Jeep Scrambler 1983 Hot Wheels 1:64










From Fandom:
For the 1997 release, the Jeep Scrambler was renamed Trailbuster. The "Jeep Scrambler" was at the time of the original Casting's release, the Long-wheelbase version of the conventional Jeep CJ-7 series (called 'CJ8' inside Chrysler). Produced from 1981 until 1986, the Scrambler embodied much of the style of 1980s American trucks- high ground clearance, large wheels and roll bars. The casting enjoyed a 14-year original run as a Hot Wheels casting, before being revived in 2009.
Hot Wheels has released in recent years the '67 Jeepster Commando, a prior Jeep pickup truck model from the '60s.
From the back of the 2009 card:
Born: 1980
Birthplace: Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA
Designer: Chrysler LLC
Specialty: With off-road tires, 4-wheel drive, and a toolbox and axe in the bed, this trail blaster was made to welcome you to the jungle.

2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Maisto 1:18












The Jeep Wrangler is a series of compact and mid-size four-wheel drive off-road SUVs manufactured by Jeep since 1986, and currently in its fourth generation. The Wrangler JL, the most recent generation, was unveiled in late 2017 and is produced at Jeep's Toledo Complex.

The Wrangler is a direct progression from the World War II Jeep, through the CJ (Civilian Jeeps) produced by Willys, Kaiser-Jeep and American Motors Corporation (AMC) from the mid-1940s through 1980s. Although neither AMC nor Chrysler (after its purchase of AMC in 1987) have claimed that the Wrangler was a direct descendant of the original military model — both the CJ Jeeps and the conceptually consistent Wrangler, with their solid axles and open top, have been called the Jeep model as central to Jeep's brand identity as the rear-engined 911 is to Porsche.

Similar to the Willys MB and the CJ Jeeps before it, all Wrangler models continue to use a separate body and frame, rigid live axles both front and rear, a tapering nose design with flared fenders, a fold-flat windshield, and can be driven without doors. Also, with few exceptions, they have part-time four-wheel drive systems, with the choice of high and low gearing, and standard are open bodies with removable hard- or soft-tops. However, the Wrangler series was specifically redesigned to be safer and more comfortable on-road, to attract more daily drivers, by upgrading its suspension, drivetrain, and interior, compared to the CJ line. The suspension on all Wranglers included trackbars and anti-roll bars, and, from the 1997 TJ onwards, front and rear coil springs instead of the previous leaf-springs.

From 2004 on, the Wrangler has been complemented with long-wheelbase versions, called Wrangler Unlimited. 2004-2006 models were longer versions with 2 doors. In 2004 only automatic transmission-equipped “Unlimited” versions were sold. In 2005 both an automatic and manual 6-speed (NSG-370) were offered. Since 2007, the long-wheelbase Wranglers were four-door models, offering over 20 in (508 mm) more room. By mid 2017 the four-door models represented three-quarters of all new Wranglers on the market.

2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 1:27 Maisto











El Jeep Wrangler es uno de los todoterrenos más famosos automóvil todoterreno fabricado por la compañía estadounidense FCA Group (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) y vendido bajo la marca Jeep. Es el sucesor del Jeep CJ, la versión civil del Willys MB, un vehículo militar utilizado por el ejército de Estados Unidos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

El Wrangler abarca tres generaciones distintas, denominadas internamente YJ, TJ y JK y lanzadas en los años 1987, 1997 y 2007 respectivamente. Desde 1987 hasta 1992 el Wrangler fue fabricado en Brampton, Ontario, Canadá, desde cuando el Wrangler se fabrica en Toledo (Ohio), Estados Unidos.

El nombre "Wrangler" no se usó en Canadá, porque era un nivel de equipamiento de una camioneta de Chevrolet en aquel mercado. Sin embargo, desde 1987 hasta 1995 fueron vendidos con el sobrenombre de "YJ" y desde 1997 hasta 2006 como "TJ".

Los modelos actuales son el Wrangler 2-door JL y el Wrangler 4-door JL.

1942 Jeep Willys Matchbox 1:52









 
 
From Fandom:
 Prowling through the Amazon forest, searching for the infamous Spider Temple, you encounter a hungry pack of jaguars. Time for a super fast getaway in your Jeep® Willys! With its 4-wheel drive and built-in shock absorbers, it's perfect for the rugged jungle path!

—From the 2010 and 2011 Jungle Explorers cards.

From Wikipedia:

The Willys MB and the Ford GPW, both formally called the U.S. Army Truck, ​1⁄4-ton, 4×4, Command Reconnaissance, commonly known as the Willys Jeep, Jeep, or jeep, and sometimes referred to as G503, were highly successful American off-road capable light military utility vehicles built in large numbers to a standardized design for the United States and other Allied forces in World War II from 1941 to 1945.

The jeep became the primary light wheeled transport vehicle of the United States military and its allies, with President Eisenhower once calling it "one of three decisive weapons the U.S. had during WWII." It was the world's first mass-produced four-wheel drive car, manufactured in six-figure numbers; about 650,000 units were built, constituting a quarter of the total U.S. non-combat motor vehicles produced during the war, and almost two-thirds of the 988,000 light 4WD vehicles produced, counted together with the Dodge WC series. Large numbers of jeeps were provided to U.S. allies, including Russia at the time – aside from large amounts of 1​1⁄2- and 2​1⁄2-ton trucks, some 50,000 jeeps and 25,000 ​3⁄4-tons were provided to Russia during WWII – more than Nazi Germany's combined total production of their Volkswagen vehicles, the Kübelwagen and the Schwimmwagen.
