For those Americans wondering why this Jeep is called a TJ and not a
Wrangler, it turns out that GM still holds the trademark on the Wrangler
name in Canada (GM named a pickup truck the Wrangler but no longer carries
that model), so Jeep can't use it.

got this from http://www.carleton.ca/~bcousens/JEEP.html

still dont know what the T and the J stand for....

They first made a civilian Jeep and called it a CJ. They then made one
with a soft cushy ride for the yuppies and called it a YJ or Yuppie
Jeep, then they came up with a plastic Jeep with all the bells and
whistles and called it a TJ or maybe a trendy Jeep?

Well, yes that is true in Canada. However, the vehicle _is_ called a
Wrangler in the US. Internally, the model designation is a TJ while the
first post CJ7 era Wrangler is internally designated the YJ. Avid
Jeepers choose to use these designations to differentiate between the
models and also because we just plain like 'em. Much like Porsche fans
use many 9XX model designations to differentiate between the various 911
variations over the years.

I thought it stood for "True Jeep" and was a cruel joke by the creators in
order to try and cause Bill to explode from agony?

So it's not Ford that holds the Wrangler name in Canada like I had been
told years ago?

I've always understood it to be GM, I believe they use(d) the name Wrangler
for a small pickep truck, possible the S-10 equivalent.
