If you get a jeep made since 1995, it's definitely way more complex.

Did you mean 1945? If not, were Jeeps made before 1995 comparatively simple?

IIRC Around 1995 (I thought '96 but could be wrong) emissions standards were made stricter and cars made since then need to have computers that monitor the emission systems.

I don't know about Jeeps specifically, but they started putting embedded systems into cars in the mid-1970s and into pickup trucks in the early-1980s.
