I didn't know that. I found it interesting that the cross-reference
book at the parts store said "Wrangler" and also listed "TJ (Canada)".

They are the first two characters of the body code. You will only see
it on paperwork for a new Wrangler or perhaps also on the sticker on
the driver's door panel.

Some people like calling it a TJ because it differentiates from the
first generation Wrangler, designated "YJ", and probably also because
it is shorter than "Wrangler". When I went to the parts department at
a local dealer, the counter guy wrote "TJ" in the space for "model" on
my order form.

Microsoft encrypts your Windows NT password when stored on a Windows CE
device. But if you look carefully at their encryption algorithm, they
simply XOR the password with "susageP", Pegasus spelled backwards.
Pegasus is the code name of Windows CE. This is so pathetic it's
staggering.
