Only in a Jeep
|
pickup trucks from the first one to the present day. I thought , what a nice idea. I have been collecting pictures of Studebakers, Packards Nash, Hudson and Jeeps for some time now and I first wrote a web page on the Studebaker. Then this one on the Jeep and and next came the Packard followed by the Nash and Hudson. I have since added a page on old Pickup Trucks , Hudson. Essex and Terrplanes of Australia , Volkswagen , Kaiser and Henry J and now I with the help of one of my visitors have written on on the Crosley. These pictures came for a number
of sources including
I would like to invite any one that

| The Jeep, that wonderful little vehicle that
does just about everything.
It seems like it has been with us for ever but it didn't start it's life until 1940. In that year because of World War II the US Army issued a set of specifications For a general purpose utility vehicle. The specifications were as follows: The public tender
Ford, American Bantam and Willys-Overland answered
the call.
The name Jeep also has an interesting story to
it.
In 1970 AMC (American Motors Corp.) bought Jeep
from Kaiser.
A further note to the history of the Jeep was
provided by Rodney Hawk of Butler, Pa..

I have been told by the support team of my
hosting service that this problem
is a fault of MSIE and that we will have to
live with it.

Jeeps.

This Jeep is owned by William Smith, Nurmijärvi,
Finland. William had the following to say about his Jeep. " My 1981 Jeep Renegade comes with a stock 304 V8. I just bought here in Nurmijärvi, Finland a month ago. I think there are only a handfull of CJ's in Finland and I know there is at least one Willys somewhere in the county because I know the mechanic that completely rebuilt it. There is an interesting item about cars that people imported into Finland up until the mid 1990's. 4 wheel drive vehicles imported had lower import duties and taxes since if the army ever needed them, they could simply be requisitioned from the owner. Even to this day, people who have horses get paid by the government for colts born since the same principle applies to horses :) Anyway, here is my CJ7 Renegade and I'm working on making sure it runs well and I do drive it daily. I hope you enjoy the pics. The first one has my girlfriend and our dog in it also and shows the CJ with the hardtop and hard doors for winter. The side pipes and the turn signals on the front fenders aren't standard, and the front turn signals certainly had to be added to pass inspection here since the winch mounting blocks the original turn signals. The side pipes certainly make the V8 sound fantastic - I doubt I want to change them!" |

This Jeep is owned by Snorre Myrvik of Trondheim, Norway " 2,5 liter turbo diesel engine and manual gear box. It also includes the Command Trac system, which is part time only. Quite suitable as I am living in Norway where winter last from November to April, and we get lots of snow and icy roads together with temperatures down towards -25 fahrenheit. Great car, my first Jeep, but not my last!" and so true that is. Snorre sold this Jeep and bought a 2002 Jeep Cherokee (Liberty) which is shown below |

a pretty good person to admit it. I think that Jeep made a big mistake when they dropped the Cherokee in favor of the plastic looking Liberty. If a person wanted that type of a so called SUV there are many of them out there. If you wanted a real off road SUV there are very few. With the introduction of the 2005 Grand Cherokee, Jeep is trying to get back to the basic. The basics that made the Jeep what it was. They have desytled the old Grand Cherokee and made it express Jeepness in a way it never did before. It now looks like more backwoods capable but still looks good at the country club. |
