Quick! What's a Wrangler "X"?

The X is an SE with a 6 instead of a 4.

Neither does the SE. The SE is the base model, and the X is the base model with the I6 engine upgrade. If one wishes to have the D44, they have to buy the Sport or higher trim levels.

Thank you.

I wish for that again.

The hell I went through trying to get no carpet in my XLT!! Never happened.

That's true Bill. We used to be able to pick and choose just about any option, or combination of options available when ordering a vehicle.

That was before the days of option packages, that require you to order many items that you don't want, to get the options you do want.

You would need to have purchased the XL to get no carpets. But the XL package takes away the electric windows and other stuff that you want with the XLT. From what I remember when my Dad was in car biz, you had to take the options that came with any given package, then you could add extra stuff. You could not exclude package items. This means that you would have to take the lowest model available and add features that you wanted. Many times, the additional features on a lower model would end up costing more than taking the features of the package on the next higher model, but this meant getting things you might not have wanted.

Yup, that's why it never happened. Having a ranch truck with carpet is just plain stupid, but Ford hasn't figured that out yet. Like no F-150s with a crew cab AND long bed. Stoopid. Stoopid Stoopid.

Well, people who actually work a truck are such a small segment of the market these days that the manufacturers can safely ignore them. You can't buy a Jeep Wrangler without carpet for crying out loud, or at least you couldn't when I bought mine.

Yeah, but that Wrangler carpet comes out a heluva lot easier than it does in Ford!

It sure did the day I bought mine. 8^)

You should be able to get the SE without carpets. Presumably, you should be able to get the X without carpets as well.

In '99 the Jeep next to mine on the lot (TJ Sport, too) had no carpet. Maybe it was a custom order.

Matt '99 TJ

Mine was a custom order. Maybe the carpet was just removed.
