For those interested in Jeep history, the History Channel did a program on the History of the 4 Wheel Drive that had a good section on the original Jeep. You might be able to find another show time on their website.

Deciphering the model code:
Example model Code: JKJS74
Digit 1 & 2 combined is the platform code, not necessarily that it is a Wrangler. Proof of this is that the MK model includes both the Compass and Patriot. So eventually they could build a JK that is not a Wrangler.
3rd Digit designates 2 or 4 Wheel Drive
T = 2WD
J = 4WD
4th Digit designates the model
L = 2 door X
M = 4 door X
P = Sahara
S = Rubicon
5th Digit designates the body style
7 = SUV
6th Digit designates body model
4 = 4 Door
2 = 2 Door

My answer, from a similar thread:
CJ = "Civilian Jeep"
YJ = “Yuppy Jeep” or “You’ve-gotta-be-kidding: SQUARE headlights on a Jeep?!?!”
TJ = “True Jeep” or “Tough Jeep” (a return to the “classic” Jeep)
JK = “Jeep King” (i.e. the best there’s ever been
) or “Jeep Killer” (if you listen to the ignorant, jealous purists out there that think it’s a minivan
).

If you read the initial post about GP being slurred (kinda like a drunk GI trying to find their vehicle after a night of leave!! haha), and you throw in JK....
JoKe??
Lol... I hope that never happens but it's the 1st thing I thought of when I heard wind of the new name. I thought "sheese! this could be ugly!!" lol.
My sis and a good friend both drive FJs and I always joke around and call em 'FAKE JEEPS' or 'derogatory term for homosexual Jeep'

So, not being a rocket scientist, just a brain surgeon (and only occasionally), why didn't they make any sense with the letters. If 6 tells how many doors, why does 4 also tell how many doors (but only for the X)? If I were doing it, digits 1-3 and 5-6 would stay the same, but 4 would be X=X, S=Sahara, R=Rubicon. Instead of what they did. But that's just me.
Because then a caveman could do it.
