Review Jeep Wrangler Models' Standard Features And Options
Compare the widely varying and popular options and standard features on the Jeep
Wrangler models Rubicon, Unlimited, and Sahara, which represent the best attributes the Jeep family can offer. You can choose a Wrangler with maximum utility and power, or one with comforts and accents designed for optimum on and off-roading pleasure.
Rubicon
The Wrangler Rubicon joined the Jeep family in 2003. It features such goodies as special axles with high tech built-in locking differentials; a 4:1 low-range transfer case, 4.10:1 differential gears and diamond plate rocker panels. A four-speed automatic transmission is optional. The 2003 to 2006 models also feature 16-inch alloy wheels.
The 2003 to 2004 model featured a standard NV3550 5-speed manual transmission. In 2005 that became the NSG370, a six-speed modeled on a Mercedes design. The Rubicon was modified for a limited-run promotional campaign, and featured many options not found on the regular model.
TJ and JK Wrangler Unlimited
The Unlimited Jeep model came out in two trim styles, the TJ and the JK. The TJ model was released to the market in 2004, and is also known by an unofficial designation of "LJ." It featured a 10-inch longer wheelbase than the straight Wrangler, a 3:73 gear ratio, and a specialized 331 transfer case. There was also a Rubicon Unlimited, which has the wheelbase features of the Unlimited, and the off-road features of the Rubicon, which includes a front axle with locking differentials.
The JK Unlimited model went on display in the spring of 2006, building on the TJ model with a 4-door option, and almost 21 inches added to the frame length. It features a 95.4" wheelbase, a standard electronic stability program, optional seat-mounted side airbags, remote keyless entry, navigation system, and satellite radio. The JK Unlimited comes with more standard equipment and options than any previous Jeep Wrangler. Interestingly, it is the only 4-door convertible available in the U.S., as the Hummer H1 ragtop is no longer available to civilians.
There was even an Unlimited model designed for military use, called the J8. This Jeep model does everything bigger than a standard Unlimited, and is powered by a 2.8-liter, 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. It has a special air-intake system with filtration designed for desert combat.
Sahara
In 2005, a limited-edition Sahara Unlimited Rubicon was released, only 1,000 of which were made. Both the X and Sahara trim options included 2x4 rear-wheel drive in the United States. The Sahara model was in a light khaki color, and has such features as a chrome grill, color matched flares, khaki colored hard top or soft top options, graphite wheels, two-tone premium seats and taillight guards. There is also a special Sahara spare tire cover and Sahara decals on the vehicle, as well as a numerical dash badge.
