The electric motor produces 200 kW (268 horsepower) and 400 N·m (295 lb.-ft.) of torque. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited EV additionally uses an ENVI Range-extended Electric Agent powertrain, consisting of an electric motor, an avant-garde lithium-ion array system, and a baby gasoline agent with an chip electric architect to aftermath added activity to adeptness the electric-drive arrangement back needed.
When this technology is developed by ENVI, the burning aerial torque of the electric-drive motor and the adeptness to absolutely ascendancy anniversary caster apart will aftereffect in off-road adequacy alluringly ill-fitted for the Jeep brand, after compromising on-road capability. However, Chrysler's ENVI alignment is exploring four-wheel-drive, in-wheel electric motors to authenticate the abounding ability of the Company's avant-garde electric-drive technologies. “An electric-drive Jeep Wrangler brings ultimate ammunition ability and ultra-clean busline to a bazaar articulation whose consumers appetite to analyze the ambiance to the fullest.” The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited EV ancestor is a two-wheel drive Wrangler. “One of our goals at ENVI is to advance electric-drive solutions for every articulation and for every customer,” said Lou Rhodes, President – ENVI, and Vice President, Advance Agent Engineering, Chrysler LLC. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited EV is a Range-extended Electric Agent that provides a glimpse into the approaching of a “Go Anywhere, Do Anything” agent with acclaimed Jeep Wrangler capability.


The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s exoteric appearance charcoal accurate to its assemblage ’em aerial and accelerate ’em across cubist pedigree. Overall, it looks a lot like the aboriginal two-door adaptation continued to abode a backseat and a little added burden space. And there you accept it. In fact, Jeep’s engineers continued the accepted model’s wheelbase 20.6 inches to accomplish such accommodations.
My tester came in a adumbration of aphotic blooming beeline out of a Vietnam-war flick, complete with jungle-ready mud tires. Among added off-road equipment, it was adapted with locking advanced and rear differential, bedrock rails, drift plates and a 4.10 rear arbor ratio. With its abeyance and the above tires, the Wrangler’s looked every inch the OEM monster truck.
Considering the Chrysler’s accepted berth quality, my expectations for the Wrangler’s autogenous fell about amid Yugo and Ford Tempo. Obviously, covering and added high-zoot accessibility appearance aren’t de rigeur for any agent advised for the abundant outdoors. So I wasn’t afraid to appointment stain aggressive bolt basement and lots of artificial and rubber. But the artificial was brittle, awful and ailing fitted. The elastic looked like it had a bisected activity bisected as continued as the Jeep’s. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited illustrates the aberration amid spartan and disposable.
The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s chart is aboveboard and glove-friendly. Navigation is touch-screen and cyberbanking in nature, so mud-bogging with the top bottomward is apparently not a abundant idea. Semi-city slicker that I am, I was captivated to acquisition that the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s sound-deadening abstracts do a center appropriate job sealing out the alfresco world—a alpine adjustment because its tires and disposable adamantine top.
While active my tester, I couldn’t escape the anticipation that I’ve now appear abounding amphitheater in agreement of Jeep ability trains. I’ve apprenticed aggregate from a 1980s CJ to a 1997 TJ to this four-door Rubicon tester. During this journey, I’ve sampled aggregate from the absolutely abject 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder (which was bedridden alike added by astronomic mud tires) to the 4.0-liter inline six, the 4.2-liter inline six, and assuredly this year’s 3.8-liter V6.
There is no agnosticism in my apperception that this best contempo agent is the best in agreement of ability and refinement. Of course, put this agent in a ancestors auto and you’ll get a absolutely altered booty on its virtues. Drive through the burghal and you’ll acquisition the mill’s dispatch able and its ammunition burning disconcerting.
Now, if you are a Jeep die-hard, you are activity to acquisition this allotment of my analysis absolute unforgivable. I didn’t get a adventitious to booty the Rubicon off-road. Single chiffre temperatures and scheduling fabricated a cruise to the trails impossible. However, I’ve logged affluence of time in Wranglers off-road, so I apperceive aloof how acceptable they are. With its arena clearance, 4WD arrangement and suspension, the accepted bearing Wrangler can handle its business in the dirt. Frankly, it’s the burghal boscage area Wranglers accept historically collapsed short. Way short. Besides, accept it, you absorb far added time on the artery anyway.
The Unlimited Rubicon is a more good administration Wrangler than the two-door versions of yesteryear. I apprehend that this is a little like actuality the best amateur on the Pittsburgh Pirates roster. But active the Rubicon on burghal streets I was able to accumulate all my teeth in my head, which is a win as far as I’m concerned. However, it charge be said that the Wrangler Unlimited’s off-road roots accomplish affluence of baggy in the council caster and a addiction to airing the road.
According to the circuit doctors at Chrysler, the Wrangler Unlimited is about purchased by affiliated men with kids and an upper-middle-class income. ChryCo’s demographic contour makes faculty to me. The Warngler Unlimited is the absolute agent for the alfresco enthusiast who needs added amplitude for camping accessory and kiddos but doesn’t charge it for circadian active duties. However, if you alive in the burghal and you absolutely aloof like the off-road look, do yourself a favor, go get a Columbia bleed anorak and a Toyota Corolla. Trust me, you’ll acknowledge me later.


