The Wrangler (also known as the YJ, TJ, and JK, as explained below) is a compact four-wheel drive in the sport utility vehicle segment produced by American automaker Chrysler under its Jeep marque. It is a successor to the famous World War II 'Jeep' vehicle by way of the Willys civilian Jeep (CJ) in the 1950s, later produced by Kaiser-Jeep and by American Motors (AMC). The Wrangler debuted in 1987, was revised in 1997 and again in 2007, and is still popular today. A defining feature of all Wranglers is that they continue to use live axles both front and rear like their forefather, the CJ.

From 1987 until 1992 the Wrangler/YJ was built in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. It was then built in the Toledo South Assembly plant until mid-2006, after which the plant was slowly torn down. The Wrangler is currently produced at Jeep's Toledo North Assembly plant in Toledo, Ohio.

Instead, 1987 to 1995 models were sold as YJ, 1997 to 2006 models were TJ's with a subcategory from 2004 to 2006 of "Unlimited" Wranglers known as LJ's, and from 2007 to today as the JK. The model designations 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" and help identify specifics about Wranglers.

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 classic CJ's round headlamps. The engine is the same 4.0 L AMC 242 Straight-6 used in the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. A 2.5 L AMC 150 Inline-4 motor was available on entry-level models until 2003 when the 2.4 L DOHC Neon 4-cylinder engine replaced it.

A right hand drive version of the TJ was available for export markets, and was also offered for sale to US rural route postal carriers. The version offered to US postal carriers was only available with an automatic transmission.

In 1999 the fuel tank became standard at 19 gallon capacity. There were some changes that occurred between 2002 and 2003 years that have caused some parts difficult to directly swap back and forth and also made it easy to identify certain years. From 1997 to 2002 the side door mirrors were black metal framed mirrors and from 2003 to 2006 they were plastic molded mirrors. The fit of hard and soft tops is slightly different, and the fabric and colors available changed from 2002 to 2003. In 2003 the 3-speed automatic transmission was replaced with a 4 speed automatic with overdrive. It has the standard option of turning off overdrive by dash switch if desired. The radio bezels went from a rectangle in 2002 to a rounded edged rectangle in 2003 so swapping these required the console to swap as well or be modified.The sound bar inside changed to sound pods. The interior seats also changed design from 2002 to 2003 going from a rounder model to one with a distinct separation between back and headrest areas. There are other changes as well, too many to list here.

The standard skid plate was also revised for 2003 to make room for the Rubicon's bigger NP241 transfer case. The change from the 30/32RH to the 42RLE also gained an additional skid plate. This is appropriately named the "shovel" for its uncanny ability to scoop up any mud/sand/snow/ice you are going over.
