I think they were looking for a better definition for the use of lets say XJ. Like if there was a more real reason then just using random letters with a J at the end. But otherwise what you guys found was cool.
P.S watch out with that Mako Offroad site. I heard some real bad reviews. Just thought I would throw that out there as well.

Deciphering the model code:
Example model Code: JKJS74
Digit 1 & 2 combined is the platform code, not necessarily that it is a Wrangler. Proof of this is that the MK model includes both the Compass and Patriot. So eventually they could build a JK that is not a Wrangler.
3rd Digit designates 2 or 4 Wheel Drive
T = 2WD
J = 4WD
4th Digit designates the model
L = 2 door X
M = 4 door X
P = Sahara
S = Rubicon
5th Digit designates the body style
7 = SUV
6th Digit designates body model
4 = 4 Door
2 = 2 Door

IIRC The name Jeep came about because the first government military vehicles that were made by both *****'s and later also made by Ford, had the designation GP for General Purpose vehicle or pronounced Jeep for short.
When CJ's came out that designation stood for Civilian Jeep