What has four doors and flies—out of showrooms? Happily for Jeep, the acknowledgment to that catechism is the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Since its admission beforehand in 2007, the four-door adaptation of the classic, baby Jeep has been affairs at a active clip.
What has four doors and flies—out of showrooms? Happily for Jeep, the acknowledgment to that catechism is the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Since its admission beforehand in 2007, the four-door adaptation of the classic, baby Jeep has been affairs at a active clip. February 2007 sales of Wrangler were up 63 percent over 2006, and the fresh archetypal has been the aberration maker. Currently, the booty amount is two-thirds Wrangler Unlimited, one-third Wrangler. The new, amplitude Wrangler is offered in two or four-wheel drive and three trim levels: Unlimited X, Sahara and Rubicon.
Does abacus a brace of portals to the aboriginal off-road apparatus absolutely accomplish that abundant difference? Yes. In its original, two-door form, Wrangler has been best accepted with two groups of buyers. First was the hardcore Jeep Nation. For them, for decades, Wrangler has been the Box That Tackles Rocks. Admitting abbreviate of wheelbase, it is continued on heart, able to get through area that would accelerate best added 4x4s aback to the barn (if not the atom heap). The acceptable account for this accumulation is that the Unlimited's added breadth has subtracted little from Wrangler's off-road chops. Advanced and rear overhangs are short, and minimum arena approval is 10.2 inches.
All Unlimited 4x4 models are adapted with basic drift plates to assure the ammunition tank, alteration case and automated manual oil pan. Base, X, and Sahara versions accept an alternative Command-Trac part-time 4x4 system, with two-speed alteration case. Rubicon 4x4 models run Jeep's Rock-Trac two-speed alteration case, with a added advancing low ambit accessory ratio, electric advanced and rear arbor lockers, a beefed up abeyance and 32-inch BF Goodrich off-road tires. Standard, on-board electronics advance cycle and directional stability. On road, all Unlimiteds accept a added abiding administration feel than their beneath clue siblings. X and Sahara models action added road-friendly shocks and footstep than the rock-ready Rubicon; though, to be sure, there's a little antagonism in the ride of any Wrangler Unlimited.

Like your movies splattered with blood? Then this week’s fresh slasher flick A Perfect Getaway is for you. It stars the soon-to-be-married Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn as adventuresome adolescent brace Cydney and Cliff who arch to a alien Hawaiian island for an arcadian holiday. Things activate to go pear-shaped aback they aces up a brace of hitch-hikers, Cleo (Planet Terror’s Marley Shelton) and Kale (Chris Hemsworth, Kirk’s dad in Star Trek) and apprehend about a bifold annihilation on the island. Their adventurous abreast is added abashed by addition brace and anon Cydney and Cliff doubtable that their fresh chums ability be amenable for the murders. That’ll advise ‘em to go acrimonious up strangers, conceivably they were acquisitive to appearance off their Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which is this week’s auto spot.
Jeeps are abundant admired for their all activity accreditation and the Wrangler Unlimited, which was alien aback in 2007, is no different. Alike bigger than the boilerplate Wrangler, in aggregate from its breadth to its wheelbase to its cossack capacity, it’s now the alone four aperture convertible for auction in the US but is still to absolutely bolt on actuality in the UK. It’s arranged with all kinds of options, including alien keyless entry, seat-mounted ancillary airbags and Sirius accessory radio, yet critics accept complained about its bulky benumbed and asleep steering. It comes into its own aback it active off-road assimilate rougher area and its able-bodied qualities accept apparent it spawn a aggressive adaptation alleged the J8.
Look out for added Jeep Wrangler Unlimiteds in the brand of Terminator Salvation (Kyle Reese and Marcus Wright memorably drive one in the activity sequel), Mission: Impossible III and Twilight (even vampires aren’t allowed to Jeep’s charms, Emmett Cullen owning one).

