Neon ◊ 2011-06-12 00:29	You mean 1987 as model year, I guess, since it makes its first appareance in ep 2.03 which is dated September 1986...
tonkatracker ◊ 2011-06-12 00:33	^ yes 1987 was the first model year for the Wrangler

Neon ◊ 2014-09-02 00:12	Used a lot also during the 3rd season:

JohnFourtyTwo ◊ 2019-12-20 23:33	There's an episode where MacGyver is using his Jeep to jumpstart another vehicle (not another Jeep) or something at nighttime and they switch between shots of the 1987 Wrangler and a CJ. I thought it was here but it's probably in the special features of the MacGyver DVD they talk about this continuity error because they apparently had to reshoot the scene but the Wrangler wasn't available for the reshoot. They're both the same color and the actors are in the same positions, the only difference is the square headlights for the Wrangler and the round headlights for the CJ. -- Last edit: 2019-12-20 23:34:34
