There were far more models than I knew.

The Jeep FJ Fleetvans are so out of character, and so rare, that I have only heard of them 3-4 times, and while I sometimes think I could name every Jeep ever manufactured off the top of my head, the FJ proves me wrong.

I completely missed them for my Jeep Truck series (unless by some miracle I remembered them at the time but have forgotten I put them in...but I’m sure I didn’t). Even Wikipedia barely knows they exist.

The one above used to be for sale for the low, low price of $24k. Not only is it an FJ, it’s been converted to a hot rod. A hot rod van made by the company you’d never associate with vans. What a unicorn!
