2019 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited – The Unruly Wrangler Ready to Explore Adventure Destinations

The remarkable capabilities of the Jeep Wrangler have been showcased not only in the Southern African Sahara Desert and among the Rubicon mountains of California but also along the southern coasts of Australia and beyond for over 75 years, dating back to World War II. The Jeep Wrangler can be introduced as a vehicle initially utilized by the American military and later manufactured for civilian use. In its early days, the Jeep company was referred to as Willys Overland, which first introduced the Willys MB to the American military in 1941. A contract was awarded to Willys Overland for the production of 4,500 vehicles, consisting of a 60-horsepower engine. Within 49 days, the first Jeep was produced entirely by hand.

This new invention brought about significant changes in the operational capabilities of the American military, allowing for easy navigation over difficult terrains thanks to its custom all-wheel-drive system. It served various roles including supply vehicles, ground attack vehicles, and amphibious vehicles, fulfilling a wide range of services.

From 1940 onward, notable models included the BRC (45hp, 79-inch wheels), the Willys MB (60hp, 80-inch wheels) in 1941, and the Willys CJ2A (60hp, 80-inch) in 1945. The CJ2A became particularly popular among many. It featured the 2.2L Willys L134 “Go Devil Engine” and was the first vehicle to be branded as a Jeep. It also introduced a unique seven-slot grille design. Moreover, this was considered the first post-war civilian Jeep.

In 1949, the Willys CJ3A was introduced, which became widely used in agricultural and industrial activities across many states in America. Gradually, the Jeep company succeeded in selling a significant number of these vehicles to consumers, maintaining a technological lead over its predecessors.
