Q: What is a TJ, YJ, or CJ?
A: A quick rundown:
A JK is a Wrangler with a model year of 2007+ and has round headlights and a coil suspension.
A TJ is a Wrangler with a model year of 1997-2006 and has round headlights and a coil suspension.
A YJ is a Wrangler from 1987 to 1995 (there was no 1996 model, just a early '97 TJ) with square headlights and a leaf spring suspension.
A CJ is any Short wheel base (SWB) Jeep with removable doors and top prior to that. They had round headlights and a leaf spring suspension. CJ's came in several models, the most common are CJ5, CJ7, and CJ8, but there are others.
TJ's and YJ's are referred to as "Wranglers" (in the U.S.A., not Canada).
TJ and YJ do not stand for anything, just a Jeep model designation.
CJ does stand for Civilian Jeep.
There are other differences, but this is the very short version.
