The World War II Jeep, which I’ll note beautifully fulfilled the occupant/packaging requirements defined by the U.S. Here’s the thing about those Jeep-inspired off-road legends that has always puzzled me: For some reason, both Toyota and Land Rover understood that a single, cross-car-oriented rear bench was a packaging waste, so they fitted longitudinally-mounted benches on the wheel wells.

You’ll never hear me decry that legendary machine, because it truly was revolutionary, setting the foundation for what would later become the most capable four-wheel drive vehicles to ever grace the earth - vehicles like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Series I, both of which were developed using the Jeep as the benchmark.

The World War II Jeep was an engineering triumph when it entered production in the early 1940s it was small, could drive over any obstacle, tough, easily serviceable, and cheap and easy to build.

My lifelong hunt for the perfect Jeep has led me to declare both the manual Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ and the Jeep Wrangler TJ Unlimited “Holy Grails” of Jeeps, so I understand if I’m starting to look a bit like the boy who cried “wolf!” But hear me out just one more time, because I recently learned about something incredible while here in Australia: It turns out that, down under, Jeep Corporation sold a version of the Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler that fixed what I always considered the World War II Jeep and its successors’ biggest packaging flaw: the seating arrangement.
