What Makes The '07 Jeep Wrangler All-New
oh and theyre also showing off BFGs new MT tread design on these 32s that come standard (which just so happens to look sorta like the coopers im gettin
)
disclaimer: yes i know, the bumpers are gay as can be...but none of you have your stock bumpers anymore anyway
- A set of live-axle Dana 44's, that now have a larger set of pinion shafts, pinion bearings, axle joints and ring gears stuffed inside. Oh yeah, the axles are now high-pinion models which mean less bangs on the driveshafts for you serious off roaders. Of course, the twin Dana 44's still sport electric lockers that works flawlessly.
- Approach, breakover and departure angles (respectively 44.3°, 25.5° and 40.4° for the Rubicon, and 44.4°, 20.8° and 40.5° for the Unlimited) are best-in-class.
- The new Jeep Wrangler X and Sahara possess a second generation Command-Trac NV241, part-time, two-speed transfer case with 2.72:1 low-range gear sets, while the Rubicon (including the Unlimited version) features an upgraded Off-Road Rock-Trac NV241 two-speed t-case with a 4.0:1 low-range. The Rock-Trac has flanged front and rear output shafts mated to CV joints, replacing last year's slip yolk setup.
- Back to the axles - The Rubicon models (including Unlimited version) offer Tru-Lock selectable, locking differentials - as before - but now come replete with the new Brake Lock Differentials (BLDs), which are incorporated into the also-for-the-first-time-in-a-Wrangler
