The Mitsubishi Jeep was the licensed version of the Willys CJ-3B light off-road vehicle that Mitsubishi built and sold in Japan. It reached the Japanese market in July 1953 as the Jeep J3, after Willys agreed to let Mitsubishi market the vehicle, and it competed there with the Nissan Patrol and the Toyota Land Cruiser. The J name did not refer to the CJ-3 but to the J1, a CJ-3A with six-volt electrics built for the Japanese regional forest office, and the J2, a CJ-3A with twelve-volt electrics built for the National Safety Forces. Mitsubishi continued knock-down production of vehicles derived from the CJ-3B design until August 1998, when tighter emissions and safety standards made the Jeep obsolete. About 200,000 units were built over those 45 years, in short, medium and long wheelbases, with a variety of body styles and gasoline and diesel engines. The Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force refers to them as the Type 73 light truck.
