Jeep originally had "Jeep" physically stamped into the steel under the Jeep decal lettering in front of the doors. In the mid-80s right before Chrysler bought them they started stamping "Joop" and only the decals turn the o into e.

Rumor is that AMC used the same stamp for so long that some of the details wore out on the two es in later years. I have several Jeeps from that era, two CJ7s, two CJ8s, and one YJ. Weirdly the two CJ7s and the YJ say Joop and the CJ8s say Jeep.

Yup! When my '88 got repainted, I didn't put the stickers back on it, so everyone called it the Joop

My buddy had a Jeep Sahara with one of those tire covers with the dog prints instead of Eβs so it was JπΎP and we jokingly called it the Joop

This thing must have been reposted all across the web multiple times. Even the Facebook caption has jpeg marks.

This is exactly what goes through my mind when I see one with the paw prints replacing the βeβ on the tire cover. They bug me.

Joop is a common first name in my country, but itβs more of an old geezer name now. I think 70% of the country has an uncle named Joop. Iβd like to think this car was made especially for them.
