At the end of the war, Willys-Overland began considering making the Jeep to agricultural tasks. The result was the first Jeep Universal in 1945, ushering in what the company called Agrijeep creating variants known by the acronym CJ: Civilian Jeep. The first CJ was the CJ-2A, the civilian version of the successful military model Willys M38, modified with luxuries like cargo door, wipers, external fuel tank, rear hook for attaching farm implements, a gearbox and other reforms improved. This incorporated the famous Jeep front grille openings 7 language remains Jeep brand, like round headlamps, trapezoidal fenders, and exceptional performance in difficult terrain (the Willys MB World War II were 9 openings its front grille).

The CJ-2A models produced from 1945-1949, gave way to the CJ-3A, which used the same engine as its predecessor “Go Devil” (4 cylinder, 2195cc displacement, 60 hp, and 105 lb / ft of torque motor) so that both models are classified as "low cover". The differences lay in cosmetic reforms, including an undivided windshield and wipers with one or two at the bottom, were increased diameters of shafts for increased power transmission capacity and increased capacity for agricultural and additional accessories this end, a tractor version was offered to the public and production CJ-3A model lasted until 1953 with the appearance of the CJ-3B. Utilitarian versions were available as from 1959y 1964 DJ-3A Surrey Gala (marquee holiday release with the intention of being sold to roost and resorts), Hardtop (cabin version which had only two-wheel drive and offered the lever changes beside the helm and a longer wheelbase) and Dispatcher (a short version Hardtop).

The CJ-3B :


The CJ-3B was the first model of "high cap", as the engine cover had to undergo changes in order to accommodate the new Hurricane engine (4 cylinder, 2195 cc displacement, 71 hp, and 114 lb / ft of torque), which was essentially the same but changing the Go Devil L distribution valve, by a distribution of F, causing the intake valve to remain further away from the engine block, allowing it to be longer that the exhaust valve, which resulted in increased power output in relation to the basic design of the engine using the same engine and architecture. Also incorporated a 4X4 transfer case much quieter. For this reason the front grille is much higher, and production continued until 1968. Jeep is the most numerously produced in the world, as several companies have reproduced under license yet so far.
