Jeep

by Steve Statham

One of the greatest and most recognizable icons in American automotive history is the googly-eyed facade associated with Jeep. This informative overview takes enthusiasts through the entire history of Jeep vehicles, from the first utilitarian workhorse delivered to American GIs in 1941 to today's SUVs piloted by suburbanites. Stock production CJs, Wranglers, Wagoneers, and Cherokees are pictured both on and off the beaten path, along with less ubiquitous pickups, wagons and Commandos. In addition, heavily modified off-road Jeeps are captured in action, while appendices cover production years and volumes for all models.

[Charles Woodworth · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you like to learn about the new Jeep, then you would like this book. I liked it because it explains what they made them with and how they made them. If you like lifted Jeeps and talking about how they are built, then you would like this book.
