1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A

1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2A not just another old Jeep – it’s a legendary war-era design reborn for modern adventure. Owning this 1948 CJ-2A means owning a piece of Jeep history that’s been thoughtfully upgraded to hit the trails today. It retains the hallmark flat fenders, seven-slot grille, and no-nonsense utilitarian style that define the Jeep brand’s roots, while featuring custom touches that make it one-of-a-kind. Under the hood, this vintage Willys now roars with a 1973 Buick V6 engine – a huge upgrade over the original “Go-Devil” 4-cylinder (which made only about 60 horsepower). It’s mated to a GM TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, a legendary heavy-duty gearbox known for its durability and smooth operation. The automatic makes crawling through technical terrain easier – no clutch to worry about, just point and go. Dana 44 Front & Rear Axles – Heavy-duty Dana 44s at both ends, vastly stronger than stock axles, built to withstand larger tires and hard off-road use without breaking. Rear Differential Locker – Locks the rear axle on demand so both wheels turn in unison, dramatically improving traction in mud, rocks, and steep climbs. When others are spinning one tire, this CJ claws forward with both rear tires biting. Dana 20 Transfer Case – Rugged two-speed 4x4 transfer case (High/Low range) from later Jeeps, providing a low crawling gear for technical sections. The Dana 20 is a proven unit known for its reliability and beefy gear-driven design. Front Disc Brakes – Upgraded to modern disc brakes up front for vastly improved stopping power and fade resistance compared to the original drums. This Jeep can actually stop confidently on steep descents and paved roads alike. 8,000-lb Front Winch – An electric winch rated at 8,000 pounds is mounted to the front bumper, ready to yank you (or your buddies) out o out of trouble. Lastly, the rear bumper doubles as a air tank with an auxiliary air pump for those flat situations. Trail-ready, timeless, and tough.
