Jeep Wrangler

Jeeps have been around since the 1950s and have grown in popularity ever since. In 1987, jeeps were re-designed and termed the Wrangler. Since then it has be re-modified in 1997; the demand for Wrangler Jeeps has been on an up scale since its launch. Produced in Toledo, Ohio, at Jeep's Toledo South Assembly plant, the 1987 Wrangler jeeps were marketed as YJ and were manufactured up until 1995. The TJ Wrangler jeep commenced production in 1997 and is currently still being produced. The YJ Wrangler was a comfortable jeep with lengthier wheelbase and lesser ground clearance. Highly inspired form the Jeep Cherokee, the YJ is often termed as the 'Yuppie Jeep'. Easily identifiable due to their rectangular head lights, these head lights were not initially well accepted by the market; the YJ also had leaf spring suspension. This 180 HP vehicle came with additional anti lock brakes and an auto transmission option for its 4-cylinder engine and also with a center high-mounted stop light. The TJ Wrangler was introduced in 1997 and featured a coil-spring suspension and iconic round headlamps. The first Wrangler to sport protective air bags, the TJ had a number of changes installed in it. It had a larger fuel storage capacity, new console design, and intermitted wipers. The TJ was later evolved to the TJ Wrangler Rubicon which featured Dana 44 axles for the front and rear, 4.10:1 differential gears, 16 in alloy wheels, and built-in air-actuated locking differentials. Often termed the 'Tomb Raider' these were produced in a limited edition of only 1000 units.
