Jeep is an automobile marque (and registered trademark) of Chrysler. It is the oldest off-road vehicle (also sport utility vehicle - SUV) brand, with Land Rover coming in a close second. The original vehicle which first appeared as the prototype Bantam BRC became the primary light 4 wheel drive car of the US Army and allies during the World War II and postwar period. Many vehicles serving similar military and civilian roles have since been created by many nations.

There are many explanations of the origin of the word \"jeep\", which have proven difficult to verify. Probably the most popular notion holds that the vehicle bore the designation \"GP\" (for \"Gov. Purposes\" or \"General Purpose\"), which was phonetically slurred into the word Jeep.

Jeeps have always been known for their abilities off-road, and their popularity endures. Useful features of the smaller Jeeps are their short wheelbases, narrow frames, and great approach, breakover, and departure angles, allowing them to fit places where full - sized trucks could never go. There are many models of the JEEP available through JEEP Salvage and you can bid and buy your JEEP model through SalvageSpareFinder with daily JEEP Salvage Auctions.
