The Jeep CJ-3B, a rugged and versatile off-road vehicle, was produced by Willys-Overland Motors from 1953 to 1968. It was a successor to the CJ-3A and built upon the same foundational principles of durability and off-road capability that made its predecessors iconic. The CJ-3B featured a number of improvements over the CJ-3A, including a larger and more powerful "Hurricane" F-head four-cylinder engine, a wider track, and a more robust chassis. These enhancements allowed for a greater payload and increased towing capacity, making the CJ-3B a popular choice for both military and civilian applications.
Its utility extended well beyond military use, finding its place on farms, ranches, and in construction projects. The CJ-3B's simplistic design and robust construction made it incredibly reliable and easy to maintain, further contributing to its popularity. Unlike its predecessor, the CJ-3B was available with a choice of transmissions, including a three-speed manual, a four-speed manual, and even a three-speed automatic. The CJ-3B was also available with a variety of body styles, including a station wagon, a pickup truck, and even a convertible. Its versatility and adaptability made it a true icon of American off-roading, and its legacy lives on today through the Jeep brand, which continues to produce vehicles that embody the spirit of the CJ-3B.
