Military jeeps for sale are vehicles that have been built for heavy duty work and are vehicles revered for their ability to handle well on rough terrain. These vehicles were created in the early 1940s to replace some of the 4×4 heavy duty trucks that soldiers were using during times of war. Military jeeps for sale possess a six hundred pound load capacity, smooth running engines, and offer 4WD capabilities too. Modern jeeps bear this similarity, and consumers appreciate the rough and rugged riding capabilities of such vehicles.

The very first mass produced military jeeps for sale that were used by the government and were identified as the Willys MB was later replaced by the after WWII by the Willys M38 in the 1950s. These military jeeps for sale also possess fold down windshields, and a 2-speed transfer case. The body of military jeeps is rectangular in shape and the military jeep weighs less than twelve thousand pounds. The latter combination of features was put into all military jeeps produced for use in WWII, and the military jeeps performed so well that they became a high demand vehicle for other industries as well.

When additional industries expressed a desire for military jeeps for sale, these vehicles were changed just enough to meet the needs of such industries. At that time, military jeeps for sale saw the incorporation of different steering, a new transfer case, and a change in the axle ratio was also added. Eventually, the government’s demand for military jeeps declined due to the creation of the Humvee, but civilians still appreciate the durability and longevity of the military-style vehicles.

If a consumer is seeking older military jeeps for sale they can best do so by using online auctioning sites; these types of sites can prove a serious asset to the consumer seeking a high quality military jeep in excellent condition. At minimum, the consumer can fully ascertain the condition of the exterior body of the jeep for sale, and can also learn about the various features that the jeep possesses. The consumer will want to review photo images of the jeep under consideration in order to look for signs of damage and rusting.

The vehicle description of military jeeps for sale may also offer up detailed information about any necessary repairs the jeep might require; the latter information can supply the jeep buyer with an idea about necessary parts expenses. If parts are required the consumer will want to research how much the parts will cost before making a jeep purchase. By researching parts costs, the consumer will have more than reasonable expense expectations.

This website makes finding your dream Jeep a million times easier. Be sure to try this website before you buy.

The Jeep brand is really a great sponsor for the couple. In fact, a Jeep vehicle called the “Date Jeep” was a part of the coupe’s love story. Faith Hill explains:

“In 1996 in State College, Penn., we were doing a show together. We took a ride in a borrowed Jeep and that’s where we decided that we were going to be together and build a life together.

Back in 1996, we were in State College, Pennsylvania it was in March and we were doing a show together, we borrowed the Jeep of this runner for the fair where we were performing. That’s where we definitely decided that we were going to be together, that from that point on we were going to take this relationship seriously and make a life together and it started in that Jeep right out there and it’s a nice little way to finish out a circle…and you can add all the details that I left out.” (talking to Tim McGraw).

Tim McGraw added:

“Well there’s not too many details I want to add. She tracked down the Jeep and gave it to me for my birthday a couple of years ago and I thought that was a pretty cool surprise. We’re excited. I had a Jeep when I was in high school, always had a good time in them, tore a few up in the mud. And this one is very special to us as you can tell that she told. And we’re excited to get back on the road again. Last summer was really cool for us, that was the third time we’d been on tour together. The first tour was my Spontaneous Combustion tour which was my first headlining tour.”

The Soul2Soul Tour 2007 will commence in Omaha, Nebraska on June 6, visiting other cities in North America ending the tour at Anaheim, California on Aug. 10. With Jeep’s sponsorship in the Soul2Soul Tour 2007 concert series, the brand will be a part of every concert venue. In addition, the company will also develop a special “Soul2Soul” 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that will travel along the tour with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Of course, the couple will also bring their “Date Jeep”, which is a red 1978 Jeep CJ-6 to go along with the concert tour. For the concert viewers, Jeep will conduct special events in concert venues along with product placements. The company will show off some of the latest Jeep models and other Jeep parts for on- and off-road capability like the Freedom-Drive II off-road package and Jeep fender for instance.

Moreover, as a part of Jeep’s sponsorship, the brand will also include online activities for country music lovers and at the same time auto enthusiasts.

John Plecha, Director of Jeep Brand Marketing and Global Communications commented on their sponsorship and said: “Tim and Faith have a story about how the Jeep brand has been part of their lives that’s not unlike the thousands of stories we hear every year from Jeep owners all over the world.”

“As members of our Jeep family, it made perfect sense to blend our brands into a mutually beneficial partnership. We are very pleased to be associated with these two very talented artists who reach a broad audience much like the seven vehicles in the Jeep lineup.” he added.

Aside from the obviously Jeep features of the Patriot, it also offers excellent fuel economy plus interior flexibility and utility at a reasonably great value. According to Trevor Creed, Senior Vice-President-Design, “Simple yet distinctive geometric forms and planar surfaces define Jeep Patriot’s timeless proportions.—-Combined, these features give the Jeep Patriot its robust, strong, capable off-road image.”

Classic Jeep Design

The box-design of the Jeep Patriot is designed to hold maximum cargo volume, excellent utility, and rugged driving conditions. Creed said, “Patriot’s style is classic Jeep; its design focuses on functionality, simplicity, and capability. Patriot is designed to appeal to customers who want a vehicle that is practical in terms of form and function, as well as different from the crowd of compact SUVs currently on the road.”

