Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door Hits Dealer
Photo's taken at
Kelly Jeep in Emmaus, PA
It was a nice
end of summer afternoon and I was running some errands.
I went by Kelly Jeep's lot and out of the corner of my eye I
spotted a new Wrangler. I was like "OH MY GOSH, THERE
IS NEW WRANGLERS BACK THERE!" Needless to say I almost
spun the Liberty around right there. I calmed down
briefly and made a legal turn around and went back to the
lot. There were 3 new Wranglers there, two Sahara's
(Rock Red and Steel Blue) and one X (Black). I pulled
out my camera and gave them all a good once over. At
first impression I was impressed. Lucky for me one of
them was unlocked and I took the opportunity to get inside
and feel it out, lucky for Kelly I am a honest person that
would never deface a Jeep!

I liked the feel of the
interior. It still feels like a Jeep...cozy, but a bit
wider and deeper. The controls were easy to reach and
laid out in the right places. It was very unusual
looking rearward from the driver seat and seeing so much
space behind me. The new Jeep is long, not quite as
long as I though it would be from all the pictures I have
seen. The interior room is impressive. The
storage space behind the rear seat is plentiful. I'd
say it easily rivals the Liberty. It was cool to see
the power window and lock controls. I checked out the
whole removable sections from the new Freedom Top. A
few latches and some sliding locks and off the panels come!
This Sahara was equipped with a dual top and a 6 speed.
The X and the other Sahara were automatics.

Naturally I had to lay down
and check out the underside. I was happy to see all
the things that make a Jeep a Jeep in place. See the
