Jeep Wrangler

MEANT TO REPLACE THE ICONIC CJ-7, the Wrangler is perhaps one of the most revered vehicles to have come out of Jeep’s stable. The Wrangler (YJ) was first shown to the world at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show and one could clearly see the distinct similarities with the CJ-7. The separate body and ladder frame construct, rigid axles at both ends, a fold-flat windshield and the absence of doors was something people were accustomed to from the Willys, and the Wrangler simply continued with the tradition. However, it now came with suspension setup, powertrain and interiors borrowed from the Cherokee, which was launched alongside the Wrangler back then.
