Jeep nomenclature

cj is the original style jeep made til 1986(round headlights turnsignals below lights). in 87 chrysler introducted the yj square headlights... then came the tj(round headlights turnsignals out on fenders) in 1997. that was followed by the jk...all of these are of the classic jeep style.
the zj was introducted in 1993 and ran til 1998(what i have) then the wj came into play and ran til 2005 or 06 then became something else....these are all grand cherokees
the xj(chris') is the standard cherokee and ran from 82-01 then changed to the kj(liberty). the mj is a pick up based off the xj.
a version of the tj came available just before model end that was stretched(think jeep scrambler) and was called the Lj.

VERY NICE I THOUGHT I HAD ALOT OF JEEPS I HAD MOST OF THOSE AT ONE TIME STILL GOT 3 LOL

I THOUGHT THE MJ WAS A CAB AND CHASSIS

NO LIKE ANY TRUCK IS BUILT FRAME , CAB ,BED WANT 1 TOO

the mj is a unit body truck...had two. they have no conventional fram...has same chassis as cherokee just a little more bracing at the bed/cab area. the tj is coil all around so is the jk. yes 6 lug from fullsize waggys/cherokees,

OH WELL GUESS I CAN'T USE A M J

no mj's are coil front leaf back,,,just like the cherokee its built off of

don't under estimate them...they are very sturdy

i think that would be to much

Don't forget CJ 8 the scrambler.

CJ THERE ALL CJS JUST DIFFERENT MODELS CJ5 CJ8 CJ7 CJ3B CJ89,10 LOL

Frames are different to. The cj5 is narrower and shorter then a cj7. The cj8 is longer then the cj7. They are lots more to.
