However, the TJ's design wasn't solely focused on off-road prowess. It offered a comfortable and spacious interior, with features like a removable roof and doors, allowing for a truly open-air driving experience. The TJ's versatility and practicality, coupled with its iconic Jeep styling, made it an instant success and a popular choice for both off-road enthusiasts and daily drivers alike.
