The Jeep J-20 window sticker — build, options & years
The Jeep J-20 ran from 1981–1988. Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 5.9L, 8-cyl, Regular fuel, 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive powertrain.

What the Jeep J-20 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the J-20, latest tested year 1988:
The label also prints an estimated $5,650 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles.
How the J-20's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1985 to 1988. Worth checking before you compare a J-20 sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What's on the Jeep J-20 sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 11 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every J-20 VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.
For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Jeep J-20
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every J-20, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Jeep J-20 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Jeep J-20 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
Window sticker — frequently asked
What MPG does the Jeep J-20 window sticker show?
The EPA figures on file are 11 mpg combined (10 city / 12 highway), from its 1988 rating, with an estimated $5,650 a year in fuel printed alongside.
Is the recreated Jeep J-20 sticker the same as the original?
It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA fuel economy and NHTSA safety from official records, so the core Monroney content matches. Dealer-added options and destination charges vary by sale, so the printed total on one Jeep J-20 may differ from another.
Where do I find the VIN on a Jeep J-20?
Lower-left of the windshield, the driver's door-jamb sticker, or the registration and insurance documents — all three must agree. For what a window sticker is, how to read each block and what to do if yours is lost, see the window sticker guide.