The First Jeep Wrangler,The Last Of The Leaves

Maybe one of these canicule we'll accept why the Jeep YJ Wrangler hasn't enjoyed a beyond following. We accept that CJ guys were annoyed in 1986 back it was announced, because it was lower than the CJ, added streetable, and-gasp!-had aboveboard headlights. But really, the Jeep YJ Wrangler is a solid platform, and we feel it has been unnecessarily absolved .
There are those of us who absolutely like wheeling a Jeep with blade springs. While they ability not angle like their after coil-spring brethren, they feel solid, don't accept awe-inspiring mannerisms back you abstract the amplitude bar, and are an all-around actual anticipated setup.
The '87 admission Jeep YJ Wrangler was the affliction year from a basic point of view. The six-cylinder got the abominable computer-controlled Carter carburetor that never seems to run correctly, the capricious Peugot BA 10/5 transmission, and a bordering NP207 alteration case.

Introduction

The Subaru Forester is a crossover vehicle that combines some of the best features of an SUV with the ride and drive the car. The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most fun to drive, Jeep off the road would never do. Folded to ride outside on the beach or on the road, or only route to the hood can be standard or available on the roof can be removed, the doors can be removed and the windshield can be folded down. Both ports can be configured in Jeep Wrangler X, Sahara and Rubicon trim, with all the standards of flying saucer. The standard 3.8-liter V-6 engine produces 202 horsepower and standard transmission is a six-speed manual transmission with overdrive. An optional four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is available. The electronic stability control with roll, traction control, Brake Assist and Hill Hold Control are standard on all Jeep Wranglers. Sahara offers twists of the body color, Infinity speakers, remote control, electric windows, alarm and 18-inch wheels.

Other options include Dual Top Group, doors and half, starting the remote system, front seat mounted side airbags and the MyGIG infotainment system with navigation. For 2009, the Sahara is replaced by a standard power of Windows and power locks with remote control.

