This is by no means all the models, but a good start on the ones you will most likely see on the road... and no I didn't include the Compass or Patriot... they aren't real Jeeps.

I also left out the FSJs because I ran out of time...

CJ: 1944-1986 (removable top and doors, round headlights and blinker, rounded hood, and round rear fenders)


YJ Wrangler: 1987-1995 (removable top and doors, square headlights and blinkers, flat top rear fenders)


TJ Wrangler: 1997-2006 (removable top and doors, round headlights, square blinkers in fenders, Coil spring suspension front and rear)


JK Wrangler: 2007- Current


XJ Cherokee: 1984-2001 (non removable top or doors, square headlights)


KJ Liberty: 2001-2007


KK Liberty: 2008-Current


ZJ Grand Cherokee: 1993-1998


WJ Grand Cherokee: 1999-2004


WK Grand Cherokee: 2005-2010


WK2 Grand Cherokee: 2011-Current

I kinda like the newer body style. But I agree. The ZJ has less computer and electric crap to deal with unlike the newer grands...
