From Jeep's web site
"The unique look of the Jeep seven-slot grille has never gone away. It's the calling card for the ultimate off-road vehicle."
Ummm.... I can remember the ZJ having 8 slot grilles for 3 years, and the XJ having 10 slots. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but do they really think they always had 7 slot grilles?