Cubist tree outside Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, remains true to his style, Stack 'Em High and sends' em abroad. Overall, it looks so much like the original version two is strained to the background and takes a little 'space more than the house. And that's it. In fact, Jeep engineers have extended the standard model, the 20.6-inch step to make such accommodations. My tester came in a shade of dark green directly from a war movie in Vietnam, with mud tires in the jungle ready. Other off-road machines, has been front and fitted with the locking rear differential, rock bars, Rammer and 4.10 Report to the rear deck. His suspension and the tires described above, the Wrangler has examined every inch of monster truck OEMs. Given the current quality Chrysler car, fell to my expectations for the interior of the Wrangler is somewhere between Yugoslavia and the Ford Tempo. Obviously, leather and other characteristics of high comfort Zoot is not obligatory for all vehicles developed for outdoors. I was therefore surprised to find stain cloth seats and a lot of plastic and rubber. But the plastic is fragile, angry and poorly equipped. Rubber, like a half-life, half the time, as the Jeep is all. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited illustrates the difference between disposable and score. The instrumentation is simple and without limits even with gloves. Navigation is a touch screen and electronic in nature, full of mud, with the top down is probably not a good idea. Semi-urban as I am, I was pleased that the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited sound-proofing materials such as work halfway decent closure to the outside world, a great, given his tires and removable hardtop. While driving my tester, I could not escape the thought that I have now come full circle in terms of Jeep concepts driving. I at all from a 1980 CJ-tester port 1997 TJ Rubicon. During this trip, I have not dismissed the 2.5-liter four-cylinder inline sample (which was still paralyzed on the huge mud tires) the 4.0-liter in-line six-cylinder engines, the 4.2-liter six-line, and this year, 3.8-liter V6. There is no doubt that this new machine is the best in terms of power and elegance. Of course, this engine placed in a family sedan and it has a decidedly different view on the merits. Across town, and is worrying the mill and its acceleration of fuel properly. Well, if you drive a jeep, you will find this part of my review almost unforgivable. I have not had the opportunity, the Rubicon Off-Road. Only the temperature in double figures and planning a trip as possible. But I have a lot of time recorded on the road Jeep Wrangler, so I know how good they are. With its ground clearance, 4WD system and suspension can handle the latest generation of Jeep Wrangler their activities in the mud. Frankly, there is no concrete jungle, where Wranglers have always been successful. Shortest path. Also, I admit, it takes much time on the road anyway. The Unlimited Rubicon is treated better than the Jeep Wrangler two-door versions of the past. I know it's a bit 'as the best player in Pittsburgh Pirates is. To the Rubicon, but the streets of the city, I have all my teeth in my head, which is a plus, for me, to be retained. I must say, however, that the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Off-road roots to create sufficient flexibility to the steering wheel and the tendency to walk the streets. Following the spin-doctors of Chrysler, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited in general, married men with children and earn more money has been purchased. Demographics ChryCo sense to me. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the ideal vehicle for outdoor enthusiasts, the extra space for camping equipment and kiddos, but it is not necessary for the tasks of daily driving. However, it does if you live in town and you like the look off-roader is a favor, go get a fleece jacket Columbia and a Toyota Corolla. Believe me, you'll thank me later.

Jeep Wrangler Off-Road abilities

Jeeps have always been known for their off-road capabilities. . Today, the Wrangler is the only light-duty vehicle offered in North America with solid axles front and rear. These axles are known for their durability due to their overall strength and lack of rubber boots. Most Wranglers come with a Dana 35 rear axle and a Dana 30 up front. The upgraded Rubicon model of the Wrangler is equipped with electronically activated lockers, Dana 44 axles front and rear with 4.10 gears, a 4:1 transfer case and heavy duty shocks.
Another plus of solid axle vehicles is they tend to be easier and cheaper to "lift." This "lifting" increases the distance between the center of the axle hub and chassis of the vehicle. By increasing this distance, larger tires can be installed, which will increase the ground clearance of the Jeep, allowing it to traverse even larger and more difficult obstacles. Many owners equip theirs with roll-bars, taller tires, locking differentials, extra lights, and a winch to pull the vehicle out from the mud or sand when stuck.
Useful features of the smaller Jeeps are their short wheelbases, narrow frames, and ample approach, breakover, and departure angles, allowing them to fit places where full-size trucks could never go. Jeeps also feature a removable soft top (with available hard tops) and removable doors (half or full-sized) for fair weather, the only remaining utility vehicle so equipped.

The history of the Humvee has ties with Jeep. In 1971, Jeep's Defense and Government Products Division was turned into AM General, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Motors Corporation, which also owned Jeep. In 1979, while still owned by American Motors, AM General began the first steps toward designing the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle. AM General also continued manufacturing the DJ, which Jeep created in 1953.
The General Motors Hummer and Chrysler Jeep have been waging battle in US courts over the right to use seven slots in their respective radiator grills. Chrysler Jeep claims it has the exclusive rights to use the seven vertical slits since it is the sole remaining assignee of the various companies since Willys gave their post-war jeeps seven slots instead of Ford's nine-slot design for the Jeep. Article Directory : en.wikipedia.org

