Jeep Wrangler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jeep Wrangler is a compact four-wheel drive off-road and sport utility vehicle (SUV), manufactured by American automaker Chrysler, under its Jeep marque -- and currently in its third generation. The Wrangler is a direct descendant of the World War II Willys military "Jeep" by way of the Willys civilian Jeeps (CJ models) of the mid-1940s through 1980s, later produced by Kaiser-Jeep and by American Motors (AMC).
Just like their predecessors, the Willys MB and the CJ Jeeps, Wranglers continue to use a separate body and frame, rigid live axles both front and rear, a fold-flat windshield, and can be driven without doors. The Wrangler debuted in 1986 as a revision of the Jeep CJ-7, was revised in 1996, and completely redesigned in 2006. In addition to the nameplate Wrangler, each model received a designation corresponding to its generation: YJ (1986--1995), TJ (1997--2006), LJ's (2003--2006 Unlimited models) and JK (2007--present). Military versions of the Wrangler have carried the J8 designation.
YJ models were manufactured between 1986 and 1992 at AMC Brampton Assembly Plant, and subsequently at the Toledo South Assembly Plant plant.[1] In 2006, Wrangler production was moved to Toledo Supplier Park.[2] The Wranglers were set apart from their predecessors by the angle of the grille. In all previous models, the grille was flat and even with the front fenders. The Wrangler was constructed with a grille which angled out toward the top, and then continued in a straight line from the midway point, toward the bottom. This decreased the hood length, while increasing the length of the fenders. In more recent models, this angle has been lowered more toward the bottom of the grille.
