What Makes This Year Range Different
The 2003–2006 run includes two models: the standard two-door TJ and the LJ (Wrangler Unlimited) with its 15-inch longer wheelbase and a proper rear bench seat with real legroom. This is the last hurrah of the TJ generation before the JK took over in 2007. Front seat covers share the same pattern between TJ and LJ — the front buckets are identical between them. Rear seat covers require LJ-specific sizing because the LJ rear bench is significantly larger than the two-door TJ's cramped jump seats.
No side-curtain airbags on any 2003–2006 TJ or LJ trim means airbag compatibility is not a safety concern — a key advantage over later JK and JL generation shopping.
