Is the 2005 X the same as the TJ?
OK, before I get bashed, I don't own a Jeep; used to have an '89 CJ7, but
that was years ago. OK, the reason for my question. I purchased a set of
aftermarket Nerf side steps for my daughters '04 Wrangler X, but the bars
are way too long. The bracket, depending on which way you position the step,
will hang past the body mount bracket on either end.
Part number of the bars: 564462. I purchased the set from a local dealer in
Virginia Beach. I searched the net and found that the steps are for a '97 to
'99 TJ, which says bolt on. But these are custom drilling required. Is the X
the same animal as the TJ??
Thanks,
Tom

Yes, TJ is the model designation for the later style Wrangler(97+).

Re: Is the 2005 X the same as the TJ?
The Wrangler X is one of the many models of TJ.
All I can think is that after 99, the TJ's frame rails changed, and you need
Nerf bars for later than 99. Having said that, I wasn't aware that there was
a change.