The marque has gone through many owners, starting in 1941 with Willys, which produced the first Civilian Jeep (CJ). Willys was sold to Kaiser in 1953, which became Kaiser-Jeep in 1963. American Motors (AMC) purchased Kaiser's money-losing Jeep operations in 1970. The utility vehicles complemented AMC's passenger car business by sharing components, achieving volume efficiencies, as well as capitalizing on Jeep's international and government markets.
The French automaker Renault began investing in AMC in 1979. However, by 1987, the automobile markets had changed and even Renault itself was experiencing financial troubles. At the same time, Chrysler Corporation wanted to capture the Jeep brand, as well as other assets of AMC. Chrysler bought out AMC in 1987, shortly after the Jeep CJ was replaced with the AMC-designed Jeep Wrangler or YJ. Chrysler merged with Daimler-Benz in 1998 to form DaimlerChrysler. DaimlerChrysler eventually sold most of their interest in Chrysler to a private equity company in 2007. Chrysler and the Jeep division now operate under the name Chrysler Holding LLC.
Jeeps have been built under licence by various manufacturers around the world including Mahindra in India, EBRO in Spain, and several in South America. Mitsubishi built more than 30 different Jeep models in Japan between 1953 and 1998. Most of them were based on the CJ-3B model of the original Willys-Kaiser design .
Toledo, Ohio has been the headquarters of the Jeep marque since its inception, and the city has always been proud of this heritage. Although no longer produced in the same factory as the World War II originals, two streets in the vicinity of the old plant are named Willys Parkway and Jeep Parkway.
American Motors set up the first automobile-manufacturing joint venture in the People's Republic of China on January 15, 1984 . The result was Beijing Jeep Corporation, Ltd., in partnership with Beijing Automobile Industry Corporation, to produce the Jeep Cherokee (XJ) in Beijing. Manufacture continued after Chrysler's buyout of AMC. This joint venture is now part of DaimlerChrysler and DaimlerChrysler China Invest Corporation. The original 1984 XJ model was updated and called the "Jeep 2500" toward the end of its production that ended after 2005.
Jeep vehicles have "model designations" in addition to their common names. Nearly every civilian Jeep until the mid-2000s has an 'xJ' designation, though not all are as well-known as the classic CJ. Chrysler has now changed to an "xK" designation.
A division of Chrysler Holdings, the most recent successor company to Willys, now holds trademark status on the name "Jeep" and the distinctive 7-slot front grille design. The original 9-slot grille associated with all WW2 jeeps was designed by Ford for their GPW, and because it weighed less than the original "Slat Grille" of Willys, (an arrangement of flat bars) was incorporated into the "standardized jeep" design.

In 1965, Jeep developed the M715 1.25 ton army truck, which served extensively in Vietnam. Today it serves other countries, and is still being produced by Kia under license. The CJ series began back in 1945 with the CJ2A. The name CJ stands for "Civilian Jeep," a bit of trivia that is still argued over. These early Jeeps are commonly referred to as "flatfenders" because their front fenders were flat across the front, even with the grill. Yes, there was such a thing as a CJ-4, and in true Jeep form, there is only one, literally. There is only one 1951 CJ-4 prototype in existence, it's the "missing link" between the flatfendered CJ-2's and 3' and the round-fendered CJ-5.

The first jeep prototype (the Bantam BRC) was built for the Department of the Army by American Bantam in Butler, Pennsylvania, followed by two other competing prototypes produced by Ford and Willys-Overland. The American Bantam Car Company actually built and designed the vehicle that first met the Army's criteria, but its engine did not meet the Army's torque requirements. Plus, the Army felt that the company was too small to supply the number needed and it allowed Willys and Ford to make second attempts on their designs after seeing Bantam's vehicle in action.
Quantities (1,500) of each of the three models were then extensively field tested. During the bidding process for 16,000 "jeeps", Willys-Overland's chief engineer Delmar "Barney" Roos made extensive design changes to meet a revised weight specification (a maximum of 2,175 pounds, including oil and water). He was thus able to retain a powerful but comparatively heavy engine,and thus won the initial contract. Willys had designed what would become the standardized jeep, designating it a model MB military vehicle and building it at their plant in Toledo, Ohio.
Like American Bantam, Willys-Overland was a small company and, likewise, the military was concerned about their ability to produce large quantities of jeeps. The military was also concerned that Willys-Overland had only one manufacturing facility: something that would make the supply of jeeps more susceptible to sabotage or production stoppages.
Based on these two concerns, the U.S. government required that jeeps also be built by the Ford Motor Company, who designated the vehicle as model GPW (G = government vehicle, P designated the 80" wheelbase, and W = the Willys engine design). Willys and Ford, under the direction of Charles E. Sorensen (Vice-President of Ford during World War II), produced more than 600,000 jeeps. Cost per vehicle trended upwards as the war continued from the price under the first contract of a little less than $750. Besides just being a "truck" the jeep was used for many other purposes.
The jeep was widely copied around the world, including in France by Delahaye and by Hotchkiss et Cie (after 1954, Hotchkiss manufactured Jeeps under license from Willys), and in Japan by Mitsubishi Motors. There were several versions created, including a railway jeep and an amphibious jeep. As part of the war effort, Jeeps were also supplied to the Soviet Red Army during World War II. During the jeep's service in Korea the name was referred to as "Just Enough Essential Parts" by the troops due to the very basic design.
The utilitarian good looks of the original Jeep have been hailed by industrial designers and museum curators alike. The Museum of Modern Art described the Jeep as a masterpiece of functionalist design, and has periodically exhibited the Jeep as part of its collection.
As a generic military term, "Jeep" is often used to describe any small military Light Utility Vehicle similar to the original Willy MB jeep. In the United States military, the jeep has been supplanted by a number of vehicles (e.g. Ford's M151 MUTT) of which the latest is the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or "Humvee").

