Spotter's Guide for Trail Jeeps
|
For beginners it can often be hard to distinguish a CJ-5 from its longer CJ-7 brother if you don’t see the two of them side by side. The round fenders and S-shaped door openings tell you it’s a CJ-5 99 percent of the time. This M38A1 is the one exception to that rule. These pre–CJ-5 military Jeeps built from 1952 to 1971 had a factory shackle reversal up front, a battery box built into the passenger-side cowl, and a glove compartment to the left of the steering wheel. The circular indent on the passenger side between the door and the fender is also an A1 giveaway. The hole was put there to mount a large electrical power outlet plug on some of these A1s, which were used as portable power sources. View Related Article
