From 1987 until 1992 the Wrangler/YJ was built in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Brampton (pronounced bramton is the third-largest city in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada and the seat of Peel Region. Today the Wrangler is produced at Jeep's Toledo North Assembly plant in Toledo, Ohio. The Toledo Complex is an Automobile factory in Toledo Ohio. It is currently owned by Chrysler, but has been in operation as an automobile assembly plant This article is about the city in Ohio, USA. For Toledo Spain, see that article When Wrangler production ended at Toledo South Assembly Plant in mid 2006, the plant was slowly torn down. As of early 2008, only the chimney stack saying "Overland" remains. A chimney is a system for venting hot Flue gases or Smoke from a Boiler, Stove, Furnace or Fireplace to the outside

The Wrangler name was not used in Canada, as it was a trim level of Chevrolet pickup in that market. Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page Instead, 1987 to 1995 models were sold as YJ, and 1997 to 2006 models were sold as TJ. The model designations of YJ and TJ are used throughout the world in the Jeep enthusiast community to differentiate which model is being spoken of instead of using the more ambiguous term "Wrangler".

The Jeep YJ, sold as the Wrangler, replaced the much-loved but slower-selling Jeep CJ in 1987 and was built in Brampton, Ontario, Canada until the plant closed on April 23, 1992.

Ride height ( ground clearance or simply clearance is the amount of space between the base of an automobile Tire and the underside of the Chassis; or more The YJ also had a leaf spring suspension similar to that of the CJ, however, the springs were wider, and the YJs sported trackbars and swaybars for added handling. YJs are easily identifiable by their rectangular headlights, which were a source of controversy when introduced. Despite the new grill, the body is very similar to the CJ's, and it is interchangeable with some minor modifications. Many CJ owners with a rusted body replace them with a newer YJ body, they are almost cosmetically identical and the lines from the nose match up perfectly. 632,231 YJs were built through model year 1995, though YJs were still produced into mid '96 bringing the total production number to 685,071 units.

In 1994, the slave cylinder on manual transmissions was moved outside of the transmission's bellhousing to allow for easier replacement, and in 1995 larger U-joints were used.

YJ Wrangler Renegade

From 1991 until 1994, Jeep produced an options package on the YJ Wrangler listed as the "Renegade Decor Group". Initially, all Renegades were White, Black or Red. In 1992, Blue was added, in 1993, Bronze. The Renegade Decor Group was a $4,266. 00 option over a base Wrangler in 1991 and included special alloy wheels, exclusive body flares, along with many other features.

Contents of the Renegade Decor Package

• 4. 0 Litre (242 CID) I-6 Engine
• 29x9. 5R15 LT OWL Wrangler A/T Tires
• 5-Hole Aluminum Wheels, 8 inch wide.
• Full size spare tire.
• Highback seats with Trailcloth Fabric
• Off-Road Gas Shocks
• Power Steering
• Fog Lamps (integrated into the front fenders)
• Leather wrapped steering wheel
• Renegade striping (door letters)
• Floor carpeting (full width, and on insides of body tub)
• Floor mats, front
• Extra capacity fuel tank (20 US gal. A steering wheel (also called a driving wheel or hand wheel) is a type of steering Control in Vehicles and vessels ( Ships and Boats )
• Color Keyed Fender Flares with integrated bodyside steps
• Front and rear bumperettes (plastic)
• Center console with cup holders
• Courtesy and engine compartment lights
• Interval Wipers
• Glove box lock

Additionally, hardtops received a mandatory rear window defroster at a $164. A cup holder is a device to hold a cup or other drinking vessel 00 premium. Hardtops themselves were a $923. 00 option.

All Renegades typically had the Tilt Steering wheel ($130. 00) and an AM/FM/Cassette Stereo Radio ($264. 00).

A column shift automatic was also an available option (this option was rare).

While a base Wrangler with the inline 6 went for $12,356. 00, the Renegade package pushed that price up to $18,588. 00 in 1991. Dealer mark-up moved the price to $19,273. 00.

These vehicles were sent as optioned Wranglers to Auto Style Cars in Detroit, where the Renegade Decor Package was installed, then shipped back to Jeep for delivery to dealers. Renegades all have a small sticker on the driver's side door, right above the latch denoting the visit to ASC.

At the price premium over a standard Wrangler, sales were fairly limited, so finding one today is a semi-rare occurrence. The price, plus what hardcore Jeepers felt were "funny looking plastic fenders" limited the sales. Although having nearly identical off-road capabilities, these Jeep were typically used as "beach cruisers" because of both their price and rarity, as well as the fact that their over sized flares and body cladding were not designed for the abuse that tree branches and over sized tires can deal out.

Trims

North American YJ/Wrangler were available in the following standard trims.

• Base (also referred to as "S" & "SE" at different points in the model run; first few years the back seat and rear bumperettes were optional, some years the 6cyl engine was an option, other years only the 4cyl was available in the "Base" model)
• Laredo (Chrome grille, bumpers, and trim, hard top and hard full doors, tinted windows, faux leather interior, body color fender flares and alloy wheels)
• Islander (which included "Sunset" Islander graphics and body colored wheel flares)
• Sport (which featured "sport" graphics and, beginning in 1991, a 4. 0 L 242 CID inline-6 cylinder engine)
• Sahara (which came standard with most available options, including body color fender flares and alloy wheels)
• Renegade (which ran until 1994, and featured a similar option package as Sahara, but added premium wheels, deluxe interior group as well as oversized "Renegade" wheel flares and body cladding)
• Rio Grande (Available in champagne gold, moss green and white, with a Pueblo themed interior trim package, this trim was only available in 1995 and was added to spice up the base model Wrangler 'S' hence this trim was only available with the 4-cylinder models)

The YJ gave way to the TJ for the 1997 model year (note that there was no 1996 model year; the 1997 TJ was released in Spring 1996). This updated Wrangler featured a coil-spring suspension (based on that of the Jeep Grand Cherokee) for better ride and handling, and a return to the CJ's iconic round headlamps. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a Mid-size unibody Sport utility vehicle produced by the Jeep division of Chrysler.

Other changes included the 1999 additions of a larger standard fuel tank, child seat tethers and sound system improvements in 2000, and a new console, steering wheel, and a revised dashboard for 2001. 2002 saw other minor changes including new colors, along with available wheel styles.

This next-generation Wrangler was significantly larger than the existing model, with a 2 inch (50. 8 mm) longer wheelbase and 3. 4 inch (86. 4 mm) wider track, though the two door model is actually 2. 5 inches shorter in the overall length than the TJ, allowing for better approach and departure angles. With a larger available standard tire size of 32 in, breakover angle is unchanged.

Some Wrangler enthusiasts decried this new vehicle's larger size, claiming that it runs counter to the character of the Wrangler, and is too big to be an effective off-road vehicle. [1] Similar complaints were expressed during previous redesigns. Jeep reportedly sought to cement the Wrangler's position as the marque's most-rugged vehicle as new car-based crossover SUVs took some of Jeep's on-road market share.
