While it's neat to see the engineering that goes into the extreme Jeeps and rock buggies, the basic Jeep was more than capable of getting around in most off-road situations in relatively stock form, as this 1969 Jeep CJ-5 for sale on Hemmings.com has remained. Of course, it appears to have benefited from some maintenance and upkeep and now sports some basic provisions for an offroad excursion here and there. From the seller's description:
This JEEP has a solid tub and new fenders. It has its original V6 225 odd fire engine with a T14 3 speed transmission and a Dana 18 transfer case. The front axle is a Dana 27 and the rear is a tapered Dana 44 with the optional power-lok. The brake system was completely rebuilt five years ago. It has a new exhaust system, all new leaf springs, new reproduction radiator, new starter, new water pump, new hoses and belts, a newly rebuilt Rochester 2G carburetor and the tires have about 8,000 miles on them.

Powertrain Combos
Several generations of Dodge Power Wagons exist with various engine combos. Initially, the PW T202 was powered by a 79 horsepower 201 cubic-inch straight six. The T202 was replaced by the T207 with a more military-spec hood, grille and fenders. These models got a 218 cubic-inch engine making 85-hp. Later upgraded T211 and T215 models were powered by a 230 cubic-inch flathead straight six-cylinder engine making 94 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Various cabs were available as well, making the Power Wagon suitable for everything from a pickup truck to a ranch vehicle, tow truck, school bus or fire truck. Thankfully, parts are still relatively easy to acquire.
