They really are that popular. The CJ series started in World War II with the CJ-1, and while the early CJs have their share of enthusiasts, the largest group of enthusiasts began their love affair with the AMC-powered Jeep CJ-5s beginning in 1972. Joined by the longer-wheelbase CJ-7 models introduced in 1976, the CJ models were wildly popular through their discontinuation in 1986, when the Wrangler was introduced. These were the only models originally equipped with V-8 engines in any meaningful way. This era combined the ruggedness of the early Jeeps with some of the advancements and horsepower of a more modern era; it makes a platform that is both fun to own and to modify.\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eJeep CJ 1972-1986: How to Build \u0026amp; Modify\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeep guru Michael Hanssen covers all of the systems that can be upgraded to improve your Jeep's performance.
