Stuck in the snow? How about a Jeep?!

Well, the weather is pretty nasty around Kansas City.  We don't exactly have ideal conditions for cruising around in the ol' '32 Ford Highboy.  But hey, there is at least one old vehicle that was made for this stuff.  Let's take a look back at the history of one of the most popular off-road vehicles ever made.

For a vehicle that looks like it hasn’t changed much in 40 years, The Jeep Wrangler has an awful lot of history. Of course, today the Jeep brand makes the Grand Cherokee, the Liberty, and other SUVs in addition to the Wrangler, but for the purposes of this story, we’re going to refer to the Wrangler, and all of its predecessors, simply as Jeeps. Sorry, lovers of the Commander.
