dasbulliwagen Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 You should also list all the other Jeep 2 letter codes for the help of parts interchangability, like WJ, YJ, TJ, KJ... etc, and all the years those models were refered to as that. I,m a jeep dealership tech, and I still get them confused sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 This is a basic list without going in to all the sub-catagories of the CJ & FSJ's...

BLHTAZ Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 YJ - 1987 - 1995 (Wrangler) TJ - 1997 - 2006 (Wrangler) They didn't make Wranglers in 1996? :nuts: Nope...no Wranglers in 1996. They were in the process of switching from the YJ to the TJ going from leaf springs to coils and many other changes so they took a year off and introduced the TJ as a 1997.

jimoshel Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I believe the CJ designation wasn't used until 1945, for the CJ-2. 1941-45 were MA and MB . MA was the original designation used by Willys when they submitted the prototype for evaluation to the Army. It was changed to MB when it went into production for the military. CJ stands for civilian Jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegy410 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 CJ means civilian jeep. What do all the others mean? I've been wondering for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 they don't really mean anything in particular. Just corporate designations for the various models. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogetemturbo Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I've heard the CJ designation didn't originally stand for Civilian Jeep. It was just a designation they gave it that had no particular meaning. Multiple people who work or worked for Jeep told me this. One of which worked there quite a long time ago. I don't know how much truth there is to it, but these people told me this without me leading them that way. Who knows anymore, it was so long ago, I doubt there is a concrete answer.
