Generational History of the Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler classification officially started in 1986 with the YJ when Chrysler purchased the Jeep brand.  The Wrangler however, has its roots with the Willys civilian vehicles post World War II.  Both Willys-Overland and Kaiser-Jeep produced a variety of Willys Jeeps including the MA, MB, Wagon, Jeepster, Pickup and M38.  These vehicles gave way to the highly commercially popular CJ5 and CJ7 models that were produced throughout the 50s, 60s, 70s and early 80s.

YJ: Utilitarian Plus

The Wrangler YJ which was manufactured from 1986 to 1996 was a departure from previous Jeep designs by including square headlights and more common SUV features for the time.  Technical specs and on road capabilty were updated including more powerful engine options, a roll cage and more reliable suspension components.  Over 500K units were made and sold with many still on the road today.

TJ: Move Towards the Modern

The TJ Wrangler introduced for model year 1997 revisited the traditional Jeep style, namely the round CJ headlamps, but maintained the YJ size increases and made some major technical and performance improvements.  This included a major suspension overhaul including a coil-spring suspension for better off-road performance, articulation and handling.  Other enhancements included beefier suspension components such as skid plates and heavier duty axles along with general drivetrain improvements in both engine and transmission performance.

JK: Complete Overhaul

Jeep brought the most current generation of Wrangler to market for model year 2007 with the completely redesigned JK.  This also included a major change with a four door unlimited model.  Carrying over the idea of a longer wheel base from the Wrangler Unlimited LJ first made in 2004; Chrylser expanded upon this concept by offering a four door version of the Wrangler a first for the series.  Learn more detailed information about the changes to the JK on our Specifications page.
