2016 Jeep Wrangler History

The 2016 Jeep Wrangler has a deep history that has its roots in the trusted vehicles that became an icon of World War II. As such, it has one of the most recognizable designs in the entire industry. The late 1980s saw the Jeep Wrangler move from its ancient military roots to take its place on the roads of America. With three generations of Jeep Wranglers, each one was built upon its predecessors and continued to evolve.

The YJ was the first model released as a road-ready vehicle. Offered for purchase from 1987 until 1996, it is the only model that had rectangular headlights. With a choice of either four-or six-cylinder engines that were married with an automatic or manual transmission, several packages were also available, with the Renegade being especially popular.

The second generation included the release of the TJ model which featured improvements for handling, comfort, power, and fuel economy. This model was in production from 1997 until 2006 and featured the original soft-top, two-door styling that instantly announced that it was a Jeep.

Other changes that occurred during this generation include:

• The rounded headlights that are found on the CJ models
• A replacement of the three-speed automatic transmission, with one with four speeds
• The 2003 production year saw the inclusion of a 2.4L, four-cylinder engine
• 2003 also marks the year Jeep introduced its legendary Rubicon model, so named for the rugged trail when the car maker tests its models before releasing them to production
