Why do I hate calling it a "Wrangler"?

When I say I have a Jeep and people ask what kind. I always say a "Jeep Jeep" or a "real Jeep"

My JK is my second...ahem, Jeep... I don't ever call it a wrangler. Even my friends don't. When we see a bad ass rig on the road they'll point it out saying, check out that Jeep... I'll also call it my truck... and despite the flaming that may come, I'll call it my car before wrangler.

All used models imported from USA. Chrysler Canada was not able to use this copyright name (owned by GMC) before 2007

Many many used cars are imported from USA, because it's much cheaper.

If you see "Wrangler" before 2007: sold in USA
If you see "TJ": sold in Canada by Chrysler

Also autotrader uses Wrangler name on any years

Here a few Canadian TJ's ("TJ" written under or over "Jeep")
