CJ? ... DJ? ... YJ? What do those mean?

That's a question that gets asked a lot by newcomers to the Jeep world.

The terms that Jeep-people use are actually the first two letters of the body style designation assigned by Jeep to each major body style revision. Below an overview of the most well-known models.

MILITARY MODELS

MA

The original prototype Jeep submitted by Willys-Overland for the military contract in 1940. "M" stood for "military"; "A" for the first model.

MB

The revised model first mass-produced by Willys-Overland for the military in '40-'45. "B" stood for the second model.

GP

The original prototype Jeep submitted by Ford for the military contract in 1940. "G" indicated government issue; "P" indicated an 80" wheelbase reconnaissance vehicle.

GPW

The revised model first mass-produced by Ford for the military in '40-'45. It is virtually identical to the MB (the "W" stood for "Willys' design").

M38

The next generation military Jeep by Willys ('50-'52), similar to the civilian CJ-3A. Like all of the above models, it was a flat-fender style.

M38A1

Basically the military version of the CJ-5 ('52-'71). Unlike the CJ-5, it had the front shackles behind the springs instead of up front.

M170

Similar to a military version of the CJ-6. 4155 of them were made in the mid-50's and early-60's.

M422

The M422 "Mighty Mite" was manufactured by AMC (American Motors) for the U.s. Marine Corp. It featured an AMC V-4 air-cooled engine, which propelled it to a top speed of 55 MPH. With al all aluminum body, it weighed only 1700 pounds. 

M151

The M151 "Mutt" (Military Unit Tactical Truck) was tested and prototyped by Ford throughout the 1950s. It was manufactured by Willys Motors (later Kaiser Jeep), AM General, General Motors, and Ford. This Vietnam-era Jeep featured a split windshield and a horizontally-slotted stamped steel front grille.

M-715

A 5/4-ton military pickup built '67-69. It somewhat resembles a J-truck (SJ), only bigger and badder. The M-725 was the ambulance version of the M-715.

UNIVERSAL MODELS

CJ

The first civilian version of the military-inspired short-wheelbase Jeep, made '42-'86. Encompasses everything from flat-fenders to Scramblers. Like many other early Jeep designations, "CJ" actually stands for something: Civilian Jeep. Various numbers followed the CJ designation, indicating different body styles within the CJ line:

CJ-2A

A flat-fender, very similar to the military MB ('45-'49) except that the headlights bulge out of the grill instead of being inset.

CJ-3A

A flat-fender, very similar to the military M38 ('48-'53).

CJ-3B

A flat-fender, the top of its hood sits 4" higher above the fenders than the 3A to clear the new F-head engine ('52-'68).

CJ-4

Only one prototype is known to exist. It looks like a 50/50 mix of a CJ-3A and a CJ-5, with only slightly-rounded fenders.

CJ-5

The civilian version of the M38A1, but with the front shackles under the bumper like most other models. 81" ('55-'71) or 84" ('72-'83) wheelbase. Front fenders are rounded like all subsequent short-wheelbase Jeeps. Easily distinguished from the CJ-7 by a small doorway with a rounded, sloping rear edge.

CJ-6

Essentially a CJ-5 that was stretched 20" ('58-'75), intended for use as a small pickup.

CJ-7

A compromise between the CJ-5 and CJ-6, having a 93.4" wheelbase (like the YJ and TJ). The body tub is very similar to the YJ and TJ, but the rear wheel wells are round instead of angular. Made '76-'86.

CJ-8

Also called a "Scrambler." Similar to a CJ-7, but with an extra 10" of wheelbase and an even longer rear overhang. Like the CJ-6, it was intended as a small pickup, but never really found its niche. Only 27,000 were made from '81-'86. Commonly seen with half-cab tops that surround only the front seats.

CJ-10

A more truck-like Jeep built mainly for export from '81-'85. A small number were also sold to the US Air Force for use in pulling aircraft around runways. These Jeeps had very stout drivetrains compared with their smaller brethren. Easily distinguished by the square headlights in the fenders and the 10-slat grille.

DJ-3A

Dispatcher (postal) version of the CJ-3A, made '56-'65. Only 2-wheel drive versions were available.

DJ-5

Dispatcher (postal) version of the CJ-5, made '65-'75 by Jeep and then AM General. Only 2-wheel drive versions were available.

DJ-6

Extended version of the DJ-5, similar to the CJ-6, but with 2WD like the DJ-5. Made from '65-'68.

JEEPSTER MODELS

VJ

The Jeepster ('48-'50) was an attempt by Willys to spice up their vehicle lineup. 2WD, 72hp, and poor marketing doomed it to be discontinued after less than three years.

C-101

The Jeepster Commando ('66-'73) was an attempt by Kaiser to compete with with the Bronco and TLC. The C101 was part CJ and part Wagoneer, advertised as a "happy combo, racy and rugged." This time around it had 4WD, and came in convertibles, hardtop wagons, and half-cab pickups.

PICKUP MODELS

FC

Forward Control pickups, with the cab directly above the engine. Made '57-'63.

MJ

The Comanche pickup ('84-'91). It shares much in common with the XJ of that era, including its unibody chassis. It replaced the full-size Gladiator and J-truck pickups of the SJ era.

WRANGLER MODELS

YJ

The original Wrangler, made '87-'95 (though production actually continued into March of '96). Rectangular headlights make it the bastard child of the of the short-wheelbase line. Rear wheel wells are larger and more angled than the CJ-7, but otherwise the two are visually quite similar.

TJ

The second generation Wrangler, made '97-present (actually began shipping May of '96). Round headlights, coil suspension, and a much more car-like interior distinguish it from the YJ.

CHEROKEE MODELS

SJ

The full-size Cherokee ('74-'83), Wagoneer ('63-'83), Grand Wagoneer ('84-'91), and J-truck. In 1984, Jeep introduced the down-sized XJ and started calling them Cherokees and Wagoneers, leaving only the Grand Wagoneer in the SJ lineup until its demise in '91.

XJ

The down-sized Cherokee ('84-'01) and Wagoneer ('84-'89). It was (probably) the first Jeep to use a unibody chassis.

KJ

The Liberty ('02-present), which replaced the XJ in Jeep's product lineup.

ZJ

The Grand Cherokee ('93-'98), which replaced the Grand Wagoneer (SJ) as Jeep's luxury cruiser after a 1-year hiatus. Though much more aerodynamic than the SJ, it's obviously less rounded than its replacement, the WJ.

WJ

As the more bubble-shaped, aerodynamic replacement for the ZJ, it continues the Grand Cherokee name ('99-present).
