Hi All, off-topic question about the XJ. I'm working on expanding the Jeep Database website, and I'm gonna add some models outside the core jeep lineage. Right now, here's the list of models I'm considering:

XJ Cherokee
FC-150 Forward Control
VJ Willys Jeepster
C-101 Jeepster Commando
M-422 Mighty Mite (non-Jeep jeep)
M-151 (non-Jeep jeep)

The question is, if I'm gonna add one or two versions of the XJ, which year/trim is the most emblematic of the Cherokee? Right now I'm thinking the OG Cherokee Pioneer 2- and 4-door from 1984-1986, and maybe one later model. Any advice or suggestions? Post pics if you can.

Here's the one I'm thinking of:

Great looking rig @m998dna are those original wheels?

After researching some more, gonna add the MJ Comanche to the mix too; that might be enough along with the 2-and 4-door XJ...

Yes, factory wheels with 31s.

You should probably add the J4000, J20's too before the non jeep jeeps.

I've added these to the list, thanks for the tip. Right now I'm thinking I might build a second family tree for the pickup trucks. The OG Willys pickup was a great-looking rig.

This is a great-looking XJ; very subtle visual changes from the OG model, but all for the positive.
