2006 or 07 Redesigned Wrangler

RE: Re: RE: Yep

Does anyone know anymore details about this? All I can find are articles refering to plant issues about the redesign.

The $900-million, multi-factory Toledo Jeep Assembly plant under construction will start building the redesigned Jeep Wrangler and a four-door version of the famed sport-utility vehicle within five weeks of each other next year, but DaimlerChrysler AG hasn't decided which will come first.

From Car and Driver:

The 2007 Wrangler, due in late '06, will get revised door framing and considerable cosmetic changes.

There is just not any info on this out there that I can find. Anyone know anything?

Big heap secret... sshhhhh! :roll:

JP Magazine throws a hint or two out there every once in a while.

 

[Junkpile]

I'm eager to see it. I'm fully expecting to hate it, but eager still.

RE: what is the autozone part number for the mc 2150

Hopefully no IFS. (This is a recording)

I can't imagine after all these years Jeep would be dumb enough to put IFS on the Wrangler......but, I didn't think they'd be dumb enough to give it coil-overs and a car dash board, either.....

Black soft top for a YJ with all hardware

it seems like anything jeep looks at as progressive, we, the hardcore jeepers, find offensive and appaling. i am right on with no ifs, it would just out and out ruin the jeep legacy as being one of the few dual solid axle vehicles left. i think a lot more people would be attracted to jeep though if they made a move to change some stuff and give them more creature comforts and a better ride, how much better do you need though? the tj already rides on car spings

 

[_(OIIIIO)_Jeeper]

The Hurricane looks to have FRONT & REAR I.S. makes you wonder if that is in the works for the "NEW" Wrangler.....

Hey now that's not fair. :lol:

Look at it this way. They could have IFS instead of coils and solid axles.

RE: never again!!!maybe?

Oh god, what in the H%#L was that. Are they trying to DESTROY the Jeep name?

 

[TwistedCU]

jeez what happen to the faith in jeep.

Discontinuing the XJ had a lot to do with it for me... Or when I went to the dealership to get some warranty work done, and was told when I asked that if I do anything to it short of lights, I will void any and all warranties, lifts destroy transmissions, and mv V-6 needs a trans flush :evil:

RE: Re: RE: Re: SugaMamas

Getting rid of 4.0 litres for starts. Evemn the new GC has either the Hemi or the 3.8L. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Also heard Wranglers are going the way of 3.8L. Yuck!

 

[graewulf]

All I can say is... IFS works rather well. You just have to get used to it, and it is perfectly capable of doing what over 90% of 4x4 owners do off-road. As for the 3.8l v6 - it has more power than the 4.0l and is more fuel efficient, why would you not want it?

for the record, its a 3.7L V6... not a 3.8. and its only slightly better on HP... torque is about the same.

jeez what happen to the faith in jeep.

Well, ummm, this too:

:twisted: :lol: Heehheheehe

 

[Sparky-Watts]

Oh, now you're just getting mean! Ok, I'll give you that one for the Surrey and Sheep thing........ :wink:

I am a big fan of the simplicity and reliability of the old standby inline 4.0L 6.

As for IFS, what about lifting it? Sure you can if you have $3K :shock: And still you have much more limited wheel travel and many more parts to break.

Why on earth would they want to do that to a SWB Jeep? I don't think they will, at least not this go round.
