Default Do I have a '96 or a '98 TJ?

On the front left door frame is a sticker from the factory with the vehicle VIN number - Date of Manufacture 10/96. The plate in the engine compartment says - 02/98. What do I actually have?

What does the manufacturers tag attached to the body, left side below the front grill state? It should be on the left as you face the grill, below the plastic 'jeep' cover (if still attached) which hides the swaybar.

You have a 97 model.
There is no such thing as a MY96 TJ.
If in doubt the tenth digit of the VIN will confirm.

People confuse model year with build date or compliance date.
