Today as I was looking through another form and saw this...
I think we should make this required reading for all New Jeep Form Members.
It would make life much easier for them to understand the threads.

BS or Back Spacing. backspacing, distnace from the mounting flange of a wheel to the inner edge (rim) of the wheel. i.e. larger BS will cause the wheel to sit "into the fender" more, smaller BS will cause the wheel to "stick out" more. Absolutely necessary to determine proper wheel and tire combination
BTT-back to top
BTW-by the way
CAT-catayltic converter
CB-citizen band radio
CJ-Jeep Wrangler's Older Model Years. "Civilian Jeep"
CJ-2A-Civilian version of the MB, split windshield

DW-death wobble. Side to side movement of the front axle that causes the Jeep to shake violently. Most common on lifted ZJ's before a wheel alignment has been done. Can be caused by worn steering stabilizer, improper wheel alignment, or worn front suspension components.

M38A1-Military version of the CJ-5
MA-Willys SWB 4x4 built under govt contract.
MAF-mass air flow sensor. Measures airflow coming into your engine in front of the throttlebody. Uses a form of resistor that is cooled by the air passing by it and mathematically determines the "mass" of the air coming into the engine. These are traditionally bottle necks for heavy breathing engines as they often have a screen in them to protect the measuring element. There are many different designs and high performance large capacity ones out there. These are a big headache for GM owners but Jeep has stayed with MAP
MAP-manfold absolute pressure. A sensor that tells the computer how much air is flowing into your engine. Eliminates the need for a MAF sensor but is less responsive than one.
MB-The MA was quickly replaced with the MB... used throughout WWII.
