Yeah, I guess technically only YJ, TJ, JK, and JL are Wranglers.Someone please explain these letters.

Or you could do like @Chris and basically buy all new parts, twice!I know eventually I will probably have to stoop to the level of buying a newer Wrangler but I really don't want to.
Yeah, I guess technically only YJ, TJ, JK, and JL are Wranglers.
YJ: Wranglers from 1987 - 1995
TJ: Wranglers from 1996 - 2006
JK: Wranglers from 2009 - 2018

Add to the list Wk and Wk2 for the grand Cherokee 2000-2010, and 2011-present.
Don't forget the great LJ debate...oops, did I just say that??!! Thread derail alert...Yeah, I guess technically only YJ, TJ, JK, and JL are Wranglers.

The foot peg is the sign.Obviously the IQ is dropping with every new generation of jeeps and/or people
Isn't that supposed to be "FSJ"? As-in "Full Size Jeep"? Nice one there, by the way. I had a '79 Golden Eagle, as well as an '84 Grand Wagoneer. Nice rigs!
FCJ just needs to start importing the Mahindra ROXOR and rebadge it as the "Jeep Classic" It's not street legal, but the original CJ wouldn't be by today's standards either.I am bummed they put the turn signals back in the fenders. That is the only thing I don't really like about my TJ. If I were crazy enough to buy a JL, The first think I would do is take off those hideous fenders off and drill holes in the grill, and put the blinkers back where they belong.
At least the TJ still looks like a CJish except with holes cut in the fenders, but the fenders on the new jeeps aren't really even fenders. I think they would look so much better if they instead of put the blinkers in the fake fenders if they just retro'd flat fenders.
Seriously who wouldn't buy a new retro CJ2a flat fender now. Especially if it came with 33 inch tires and 4:88 gears? I know you guys are going to freak out about 4:88 gears, but the original cj2a's came with 5:38 gears, so we are not that far off.
If they are going to bring back the camaros, chargers, and mustangs, why not the cj2a? Whos with me?

Full disclaimer, I know above is not the point of the thread, but the blinkers in the fender is the obvious link to the jk jl debate, they didn't need a whole manual to draw up all of the differences. If you can see the front of the Jeep, you know what it is right away. Either way they are not as good looking as the jeep in this picture, of which I would buy one of those if it was retro'd long before I would by either a JK or JL.
As far as I could research, "SJ" is the official Jeep designation for the Cherokee built from 1974 - 1983. FSJ is slang for any of the full size Jeeps (Wagoneer, Cherokee, Gladiator).Isn't that supposed to be "FSJ"? As-in "Full Size Jeep"? Nice one there, by the way. I had a '79 Golden Eagle, as well as an '84 Grand Wagoneer. Nice rigs!

Funny thing is, they generally have a sticker right in front of the door that says JL or JK...The title reads "JL or JK? How to tell whether your 2018 Wrangler is a JK or JL"
So they are saying when you bought your new Jeep you have no idea what you bought....!!!

They sold the jk for about the first 6 months of 2018, the stated reason was for people to decide if they like the JL or would prefer to stick with the JK.
As to shared drive train, the motor is the same, the trans and axles are different, and I'm not sure about the tcase.
Could well beI believe they redesigned the 3.6 for the JL.
That right headlight bar makes it look like it has a lazy eye. Kinda like me.FCJ just needs to start importing the Mahindra ROXOR and rebadge it as the "Jeep Classic" It's not street legal, but the original CJ wouldn't be by today's standards either.
