New 4 Door Wrangler

[funpilot]

Thought you all might enjoy this....

Been a while, so hello to all who remember me.

Funpilot, how's the Avalanche? Time to trade it in for an H3 http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[funpilot]

For what I am using it for, the Av has been great. No problems so far at all. Still waiting for the H3 to get a real engine....

Real engine...man that's cold http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Glad you are enjoying your Av. Don't forget to stop in from time to time.

Your right....should not have said that...mea culpa.

That's neato

I heard it will be at the NY Auto show. Will look at it and let you know.

4 door Wrangler doesn't seem right. Let us know how it looks in person.

Isn't an Avalanche an ugly Chevy version of a Honda Ridgeline or is it the other way around http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Enjoy the NY Auto Show. Got to be better than the SJ auto show.

is there a reason for these random posts with pictures that have nothing to do with the thread?

That red jeep looks like the cart Tatoo drove on Fantasy Island! "Da plan boss, da plan!!!!"

[Steve - SanJose]

Maybe they are Wrangler golf carts.

Ok, here are the real details.....

that thing with a 6" SL and 2" BL and 37's in a Rubicon version would be pretty bad ass actually.

[Surferjo]

I dont know how I feel about a 4 door jeep. And Im going to assume that red thing is a photochop.

I will say that I think its better looking than the Unlimited.

I'm going to to auto show so ill snap off a few pic's and post them when I get chance.

Thanks for the update funpilot.

[wannabeH3]

that thing looks sweet! id buy one just for fun if i could

Other 4-door Jeeps...

Funny how the people on the Jeep sites say that is looks like a H3 in disguise....

here are some more pics from the Jeep site:

Finally, here is the first comments on pricing:

The latest Jeep, which has midsize SUV proportions, is designed to butt heads with the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser and the 2006 Hummer H3.

Chrysler insiders tell Inside Line the Wrangler Unlimited will start at around $21,000.

The Unlimited will be offered in either two- or four-wheel drive and comes in three configurations: Wrangler Unlimited X, Sahara and Rubicon. Four-wheel-drive Unlimited X and Sahara models feature Command-Trac NV241, a part-time, two-speed transfer case. A Trak-Lok limited-slip rear differential is optional. Rubicon models feature an off-road Rock-Trak NV241 two-speed transfer case as well as electric front- and rear-axle lockers and 32-inch BF Goodrich off-road tires.

I don't know much about Jeep- but they've been all over the front page news here. Apparently from what I read- they're being built here.
I drive by the Jeep plant every day on my way to work (I work in Toledo).

Here is a kink to the most complete set of pics yet. But not of the Rubicon version.
