CJ Series
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.
