Default JK or KJ

Was talking to a factory rep yesterday when my wife and I picked up her '07 KJ that had some routine maintenance done, and he noticed we drove up in my JK...anyway, he asked how we liked our Jeeps, and went on to ask if I ever thought about why my JK was not called a KJ, and I responded that I did think about it, and probably because the Liberty was given that privilege...he said exactly...our beloved JK's should have been called the KJ, following the CJ, YJ (yech) and TJ...just thought I'd share.

My wife has a Lib, too. I always thought jeep shot their wad with the KJ designation, but to flip it around? Lot's of other letters in the alphabet they could have chosen from. Just glad they didn't pick BJ...

That makes sense. I always wondered why they didn't follow up the tradition of putting the "J" at the end.

Why not? I'm sure they'd get all kinds of guys lining up for BJs.

I'm guessing lots of orwas involved with the decision for JK. It's not like they were going in any order anyway.

Well I have both a KJ and a JK. Or is it JK and KJ. Or a KK and a JJ. And my initials are JK. So it's JK's KJ and JK's JK. Or JJJ's KK... No, don't go there. Did I mention that I am dyslexic. So I never know which Jeep I'm in!
