Jeep Wrangler Legacy

Though Jeep didn’t officially produce the “Wrangler” until 1986 with the release of the YJ platform, the model is a direct successor to the hyper-popular Jeep CJ, which ran from 1955–1986 and included the CJ-5, CJ-6, CJ-7, and CJ-8 Scrambler. These models were the direct successor to the first civilian Jeeps produced by Kaiser/Willys–civilian variants of the military Jeep MB. 

Back to the official “Wranglers”, the YJ rode on the success of the CJ, sporting a similar leaf-sprung, solid axle suspension. The Wrangler TJ was next-in-line, featuring an all-new quadralink suspension system with multi-link solid axles and the highly-acclaimed Rubicon. The immense success of the TJ carried its overall suspension design to the JK in 2007, which offered a complete redesign and two additional rear doors in the Wrangler Unlimited. The Wrangler JK persisted for over a decade until the release of the JL in 2018, which brought a sense of refinement to the platform. The Wrangler JL persists to this day, bringing us up to speed! 

The Wrangler is often viewed as the quintessential off-roader, featuring a small form factor, solid front and rear axles, and a no-nonsense, utilitarian design (up until the mid-2000s at least). The Wrangler’s devotion to off-road perfection has earned the model several awards, including: 

  • 10 consecutive SEMA "4x4/SUV of the Year" awards, until 2019

  • 2022 Four Wheeler SUV of the Year award

  • 2022 Women’s World Car of the Year award

  • Best SUV Lineup from the 2021 Newsweek Autos Awards
