Beautifully simple, this CJ-2A does pack some modern upgrades so you don’t have to worry about being stranded thanks to faltering mechanicals. Under the hood is a 5.3-liter LS6 V8 which was remanufactured by Jasper, providing plenty of predictable, reliable power and ease of servicing. Bolted up to that is an SM465 four-speed manual transmission for ultimate control on any trail.

Plus, you benefit from the capable nature of custom-length, rebuilt Dana 44 front and rear axles, which come with ARB air locks for even more capability. As if that’s not enough to make you want to take this thing on an adventure, the lower gear is 6.55:1 with 2.62:1 in the lower range transfer case, perfect for traversing truly rugged terrain.
