wranglers 25 yr aniversity

[hamrtime]

does 25 yrs old mean the earliest wranglers are now antiques ?

[hps4evr]

if my math is correct the wrangler isnt 25 years old yet, 1987?

[hamrtime]

yeah good point

i was going with the idea of sept <this year> is model <next year>

so

sept 86 (=1987) 87 88 89 90
sept 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00
sept 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 ( =2011 )
 
would be the start of the 25 th year

?

Lets hope they have something cool planned for next year? I could use a new Jeep next year.

But there was no '96 Wrangler

well, 1996 was a funny year. i believe they were selling off the last of the 1995 yj's and brought in the 1997 tj half way through the year. so its kind of a blend year. or thats what ive heard that makes the most sense.

[hamrtime]

surfing around the internet yj series wranglers were rolling off the assembly line in 1986 as 87's,
10 years later they retooled for the tj series wranglers ... so i am sticking w/my monkey math
above,  i think we are entering the 25th year

"aniversity" ?   You mean anniversary  

"Wrangler" is just a model name, it's a Jeep, and just because it has square headlights, I don't think it restarts the Jeep manufacturing clock.

Wasn't the 2006 the 65th anniversary edition ? I don't think a 25th anniversary is in the future.


Eg. I am 24 years old. Just because I got braces, glasses and a haircut when I was 10 doesn't now make me 14 again  

[hamrtime]

frenchy are you trying to tell us your 24 and dont like square headlights 

i drive a square headlight jeep and i luv it ...

along the jeep timeline there are a number of groupings within though changes
were many ,  like the cj series 1941-1971 ... those jeepers are proud of their series

wranglers deserve the same , when we're all hobbling around in walkers the
wrangler will get a grouping as well thats the only clock this post is jumping ,
 the cj history is pretty clear - but the wrangler history from the posts above is a
little unclear ...
