Trivia

- There were trim packages for many Jeep vehicles in the 1970s, including a package called the "Cherokee Chief" for the Jeep Cherokee . The “Golden Eagle” package mentioned above was also available for the CJ and Cherokee.
- A yellow Jeep Honcho with blue trim was seen in the movie Twister (1996).
