The direct descendant of the wartime jeep. It replaced the CJ in 1986, at first with square headlights that upset the faithful, and went back to round ones with the coil-sprung TJ a decade later. A four-door joined the range in 2007. It still has a separate chassis, live axles and a roof and doors that come off.
