2006 Wrangler changes????

Mar 23, 2005 9 Replies

The TJ design that was introduced in 1997 is well passed the 5-year design cycle. Does anyone have any inkling of changes for the 2006 model?



Thanks,

Is that your wallpaper at home Bill? ;) ...and they'll tell you it handles better on the highways due to the 4wheel independant suspension, bigger wheels, less sidewall, runflat tires (no spare), but MUCH softer springs for a smoother highway ride. They'll tell you how much safer it is due to an AWD Quadratrac type xfer case & diffs, airbags include dual front, front and rear side curtain, non removable doors (they just look like they do), non removable top with integrated plastic roll bar (just the glass comes out), steeper rake on the front windshield, plastic bumper with plastic simulated faux winch/fairlead. It gets 26/41 mpg due to lighter weight unibody construction combined with light weight space age materials (plastic!!), and the borrowed from Libby V-6 with much better RPM range. I could sell these things! This truly is the Jeep of the future!! It says Jeep on it right? BAHAHAHAHAHA :)

ICK! it has round headlights! : )

I was just thinking the same thing.

Supposedly a new "Vaguely Jeep-like Thing" (TK) to be produced in Toledo beginning early 2006. Supposedly "tub on frame" design has been ditched in favor of unibody. Long-wheel-base model to have 4-doors. Looks like no soft-top, though.

The replacement for the TJ WILL get the KJ 3.7, probably the CRD as an option.
