They first made a civilian Jeep and called it a CJ. They then made one with a soft cushy ride for the yuppies and called it a YJ or Yuppie Jeep, then they came up with a plastic Jeep with all the bells and whistles and called it a TJ or maybe a trendy Jeep?

I thought it stood for "True Jeep" and was a cruel joke by the creators in order to try and cause Bill to explode from agony?
Maybe the next model will be called the "RJ!"
I didn't know that. I found it interesting that the cross-reference book at the parts store said "Wrangler" and also listed "TJ (Canada)".
They are the first two characters of the body code. You will only see it on paperwork for a new Wrangler or perhaps also on the sticker on the driver's door panel.
Or the BJ ( Bill Jeep ) ?

What is a TJ?
Well, it is a car, sort of. Not a car so much as a truck. But that is not really telling the whole story. It is perhaps the most capable 4WD vehicle in the history of the universe, or at least since WWII. It is a transportation system. Well, it is a recreational transportation system, to be more accurate. OK, some will use it as a primary means of transportation, some use it strictly in recreation. This group leans towards recreation, but we have our share of daily drivers as well. But, in a TJ, even the commute can become recreation. I once worked only 8 miles from my house, and it often took me well in excess of an hour to get home, only 15 minutes to get there, but an hour to get home. And, there was no traffic on the homeward bound trip. Well, there was traffic where other went, but none where I went.
A TJ is a way of life. Flannel shirts and long underwear, unless it is summer. Then a TJ might be tshirt and shorts. A TJ is almost always boots, no matter what is above the knees.
A TJ is many things my friend. What would you like it to be?
Bullshit
