~ CJ-7 - A compromise between the CJ-5 and CJ-6, having a 93.4" wheelbase (like the YJ and TJ). The body tub is very similar to the YJ and TJ, but the rear wheel wells are round instead of angular. Made '76-'86.

~ CJ-8 - Also called a "Scrambler." Similar to a CJ-7, but with an extra 10" of wheelbase and an even longer rear overhang. Like the CJ-6, it was intended as a small pickup, but never really found its niche. Only 27,000 were made from '81-'86. Commonly seen with half-cab tops that surround only the front seats.

~ CJ-10 - A more truck-like Jeep built mainly for export from 1981-85. A small number were also sold to the US Air Force for use in pulling aircraft around runways. These Jeeps had very stout drivetrains compared with their smaller brethren. Easily distinguished by the square headlights in the fenders and the 10-slat grille.

~ YJ - The original Wrangler, made '87-'95 (though production actually continued into March of '96). Rectangular headlights make it the bastard child of the short-wheelbase line. Rear wheel wells are larger and more angled than the CJ-7, but otherwise the two are visually quite similar.

~ TJ - The second generation Wrangler, made '97-present (actually began shipping May of '96). Round headlights, coil suspension, and a much more car-like interior distinguish it from the YJ.

~ LJ - Introduced in 2004 as a 2004 1/2 model, the LJ or TJ - L is a lengthened wheelbase version of the TJ. 10" were added to the wheelbase, and 15" overall to the vehicle. Initially only available with a 4 spd auto transmission, all are equipped with the Dana 44 rear axle.

~ SJ - The full-size Cherokee ('74-'83), Wagoneer ('63-'83), Grand Wagoneer ('84-'91), and J-truck. In 1984, Jeep introduced the downsized XJ and started calling them Cherokees and Wagoneers, leaving only the Grand Wagoneer in the SJ lineup until its demise in '91.

~ M-715 - A 5/4-ton military pickup built '67-69. It somewhat resembles a J-truck (SJ), with more attitude. The M-725 was the ambulance version of the M-715.

~ XJ - The downsized Cherokee ('84-'01) and Wagoneer ('84-'89). It was (probably?) the first Jeep to use a unibody chassis.

~ KJ - The Liberty ('02-present), which replaced the XJ in Jeep's product lineup.

~ ZJ - The Grand Cherokee ('93-'98), which replaced the Grand Wagoneer (SJ) as Jeep's luxury cruiser after a 1-year hiatus. Though much more aerodynamic than the SJ, it's obviously less rounded than its replacement, the WJ.

~ WJ - As the more bubble-shaped, aerodynamic replacement for the ZJ, it continues the Grand Cherokee name ('98- 2004).

~ WK – The latest version of the Grand Cherokee offers a less rounded look, in favor of angles and straight lines. Hemi engine is optional and offers impressive performance (2005 – Present)

~ MJ - The Comanche pickup ('84-'91). It shares much in common with the XJ of that era, including its unibody chassis. It replaced the full-size Gladiator and J-truck pickups of the SJ era.

~ DJ-3A - Dispatcher (postal) version of the CJ-3A, made '56-65. Only 2-wheel drive versions were available.

~ DJ-5 - Dispatcher (postal) version of the CJ-5, made '65-87 by Jeep and then AM General. Only 2-wheel drive versions were available. A DJ-6 (long, like the CJ-6) was also made from '65-68.

~ VJ - The Jeepster ('48-50) was an attempt by Willys to spice up their vehicle lineup. 2WD, 72hp, and poor marketing doomed it to be discontinued after less than three years.

~ C-101 - The Jeepster Commando ('66-73) was an attempt by Kaiser to compete with the Bronco and Toyota Land Cruiser. The C101 was part CJ and part Wagoneer, advertised as a "happy combo, racy and rugged." This time around it had 4WD, and came in convertibles, hardtop wagons, and half-cab pickups.

~ FC - Forward Control pickups, with the cab directly above the engine. Made '57-'63.
