Default Longest jeep has gone with the same body style?

How many years has jeep gone in the past without changing the body style of the jeep? I know that we got the JK in 07 so we r going on 4-5 years now.

Reason I ask is because I thought about trading in my 2010 for a 2012 but I just rather wait till a new body style comes out.

How much longer should I expect to wait?

Well the TJ was 97-06 the YJ I'm sure had around 10 years the CJs all look very similar (I can't tell them apart but never got into CJs) the wrangler seems to keep a body style longer then most other vehicles.

But how long are they capable of going...?
The Cherokee went relatively unchanged for close to 20 years (84-01).

Really though...new (first year) models tend to have a few kinks to work through...price you pay for driving the latest model.
You may want to wait for the second production yer anyways.

Always been a CJ fan but two children lead me to the JK......

During its 11 years, the CJ-7 had various equipment packages:

Renegade 1976-1986 (2.4D L6-2.5-4.2-5.0 AMC 304 V8)
Golden Eagle 1976-1979 (5.0 AMC 304 V8)
Laredo 1982-1986 (2.4D-4.2 l6)
Jamboree Edition (Limited Edition 2500 models which were built for the 30th anniversary 2.5 and 4.2)
