5 jeeps really need to know what they are looking for before buying, since not all CJ5 jeeps were created with the same quality. Let’s take a look at how some of the CJ 5 jeeps differ from one another, so that restoration hobbyists can draw an understanding of some of the unique differences in CJ5 models.

In the year 1966, CJ5 jeeps were beginning to be manufactured with a V6 motor so that the jeeps could better compete with other, more power packed vehicles on the market. If the hobbyist ventures for a 1966 model or after, he or she may encounter CJ 5 jeeps that have a V6, Buick, Dauntless motor under the hood. In fact, nearly three quarters of CJ 5 jeeps manufactured between 1966 and 1978 have that V6 engine. It will be necessary to seek out parts for the V6 motor, if the motor is to be restored properly. Searching for available parts is therefore recommended before making any CJ5 jeeps purchase.

Dating CJ5 Jeeps visually isn’t too difficult if you knows what to look for. Checking the engine can help you get a date range for the CJ5 jeep in question. From 1955 to 1971, these jeeps held the 72 horsepower Hurricane F-head 1-4 beneath the hood. From 1961 to 1965, the engine was offered as a 62 horsepower Perkins diesel motor, and from 1966 to 1970, the V-6 Dauntless mentioned earlier was used: this is seemingly the most preferred engine.

CJ5 jeeps are identifiable by the rounded fenders on the body, and some 603,000+ of these models were manufactured until the early 1980s. The rounded fends softened the body of the vehicles and made them more appealing to civilians who were seeking vehicles with smoother, sleeker trims. The hood of the CJ5 was also lengthened in order to accommodate the newer, rounder, fenders too.

CJ5 jeeps came with a range of different windshields as well, and not every windshield is suitable for every CJ5 model. One will notice that there are windshields available with top-mounted windshield wipers, split windshields, windshields with bottom-mounted windshield wipers, and in 1969 a wider windshield was developed for some models. These differences must also be considered when you looking for CJ 5 Jeeps.
