The Terrible Ten Jeeps

The Worst Jeeps EverYeah, we probably just trounced your favorite Jeep model and you're irate with us. Hey, at least we didn't push your elderly mother down a flight of stairs or toss a bag full of puppies into a river. Let's keep things in perspective.

'76-'86 CJ5 /CJ7
We love the CJ, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a pile. The bodies weren't galvanized so they rot away, the steering and clutch linkages can separate when the body and frame flex on the trail, the frames crack at the suspension mounts (or pretty much anywhere, really), the steering box mounts snap in half or fall off of the frames, and the two-piece axleshafts in the Model 20 are guaranteed to separate and spin with off-road use. In short, they sort of fall apart if you use them. Add emissions gizmos onto the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l engine, a crappy Carter BBD carburetor to ensure sputtering and impossible tunability, and a wiring fuse box that's the work of Satan, and it's a wonder the CJs of that era didn't bring down the whole company. Hey, wait a minute...where'd AMC go?

Yeah that's why there aren't any cj's from that era on the road…
