2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Review

Unlimited access to roads and terrains never before traveled, rocks, mucks, muddy trails, rivers, streams there is nothing you cant do, now, you can take anything with you too. The icon of the legendary Jeep brand just got more versatile with 15 inches added to its overall length. The new 2004-2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited delivers 13 inches more cargo area and two inches more second row leg room, while maintaining the unmatched open-air fun and 4x4 capability of the original Jeep Wrangler. The legend just keeps on growing. While maintaining its legendary 4x4 Jeep capability, the new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers more refined, on-road comfort and quietness because of its longer 103-inch wheelbase, which includes an additional 10 inches compared to the original Wrangler.

 

The 2004-05 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features as standard equipment the 4.0-liter Power Tech I-6 mated to the 42RLE four-speed automatic transmission. The 4.0-liter engine is rated at 190 horsepower (142 kW) at 4,600 rpm and 235 lb.-ft. (319 Nm) of torque at 3,200 rpm. Also standard on the Wrangler Unlimited are a Dana 30 front axle, a rear heavy-duty Dana 44 axle, 30-inch tall R15 Goodyear Wrangler GSA tires, 15-inch Ravine aluminum wheels, high-pressure gas-charged shock absorbers with a 3.73 axle ratio, fog lamps and tow hooks. Sticking to its heritage, the new Wrangler Unlimited adds another option to open-air fun with an innovative new Sunrider soft-top, which includes a 'sun roof? feature in addition to the full top-down option. This new soft-top gives a second open-air option by folding the soft-top back completely over driver and front passenger to create a 45x23 inch sunroof opening -- larger than any typical glass sunroof. The sunroof can also be operated from the inside of the Wrangler Unlimited, once the vehicle is not in motion. The Unlimited just opened new doors for the ultimate Outsdoor man.
