Re: Jeep 4 by 4

The first number is "number of wheels"
In the military, I have driven "6X6"'s and "8X8"s  (Hemits)

Just a question - I have been working on cars since 1989.
Someone posed the question to me last week.
What does the first "4" stand for in the term "4x4".
I have heard of "4x2" (2 wheel drive) and "4x4" (4 wheel drive).
Since the second number is the "number of wheel drive", what
does the first number mean?  4 Wheels? 4 Doors?
4 people to wonder what it means?
