If it was produced in 5/86 wouldn't it be an 87?

I know mine (an 86) was produced in 5/85 and it has the ATC type fuses not
the old ones like my 73 Thing has...also the one other difference is the AC
Compressor is the Sanden 508 Model not the 709 (or 7 hundered something
anyway) that places advertise as "fitting all 86-91"

86 Westy (produced West Germany 5/85)
73 Thing (Hecho en Mexico 6/72)
99 Subaru (Made in Indiana 7/98)
