An SJ is a full size Cherokee aka an FSJ or a Grand Wagoneer. I believe the Grand Waggys were actually FSJs while the Full Size Cherokee was just an SJ.JoesXJ said:wtf is a SJ?

Im confused?
They were Wagoneers, but not grand. The full size Jeep was still being made in the 80's, and the last iteration of the original full size Wagoneer was labeled the Grand Wagoneer.mjma said:There is a point of confusion....In the mid to late 80s there were XJ cherokees that were called grand wagonners. They are XJs with a higher trim level and the funny double headlights, and horizontal slits on the grill. They usually have wood panels on the side, and I got one of my two XJ44s outa one. They're XJs though, no doubt....just the trim level (like sport, etc.) calls them grand wagonners.

It gets a little confusing, because of the way Jeep recycles names. The very first full size Jeep back in 1963 was called the Wagoneer, and remained the only one until much later, when a two door version, dubbed the Cherokee, appeared. Later they put out a 4 door full size Cherokee as well. The "grand" designation wasn't needed for either until they brought out the XJ.

I'm like "yes it's the same exact vehicle." I have to point out that as long as it does not say "full sized wagoneer" they are safe. This is one reason I never let mechanics near my rig anymore. You never know when a vo-tech dropout might be molesting your truck! (nothing against those who went to vo-tech and did well, but if you went there, you know which guys I am refering to!)
