    Saw this about the new Wrangler and thought I'd share.

    Big black eye for Jeep! I haven't been following the JL news, but that's been mentioned on the Jeep truck forum I watch. Oopsie

    Gone- 2012 JK Rubicon with stuff. Long gone- Long-arm 2001 Cherokee with stuff.

    this was a recall on the RAM HD frames too a while back, same exact issue

    My Jeep VIN starts with 1J4 which indicates it is a Jeep. However, in the weld complaints above I notice the vehicles they are complaining about, which are referred to as a Wrangler JL, the VIN starts with 1C4, which indicates a Chrysler vehicle.


    So, my question is: when did Jeep VINs change from 1J4 to 1C4?
