It looked a lot like a CJ-7, with the classic door shape that featured a rounded rear edge of the window frame, but underneath was a new four-link suspension cribbed from the Grand Cherokee.
Eventually an overdrive automatic transmission made its way onto the option sheet, as did a six-speed manual. The TJ also marked the debut of the Rubicon trim, bringing selectable front and rear locking differentials and Dana 44 axles along with a unique transfer case with low range.
Thus was born the most capable factory Wrangler up to that point. After a year run, the TJ was succeeded by the JK Wrangler, which brought a four-door model, the Wrangler Unlimited, for the first time.
The inline-six was gone, replaced with a 3. Wrangler Unlimited sales took off, leaving the two-door in the dust. That trend continues with the JL Wrangler, introduced for Both the two-door and four-door models of the latest generation have evolved the basic Jeep recipe by adding further optional luxuries, so they each make a more practical family truckster than the previous work hardened models. With improved interiors and more creature comforts, JK and JL Wrangler generations make fewer compromises for a daily driver and are still excellent platforms for rock-crawlers or more mild trail and camping rigs, yet we still feel the TJ is the sweet spot.
It has better ride quality and off-road performance than the YJ—thanks to the four-link front and rear suspension it adapted from the Grand Cherokee—while maintaining many classic CJ characteristics.

Jeep launched it with the model year and wrapped it up with the model. The fastest way to tell it apart from the other Jeeps is to look for the square headlights. In , the YJ introduced an important change with fuel injection, boosting fuel efficiency and reliability. The TJ reworked the off-roader once more, introducing a number of key changes.
Coil springs were also added to the vehicle, departing from the fat spring suspension on the YJ, greatly improving the ride quality. In other words, for overall comfort both on the road and even on trails, the TJ is superior. The TJ also offers more flex, making it a better option for rock crawling, while the YJ is more likely to be caught with at least one tire in the air. The TJ ran all the way through the model year. A big change came to the TJ in , called the Rubicon.
