Stupid Question

[Dapip]

What is KJ??? I feel utterly ridiculous asking this but...had to be done!

 

[2003KJ]

Every Jeep gets a 2 letter production code at the factory. The Liberty is KJ, Cherokee's are XJ, newer Grand Cherokee'sare WJ, older grands I believe were ZJ, Newer wranglers are TJ, older ones were YJ's, and even OLDER ones were CJ's. I don't know what they stand for, I just know each one gets a production code.

Here's a neat site that has a list of most of the codes, and to what Jeep they went for. Two of them actually stand for something. CJ stands for Civilian Jeep, and DJ stands for Delievery Jeep (old postal Jeeps, that we still have around here believe it of not)

p.s. No question is a stupid question around here. Unless it comes from me, or maybe silverlib2k2.....or maybe even grogiefrog....LOL!!!

Okay Tim, then my question is, "Why does the new WK not end with a J? Hum...? (bump)

Cuz, believe it or not, they RAN OUT of *J codes!!! #-o

DJ doesn't stand for Delivery Jeep...

CJ stands for Civilian Jeep. None of the rest mean anything. They're....just....codes.

Dapip, if you look really closely around your Liberty, you're going to find that "KJ" code everywhere....literally. I'm still finding new places where "KJ" is listed months later. =D>

4X4 Liberty's are spose to be "LJ's" but "KJ's" I think stand cooler...(KJ is spose to be 4x2's)

No really, why the K? Is DC just messing with us? I'm surprised it's not a D or a C! Maybe the K is for Keep instead of Jeep? KEEP ME!! poke.gif

Actaully all Chrylser vehicles have codes, not just the Jeep. I am not sure if any other manufacturer does it. It makes it easier for techs to call into STARS the chrysler call center with questions and as far as shop service manuals etc. Instead of having a seperate maual for a Chrysler Concorde and Chrylser LHS and a Dodge Intrepid they have one and it is called the LH manual.

If you're thinking that the "K" means "IFS", like everybody on JU thinks, then you're wrong. '07 Wrangler will be TK (or JK or whatever it is), and will have a solid front axle (As seen on the Jeep Gladiator)

All the *J codes have been used... with the exception of just a couple, which were probably used with internal concepts and such.

A KJ is a KJ whether 4x4 or not. =P~ Look at your third Brake Light. LJ was something from LONG ago. (Not the Wrangler Unlimited... that's supposed to be TJ-D... TJ-L is the military version.)

KJ stands for Kia Jeep.

Oh wait this isn't JU sorry. #-o

other than various posts in JU about LJ and KJ , i have seen it somehwere on jeeps site i think...or a brochure...that it is in fact thr 4x4 Liberty is designated as LJ....

and I think other manufactureres do use letter codes for their cars..mostly based on the platform they are sitting on. (at least from what i read on car mags)
i think nissan has like FH or something like that on their altima/murano/quest...

I think all manufacturers refer to vehicles by codes or prototype names. GM uses GMX *** (where *** stands for a number, like 900, 350, etc) for their trucks, names (Epsilon, Kappa,etc) for their cars.

DCX uses two letters, and a number if necessary. Neon is PL, Ram is DR (old Ram was BR), Stratus/Sebring is JA.

Ford...uhh, I don't know anything about them. They're weird, lol.

Nissan uses two letter codes, but I don't know of any. Hyundai and Kia do as well. Honda and Toyota I'm lost on.

BTW: K sits next to L on the keyboard. hehe. I smell typo, lol.

i doubt it.....if search works on JU, type in LJ.....
it's been mentioned on more than one occassion, so i dont think it couldve been a typo

I thought the same thing (KJ/LJ) but apparently I mistaken, according to this chart:

<table border=1 cellpadding=2><tr BGCOLOR=CCCCDD><td>Name</td><td>Years made</td><td>Comments</td></tr><tr><td>BJ</td><td>Current</td><td>Beijing Jeeps - made under license to Daimler-Chrysler</td></tr><tr><td>CJ</td><td>1942-1986</td><td>4WD "Universal" Jeeps</td></tr><tr><td>DJ</td><td></td><td>Postal Jeep, 2WD, model numbering similar to the CJ series.</td></tr><tr><td>FC</td><td></td><td>This is a difficult one to explain, since it's so ungainly.</td></tr><tr><td>FJ</td><td></td><td>Wrong group, you've got a Toyota. </td></tr><tr><td>GP or GPW</td><td>WWII</td><td>WWII US Military designation for 80" Wheelbase, 1/4-ton 4wd reconnaissance car</td></tr><tr><td>KJ</td><td>2002-present</td><td>"Liberty" replacement for the XJ Cherokee</td></tr><tr><td>LJ</td><td>2004 1/2-present</td><td>Wrangler unlimited - Same basic layout as a TJ Wrangler, but with an additional 15" body length including 10" longer wheelbase.
