There wasn't a 1996 Jeep WRANGLER.
The Civilian Jeep or CJ was put to pasture in 1987. The "new" jeep was born and named Wrangler. The YJ Jeep Wrangler is a smaller, lighter, and has square headlights. Jeepers of the world said "Nay!" on square headlights. Hence, after the last YJ with square headlights was created the YJ was no longer made. The TJ Jeep Wrangler is mostly the same Jeep but it has round headlights.
THEY ARE INITIALS FOR WRANGLER MODELS
Jeep Wrangler TJ and YJ are the initials for Wrangler models. As per the official information disclosed by Jeep, TJ and YJ don't essentially mean anything, though many of the Jeep fans strongly believe that TJ stands for "tough Jeep", YJ for "yuppie Jeep", CJ for "Civilian Jeep" so on and so forth.
An XJ is a Cherokee, a TJ is a Wrangler.
Not much difference between the two, the year between them pretty much equals the difference out. If there is a difference in motors it may make a difference but I would say they are even.
They are in a way the same thing. The Jeep "SPORT" is a trim package of the jeep wrangler. A Jeep "TJ" Is the frame type TJ's were made from 97(produced in 96) until 2006 when they were replaced by the jeep JK. The wrangler before 1997 was the jeep YJ. Other trim packages in the 97 to 06 years where the SE, Sport, Sahara, Rubricon.