Origin of the term "jeep"
There are many explanations of the origin of the word "jeep," all of which have proven difficult to verify. Probably the most popular notion holds that the vehicle bore the designation "GP" (for "Government Purposes" or "General Purpose"), which was phonetically slurred into the word jeep. However, R. Lee Ermey, on his television series Mail Call, disputes this, saying that the vehicle was designed for specific duties, was never referred to as "General Purpose," and that the name may have been derived from Ford's nomenclature referring to the vehicle as GP (G for government use, and P to designate its 80-inch (2,000 mm) wheelbase). "GP" does appear in connection with the vehicle in the TM 9-803 manual, which describes the vehicle as a machine, and the vehicle is designated a "GP" in TM 9-2800, Standard Motor Vehicles, September 1, 1949, but whether the average jeep-driving GI would have been familiar with either of these manuals is open to debate.
Many, including Ermey, suggest that soldiers at the time were so impressed with the new vehicles that they informally named it after Eugene the Jeep, a character in the Popeye cartoons that "could go anywhere."
Words of the Fighting Forces by Clinton A. Sanders, a dictionary of military slang, published in 1942, in the library at The Pentagon gives this definition:
Jeep: A four-wheel drive vehicle of one-half- to one-and-one-half-ton capacity for reconnaissance or other army duty. A term applied to the bantam-cars, and occasionally to other motor vehicles (U.S.A.) in the Air Corps, the Link Trainer; in the armored forces, the ½-ton command vehicle. Also referred to as "any small plane, helicopter, or gadget."
Early in 1941, Willys-Overland demonstrated the vehicle's off-road capability by having it drive up the U.S. Capitol steps, driven by Willy's test driver Irving "Red" Haussman, who had recently heard soldiers at Fort Holabird calling it a "jeep." When asked by syndicated columnist Katherine Hillyer for the Washington Daily News (or by a bystander, according to another account) what it was called, Irving answered, "It's a jeep."
Katherine Hillyer's article was published nationally on February 20, 1941, and included a picture of the vehicle with the caption:
LAWMAKERS TAKE A RIDE- With Senator Meade, of New York, at the wheel, and Representative Thomas, of New Jersey, sitting beside him, one of the Army's new scout cars, known as "jeeps" or "quads", climbs up the Capitol steps in a demonstration yesterday. Soldiers in the rear seat for gunners were unperturbed.
This exposure caused all other jeep references to fade, leaving the 4x4 truck with the name.
Willys-Overland Inc. was later awarded the sole privilege of owning the name "Jeep" as registered trademark.
The term was also in military slang use to mean something untried, or untested.

Jeep is an automobile marque (and registered trademark) of Chrysler. It is the oldest off-road vehicle (also sport utility vehicle - SUV) brand, with Land Rover coming in second. The original vehicle which first appeared as the prototype Bantam BRC became the primary light 4-wheel-drive vehicle of the US Army and allies during the World War II and postwar period. Many vehicles serving similar military and civilian roles have since been created by many nations. Jeeps were also used by the U.S. Postal Service in the 20th century for mail services.

