At 3:26 of this video they say it stands for Jeep Truck. Now that makes sense, but then I have no idea why they have a JK or JL.

They are just the 2 digit model codes now. They used to stand for stuff like the CJ and the SJ did but now they don’t.

umm, PRISETR requires people to think what letter is missing in prius to realize what you meant. Its quite close. Maybe not as fun/creative as 10SNE1 "tennis any one"?

We did BAKSHOP for our van because my wife was going to open a Bakery. So some people ask me, What's a BAK shop? And i say, its BAKE, and they go, "oh, duh I get it".

I think for you some people just won't get it, but the ones that do will lol. I think LOL should really be CTM, "chuckle to myself", because i rarely actually Laugh Out Loud.

I would teach people CTM if i was a comedian, but it'll take a celebrity to get CTM to stick, so i just conform to LOL.

When the YJ came out they called it the Yuppie Jeep, quite the insult for the 90s. There were a lot of rumors when the JK came out that weren't helped by the fact that they all listed it as the JK a few years after JK came to mean just kidding.

Jeep definitely gets to choose what codes they use, they're not totally random so I have no doubt that JT was intentionally used for the truck but they don't have as much meanning as you think because outside of nerds like us, nobody uses the codes. A CJ to an LJ are all Wranglers to your average person. They're more a code for people in the industry building cars. So much so that there was a problem when a Jeep code and a Jaguar code wear the same. You wouldn't think so as they're built a continent apart but it cost problems if I remember correctly

It must be a keep thing. All the other off road vehicles I’ve owned have been different generations. Like my 4Runner was a 5th gen. Even the new bronco is a 6th gen bronco. What gen is the Gladiator? 2?
