WHAT?? They left out my beloved CJ7? Blasphemy! The best ever with the CJ5 base and a slightly lengthened wheelbase.

I wonder if they will explain why lately I am seeing Jeeps like this, with Scuba gear attached that looks like a factory stock vehicle with this extra apparatus. The weird thing is I may see 2 or 3 of these in one day after never seeing anything like this in the last 40 years. Is this some new fad or what?
To: Red Badger
Love the gif.
One day my 65 Willys and 82 cj7 will be roadworthy again.

Red Badger I saw correct...it is in there. I missed it.

I think The Toyota FJ40 is a snazzier looking vehicle, but I own a 1981 CJ-5.
Anyone remember when Subaru imported some 2 cylinder two cycle 4 wheel drives back around 1974? I saw the min Farmington NM back then. I also found some had been imported to Kansas City, but the EPA stopped them. Later they imported the Samurai.

Mercedes targeted the Jeep brand as reason to acquire Chrysler Corp.
A Chrysler purchasing guy told me Mercedes had cooked up all sorts of spin-off Jeep products, including Jeep clothing, Jeep tours, Jeep hotel visits in exotic locales.
But it never happened...

My 65 Willys has a removable cover on the hood that might have allowed something similar.
That’s figuring that the hood on it is original.