The face of the Patriot reflects a classic Jeep with its brand’s signature seven-slot grille, a robust bumper, round headlamps, and a clamshell hood. The body color fascia is carefully integrated with the grille for a high-quality Jeep appearance. There are also a couple of models with bright fascia overlay.

The fascia-mounted round fog lights which are offered on both Patriot Sport models and standard on Patriot Limited models helps in improving visibility especially during bad weather. The Patriot is also equipped with a separate park and turn signal lamp that is wrapped around its corner. The simple and rectangular shapes that the Patriot and prominent in Jeep vehicles is timeless and functional.

A stiff windshield and upright backlight combines to give the Patriot a distinct look. The black roof molding channels water over the Patriot’s roof provides this compact SUV with a smooth fit and finish. The standard roof rack of the Patriot gives it the extra room for carrying additional gears. The Patriot is equipped with black racks while the Limited models are provided with bright colored racks. The Limited Patriot models were also provided with a body-color bodyside molding. There are also additional Jeep design cues that are added to accentuate the classic boxy side view such as the trapezoidal wheel openings and all-terrain tires. The high beltline that the Patriot possesses completes the vehicle’s protective side profile.

The rear of the Jeep Patriot also features an upright backlight and a bold bumper. A six light emitting diode or LED is integrated into the liftgate header together with the center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) and washer nozzle. The Patriot’s modular tall tail lamps are set at far corners of the vehicle in a classic Jeep style to enhance visibility. In the rear fascia is where the Patriot name is inscribed and complemented with a Jeep badge placed on the light bar in the center of the vehicle. In addition, the black step pad with a non-skid surface enhances the Patriot’s functionality which is what Jeep customers like about this brand in the first place. The Patriot’s four doors and a rear liftgate provide easy access to this compact SUV’s roomy and functional interior.

All of the Jeep Patriot models are equipped with the Freedom Drive II Off-road Package with tow hooks and skid plates needed for an ultimate off-roading experience. There are two firmly mounted tow hooks in the front while one tow hook is mounted to the left side of the rear fascia. The Jeep Patriot just like its other siblings is equipped with high quality Jeep components like the Jeep expansion tank that plays a vital part in any Jeep engine. The expansion tank provides storage space for the coolant when it expands therefore preventing the loss of coolant in the engine.

The Patriot is mounted on a 103.7-inch wheelbase with a 59.8 inch wide track. Its wheel placement enhances vehicle stability, dynamics, and quality. The large wheel openings accommodate 16-inch steel wheels with all the season touring tires, 17 inch aluminum wheels and OWL all-terrain tires contained inside a signature Jeep trapezoidal wheel openings. The remarkable 9 inches of ground clearance that the Patriot Trail Rated models possess is made possible by the Patriot’s large wheels which measured 27 to 28 inch outer diameter tires and suspension design.

All of the 2007 Jeep Patriot models are available in Green Metallic Clear Coat, Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat, Light Khaki Metallic Clear Coat, Marine Blue Pearl Coat, Bright Silver Metallic Clear Coat, Steel Blue Metallic Clear Coat, Stone White Clear Coat and Black Clear Coat.

According to John Plecha, Director for Jeep Marketing and Global Communications, “Jeep is the Swiss Army knife of the SUV market. No other automotive manufacturer in the world has the range of sport-utility vehicles that Jeep has. This impressive portfolio of SUVs provides Jeep dealers with an unprecedented opportunity to grow the brand by offering a variety of products that will excite our current customers and attract new ones.”

The expansion of the Jeep brand happens in two years which in turn signals the production of additional range of Jeep parts like for instance Jeep air deflector to accommodate future demands for replacement parts.

2004 was a great year for Jeep since it was able to form its top three brands which include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty and the icon of the brand the Jeep Wrangler (2-door).

Then in the year 2005 the Jeep Commander — the first Jeep vehicle with seven-passenger seating capacity was launched as a 2006 model. 2006 was the year when the redesigned Wrangler 2 door was introduced as a 2007 model with three other Jeep vehicles-the Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass which provide 4×4 Jeep capabilities along with excellent fuel economy, safety and interior flexibility at a price that customers can afford; and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited which is the first ever four-door Wrangler.

For this year, 2007, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was the first to offer a diesel engine in the full size SUV segment. Its 4.7 liter V8 engine is flex fuel capable giving customers the ability to utilize up to 85% concentration of ethanol or E85 fuel.

High Jeep Sales in US

For 2006, the Jeep brand was able to sell 460,052 vehicles in the United States. It was also last year that the Jeep brand has celebrated its 65th anniversary in 2006.

Jeep started in 1941 when the Willys-Overland company delivered to the US Army 1500 light reconnaissance vehicles called the Willys Quad. Later on improved vehicles were developed and were called the MA and MB. Those vehicles came to be known as the Jeep. During World War II more than 368,000 of Jeep vehicles were built. Over the years, freedom, authenticity, mastery and the capability to go anywhere have become the trademarks of the Jeep brand and the foundation for its SUV leadership worldwide.

Jeep is an automobile marque and a registered trademark of DaimlerChrysler. The marque like all the rest of Chrysler subsidiaries became part of DaimlerChrysler when Daimler-Benz merged with the Chrysler Corporation in 1998.

The Jeep Liberty from the ground up exudes its true legendary 4×4 heritage by providing two Jeep Trail Rate® four-wheel-drive systems-Command-Trac® and the all-new Selec-Trac® II.
