Look somewhat like the brand’s namesake from World War 2, it is a creature of a different character. Produced from 1986 to the present in three generations, the Wrangler Sport was designed and originally built to fill the gap from the American Motors Corporation ceasing production of the CJ-7’s in 1986. Custom Jeep Wrangler for sale special editions like the Wrangler Unlimited, Rubicon, and Sahara Edition have been offered since the late 1990s.

Shortly after, the Chrysler Corporation bought the company and began production. In its new design, the off-roader featured a higher ground clearance, wider track, and a great deal more comfort than its AMC counterpart. While its rectangular headlights were disliked by some critics, improvements under the hood helped Jeep cars step into its own identity. Offered with either a 2.5-liter, inline four-cylinder engine generating 120 hp from a 4.0-liter inline-six pushing out 181 hp, the SUV became significantly more powerful and smooth.

The Rubicon, named after the famed trail in the Sierra Nevadas, features 16-inch alloy wheels, beefed-up axles, four-wheel drivetrain, diamond plate rocker panels, and other extras to improve its off-road worthiness and aesthetic appeal.   The Unlimited trim level includes the drivetrain improvements mentioned above, as well as a 10 inch stretch in the chassis to improve cargo and passenger space. The Sahara Edition, considered by many to be the top of the top of the line, came standard with most of the extras available: fog lights, extended body-colored fender flares, air-conditioning, exclusive high-backed bucket seats, and upgraded wheels.

While there is a following for modified Jeep Wranglers for sale in their original condition, a new culture of modification has grown with the wide variety and availability of aftermarket parts, including wheels, engine upgrades, hard and soft top improvements, and more. This culture has also been urged forward with the rapid growth of “mudding,” a pastime devoted to putting four-wheel-drive vehicles in difficult situations and extracting them with winches, knobbly tires and the like.

For those interested in purchasing a Wrangler or tricked out SUVs, we have a wide selection for sale in a variety of trim levels and color.
