Identifying the Jeep CJ series vehicles as the most popular off-road
vehicles of all time may actually qualify as an understatement. They
really are that popular. The CJ series arguably started after World War
II with the CJ-2A being introduced to the masses, and while the early
CJs have their share of enthusiasts, the largest group of enthusiasts
began their love affair with the AMC-powered Jeep CJ-5s beginning in
1972. Joined by the longer-wheelbase CJ-7 models introduced in 1976, the
CJ models were wildly popular through their discontinuation in 1986,
when the Wrangler was introduced. These were the only models originally
equipped with V-8 engines in any meaningful way. This era combined the
ruggedness of the early Jeeps with some of the advancements and
horsepower of a more modern era; it makes a platform that is both fun to
own and to modify.
In Jeep CJ 1972-1986: How to Build & Modify, Jeep guru Michael Hanssen
covers all of the systems that can be upgraded to improve your Jeep’s
performance. Upgrades include suspension components such as springs,
shocks, and steering modifications; driveline components including
differentials, transmissions, transfer cases, and axles; engine upgrades
including engine swaps; wheel and tire upgrades; aftermarket
accessories; armor such as skid plates and bumpers; brake upgrades; and
more.
Whether you are looking to get into serious off-roading or just want to
make your classic CJ a little more fun, this book will be a valuable
tool in your shop or library.