Jeep YJ Wrangler Renegade

From 1991 until 1994, Jeep produced an options package on the Jeep YJ Wrangler listed as the "Renegade Decor Group". Initially, all Jeep Renegade were White, Black or Red. In 1992, Blue was added, in 1993, Bronze. The Renegade Decor Group was a $4,266.00 option over a base Wrangler in 1991 and included special alloy wheels, exclusive body flares, along with many other features.

The Jeep YJ, sold as the Wrangler, replaced the much-loved but slower-selling Jeep CJ in 1987 and was built in Brampton, Ontario, Canada until the plant closed on April 23, 1992 after which production was moved to Toledo, Ohio using the same plant that produced Willy Jeeps back in WWII. It was a new design with a wider wheelbase, slightly less ground clearance, and more comfort. The Jeep YJ also had a leaf spring suspension similar to that of the Jeep CJ , however, the springs were wider, and the YJs sported trackbars and swaybars for added handling. Jeep YJs are easily identifiable by their rectangular headlights, which were a source of controversy when introduced. Despite the new grill, the body is very similar to the CJ7's, and it is interchangeable with some minor modifications. The Jeep YJ also was given a larger windshield over the CJ. The Jeep YJs are easily spotted due to the square headlights and the fact that the wiper blades rest on the windshield giving this version a distinctive look. The blades rested on the windshield due to the now wider arc of the blades to clean the now larger windshield. These two changes were later removed were when the Jeep YJ changes came about in 1996. 632,231 YJs were built through model year 1995, though YJs were still produced into mid '96 bringing the total production number to 685,071 units.
The Jeep YJ used a 2.5 L AMC 150 I4 or optional 4.2 L AMC 258 I6 until 1991. That year, a fuel injected 180 hp (134 kW) 4.0 L AMC 242 variant replaced the 112 hp (84 kW) 4.2 L 258 CID straight-6. The NP207 transfer case was used only in 1987 and replaced by the NP231
The roll cage was extended in 1992 to allow for rear shoulder belts, and anti-lock brakes were added as an option the next year. An automatic transmission option for 4-cylinder Wranglers came in 1994 along with a center high-mounted stop light.
In 1994, the slave cylinder on manual transmissions was moved outside of the transmission's bellhousing to allow for easier replacement, and in 1995 larger U-joints were used [front axle U-joints(297x) and rear pinion U-joint(1330)]. For the 1992 model year, the Jeep YJ switched over to an electronic speedometer outmoding the cable speedos on older YJs. 1995 was the only year to have a fully galvanized frame and body.
Jeep YJs produced in early 1996 were sold as 1995 model years, but featured a few new parts not seen on any earlier Jeep YJ. This included: the new TJ bumpstops on the hood (rubber boots vs the traditional U-bars), reinforced tailgate hinges, and it has been said that some even had rear TJ bumpers. Some lucky ones also got the newly tuned I6 that was tuned to run quieter in preparation for the TJ.

The Jeep Wrangler is a compact four-wheel drive in the sport utility vehicle segment produced by American automaker Chrysler under its Jeep marque. It is a successor to the famous World War II 'Jeep' vehicle by way of the Willys civilian Jeep in the 1950s, later produced by Kaiser-Jeep and by American Motors . The Jeep Wrangler debuted in 1987, was revised in 1997 and again in 2007, and is still popular today. A defining feature of all Wranglers is that they continue to use live axles both front and rear like their forefather, the CJ.
From 1987 until 1992 the Jeep Wrangler/YJ was built in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. It was then built in the Toledo South Assembly plant until mid-2006, after which the plant was slowly torn down. The Wrangler is currently produced at Jeep's Toledo North Assembly plant in Toledo, Ohio.Instead, 1987 to 1995 models were sold as YJ, 1997 to 2006 models were TJ's with a subcategory from 2004 to 2006 of "Unlimited" Wranglers known as LJ's, and from 2007 to today as the JK. The model designations are used throughout the world in the Jeep enthusiast community to differentiate which model is being spoken of instead of using the more ambiguous term "Wrangler" and help identify specifics about Jeep Wranglers.
