Jeep's heritage dates back to World War II with the Willys MB, establishing its reputation for ruggedness, off-road capability, and utilitarian design.

Model Evolution

Tj Generation:

The TJ Wrangler (1997-2006) marked a significant departure from its YJ predecessor by reintroducing the iconic round headlights and, crucially, adopting coil spring suspension for all four wheels, enhancing both ride comfort and articulation over rough terrain.

Tj Updates 2006:

The 2006 model year represented the final year of the TJ generation. Minor updates included revised interior trim and potential availability of the NSG-370 6-speed manual, replacing the older NV3550 in many configurations.

Production Location:

Toledo, Ohio, USA

Model Production Years:

1997-2006

🏆 Awards & Recognition

Recognitions

Off Road Accolades:

Consistently praised by off-road publications and enthusiasts for its class-leading off-road capability, particularly Rubicon models.

Ratings
