Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4 door

Been slow on the Jeep news lately, so let’s just take a look at this new rig and offer some opinions…

OK, whether this is an “Unlimited” version, as originally suggested is open to debate. Doesn’t look that much longer in the rear end.

Regardless, it is what it is. A spiffy new ride for Jeepers to lust after. Or not.

I mean, I’m used to driving long-wheel base Jeeps offroad. They’re different than Wranglers - not as nimble. Sure the longer rigs are better on hill climbs, check out that break-over angle. If the 2007 Jeep Wranglers have low t-case skid plates like the older Wranglers came from the factory with, it’ll make for LOTS of noise on the trail.

Now, since even Jeepers spend most of their time on-road, I’m sure the payoff in very much increased ride comfort will be a no-brainer for most.

Besides, the lift kits on the market, or due out shortly, will give you the space you need between your underside and terra-firma. Slap on 33’s and be done with it. Reminds me of my Cherokee and Comanche, in fact.

Damn, now I want a 4 door Wrangler Rubicon, too.
