My XJ is a Jeep. Since it is the registered Trademark that it was built under. Regardless of who the parent company is. My 71 CJ-5 is a Jeep, although the Jeep name was owned by AMC at the time, but AMC was still using the Kaiser design plans.
Just because they used the Jeep tailgate doesn't make it a Jeep, anymore than the Buick 225 in my CJ-5 making it a buick.
By your way of thinking, then a Lamborghini is a VW. A Cadillac is a Chevrolet. A Land Rover is a ...... Ford.
I have never seen a M715 reffered to as a Jeep M715, it's a Kaiser M715.
That is why I said "technically". Read it correctly the first time.
If you are refering to the creation of AM General, that happened after the M715.
If you have ever wrenched on a M715, you will see that it has a wee bit more in common with FSJ's than the tailgate. I have a M715, a '63 J300 and have owned a few J4000's. My M715's data plates say: "MFD. BY KAISER JEEP CORPORATION". My J300 says "Willys Jeep" (even though by '63 it was owned by Kaiser already). And my 95 XJ has pentastars everywhere. Your point?
I've seen that term "divorced" thrown around but never asked what it means in terms of this discussion. So for the always learning human, what does that mean?

Divorced transfer case means that it was not mounted to the transmission. The transmission had a tailshaft with a yoke, then a connecting driveshaft to the input of the transfer case.
