anybody seen the 2007 jeep wrangler? why would they change the engine?

1/26/2006 7:53:25 PM

Because EVERYTHING gets the 3.7 now.

1/26/2006 7:54:57 PM

it gets a 3.8

1/26/2006 7:57:12 PM

they have power windows now with disconnecting harnesses

and they don't have front fenders anymore, just big fender flares

you can also get 18" wheels too, lol

you're forgetting this wrangler will also eventually get the diesel from the liberty. that's the only thing that would tempt me to ever buy a wrangler...

1/26/2006 9:05:00 PM

O RLY?

1/26/2006 9:16:45 PM

the specs pdf says they're making the diesel now for export only.

1/26/2006 9:24:07 PM

domestic production is expected to start around 08.

1/26/2006 9:31:32 PM

I think it looks pretty BA

1/26/2006 9:44:40 PM

pics? i'm lazy

1/26/2006 10:19:36 PM

hopefully an updated v6, a 4.3l based off of the 5.7 hemi, will see production in a couple of years.

1/26/2006 11:28:58 PM

looks like another pussy jeep to me

1/27/2006 12:00:23 AM

You forgot to mention wider axles, removable fender flares, electronic sway bar disconnects.

1/27/2006 12:30:03 AM

fanboys are going to bust a nut.

1/27/2006 12:33:31 AM

i don't like the flares or the interior too much, eh. i'll take my tj

[Edited on January 27, 2006 at 1:12 AM. Reason : and the sectional hardtop. gayyyyy]

1/27/2006 1:10:42 AM

looks pretty sweet actually...great job on the front end

1/27/2006 1:10:51 AM

i want to work for jeep and do those type 3d models

1/27/2006 1:15:37 AM

with the swaybar disconnected, it pulled over an 800 RTI 625 with it on.

1/27/2006 8:37:22 AM

RTI

1/27/2006 9:47:43 AM

looks as homo as they always have

1/27/2006 12:39:07 PM

wow 800 holy freakin shit! i mean damn thats crazy. we all know that RTI is a tru measurement of worthyness.

1/27/2006 8:21:07 PM

penis size is proportional to RTI scores........durr

1/27/2006 8:25:18 PM

compared to most stock trucks with 400-500, it certainly is nice.

1/27/2006 8:25:34 PM

^ i think what they're saying is that even though it's a good score, that doesn't mean that it is truly capable.

a vehicle w/ a lower rti score but that has lockers will do better on a trail than an open diff wrangler that scores an rti of 800

is it trail rated?

1/27/2006 8:27:27 PM

from the allpar link.

"The 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon model features an Off-Road Rock-Trac™ NV241 two-speed transfer case with a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio, as well as electric front- and rear-axle lockers and 32-inch B.F. Goodrich Off-Road tires."

are they going to be true lockers though?

1/28/2006 5:04:07 AM

that's the rubicon, not the regular models, se, sahara, etc. the rubi is a lot more $$$$$

i was referring to the regular models

1/28/2006 1:46:02 PM

i've never heard of a selectable limited-slip, anyway. if they're electric or pneumatic, in general, they're probably real lockers.

1/28/2006 1:54:09 PM

the eaton e-locker is a limited-slip/locker. they're out there

I'd wait for the diesel.

1/28/2006 3:22:59 PM

does it come standard with a gay boyfriend?

1/28/2006 4:54:46 PM

no, you'd probably know where to look for that on your own

a trail is what you make of it. i can turn a fucking ditch next to a parking lot into a day long event if I want to. In a stock yj, with no sway or trac bars, I followed a rear locked TJ in the exact same tracks he made the entire way. just to prove a point of course. It also has a lot to do with the driver too.

1/28/2006 7:29:52 PM

^ i agree, i was just trying to clarify the points some were making earlier

1/28/2006 10:22:54 PM

i'm going to drive a subaru wagon through uwharrie this spring. watch.

1/28/2006 10:28:38 PM

i know one that could do it too... its got 31's on it and i think he's got some sort of traction device in the diff.

1/28/2006 10:31:50 PM

screw that, bone stock.

1/28/2006 10:34:49 PM

troo its not that hairy... but i bet the rutts are too deep unless there is a scoobie model i don't know about.

1/28/2006 10:48:07 PM

it won't matter how deep they are if the car is flying over them

i've seen that cat 'wheel his old Po'-Runna on nearly bald, scrawny tires. whatever he lacks in clearance and traction, ivan will just overcome with momentum and altitude.

1/28/2006 11:07:35 PM

w00t

1/29/2006 1:16:08 PM

amc eagle. you know what's up

1/29/2006 2:13:09 PM

dont those jeep "lockers" in the rubicons only work at like ridiculously low speeds? just wondering.

1/29/2006 2:23:21 PM

you can "fix" that

1/29/2006 2:25:20 PM

can't you just go back to 4wd from 4L after locking

1/29/2006 2:55:10 PM

I really dont like all the plastic.
