Jeep JK Unlimited Mojave special edition

[haven]

Jeep just introduced a special edition of the 2011 Wrangler Unlimited called the Mojave. The package starts with a Wrangler Unlimited Sport S model, adds monochrome paint, black taillight guards, some upgraded interior trim and floor mats, leather seats, and lots of graphics featuring lizards. From a performance perspective, the most interesting part of the package is the Rubicon's wheel and tire package, 32 inch tall tires (AT? MT?) on 17 inch rims. The package costs about $1500 more than the Unlimited Sport S model.

I bet the gecko graphics would come right off with a heat gun...

We need the equivalent of "ExPosexual" in the Jeep world...

I like the lizard theme.

But it's not a gecko - no geckos in the Mojave AFAIK. The signature species is more likely the Desert Iguana (below) or the Chuckwalla.

I like the two tone black & brown interior.

Seems like Jeep has blown another great opportunity to jump start sales of off-road vehicles...Do they ever read a forum or listen to reviews in the marketplace ?

If they paid any attention to the general consensus that the JK is extremely underpowered, they would have saved all that R&D on stickers, and focus group about interior colors, and dropped a 6.4L Hemi in the thing - call it the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Mojave SRT8 - and every person on the fence about buying a remodeled, yet still gutless JK would be in line at the dealer to pre-order tomorrow.

There is a reason US car makers are having a difficult time retaining old customers and attracting new ones - it is their almost arrogant inability to give people what they really want, and instead try to get them to buy what they'd rather sell...

Chrysler (I guess I should say Fiat...) - Good luck with your hi-performance sticker package.... :Wow1:

Now if you could get this without the hood decal and with Rubicon underpinnings, that would be hard to beat. My wife's been pushing to replace her DD with a JK, this may just be the catalyst.

If im not mistaken, the Mojave package comes with a 6spd, and I think you can option the factory locker in it as well.

It would be cool if the Mojave evolved into a sort of Rubicon "lite".
