(I'm not sure if there is a thread with this stuff already, b/c I couldn't find one. If there is, point me to it)

I think we should have a thread for new guys (like myself) that explains some of the shorthand terms we use on the internet. For instance, I know "SOA" means "Spring Over Axle", but I can't for the life of me figure out what "SAS" means, lol. I'm sure there are others out there that don't have a clue as well. Throw in any Tech Shorthand that you guys use. I think it'd come in handy.

whoops, I quoted you :flipoff2:

CJ is not a Wrangler. The original CJ came out in the 40's, its the "civilian" version of the military Jeep. Rumor has it that CJ actually stands for Civilian Jeep.
