The First Jeep Wrangler!

Did you know that AMC discontinued the 1986 CJ series to introduce the 1987 Jeep Wrangler (YJ)?

Although the Wrangler shared the familiar open-body profile of the CJ-7, it contained few common parts with its famous predecessor. In fact, mechanically, the Wrangler had more in common with the Cherokee (XJ) than the CJ-7. With the Wrangler, AMC was able to improve the comfort, ride quality and appearance while preserving the durability and unrivaled off-road prowess of the Jeep CJ-7.
