Equipment

• On most vehicles, the J40 series could reduce roof and doors. The fold-down windshield completed the cabriolet feeling.
• The J40 Series also had folding jump seats that were attached to the roll bar behind the front seats. So either two or more passengers more luggage could be promoted, the latter in contrast to the folding seats in the Jeep CJ.
• Winches were installed at the factory and driven directly from the transfer case (PTO (Power Take Off ) ). Later models had electrically driven winches.
• Today, it is estimated the J40 series because of their compatibility with the products of General Motors. To adjust the six-hole rims from GM and the Chevrolet small- block V8 engines such as the 307 ci ( 5,03 L) of 327 ci (5.4 L) and 350 ci ( 5.7 l) can be used. This allows exchange and improvement of engines, which is particularly interesting because the original engines of the J40 series are slowly scarce.
