YJ

AMC introduced the Jeep YJ, known as the Wrangler, in 1987. It was a redesign of the CJ to include comfortable features and a new dashboard. It was also lower and wider, and had other style changes such as square headlights, side-opening tailgates and turn signal lights. Safety features such as a larger wheelbase and extended sports bar were added in the 1990s. Also added were soft-tops, engine choices, air-conditioning and other options, and the model became more common for on-road use. The last one was produced in 1995. This model was Not so popular among people which might be the reason to stop its production.

CJ


The first type of civilian Jeep, The CJ, was introduced as a work horse for farmers and construction workers. It was produced by Willys-Overland in 1945 and was the first of its kind. Its engine was the same as the military Jeep, a four-cylinder MB model. This first Jeep had large headlights, a side-mounted spare tire and an external fuel cap as well as other features that were also on military models. Different versions were produced in 1948 and 1953. Kaiser purchased the company in 1953 and added a six-cylinder engine, improved horsepower and other features that made the CJ more of an off-road vehicle than a utilitarian one. The V-8 engine was added when American Motors bought the company in 1970, and other models were introduced. Along the way, manufacturers changed, but the CJ remained influential. The power of engines  define the limits of the  Jeep and this was were modified to experiment the new outcome from the model to check out which model will Attract more people to Buy it. Basically so powerful engines were not avalaible  in common model. It were made on demand and person can add modification according to its budget

Types of Jeeps


Jeeps were developed for U.S. Army use in World War II. Returning soldiers wanted civilian counterparts of the go-anywhere, almost-indestructible vehicles they had used in the war, so companies such as Willys, Kaiser, American Motors and Chrysler produced non-military versions. Many types of Jeeps exist, and for maintenance, knowing the type is important. Classification is primarily based on year of production, but other factors enter into the equation. It further classified into these types:


1. Military Models:

Most 4-passenger jeeps built after World War II have the prefix "M" followed by a model number. Jeep wagons, trucks, and ambulances were also built. The Ford Jeep model M151, called the "MUTT" for "Military Utility Tactical Truck," was first used in the Vietnam War. Military Jeeps were modified to carry anti-tank, anti-aircraft and other artillery as well as firefighting equipment.The Chrysler Jeep Wrangler has a military version, the J8.
