2011 Wrangler Mojave Edition
Whoopdee doo. :naw:
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/20/2...ff-its-lizard/ https://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog...ler-mojave.jpg Jeep will officially introduce the latest in the brand's stream of factory-customized machines (Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition, Wrangler Islander and Mountain trims and the upcoming JK-8 pickup truck conversion kit) at the 2011 New York Auto Show today. The 2011 Jeep Wrangler Mojave was designed to pay homage to the legendary Mojave Trail and comes with special interior and exterior additions that set it apart from the rest of the Wrangler family. The party gets started with a Wrangler Sport and adds a body-colored hard top and fender flares alongside 17-inch wheels wrapped in 32-inch tires. Those rollers are the same kit found on the likes of the Wrangler Rubicon. Unique lizard decals on the hood and a blacked-out fuel door cap off the exterior tweaks. Jump indoors and you'll find dark leather seats with lizard embroidery. Trust us when we say that it looks better than it sounds. Driftwood accents are littered through the cabin and slush floor mats come standard. The final price tag for this machine sits at $29,195 plus a $750 destination fee. Follow the jump for the full press release. https://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog...ler-mojave.jpg |
Pass. :yawn:

Tan
I like the tan but the rest can go.
:naw: |
that is so dumb... i mean i probably like lizards more than most people here... but thats a stupid jeep.
|
I have a problem with my eye.......I just cannot see paying a premium for those upgrades.

It really makes you wonder if car designers / marketing people own an internet connection.
Do you they ever look to see what the majority of people do to customize their own jeeps? How times have you read a thread here that begins with " Just got my JK , first mods are color matched hardtop , painted flares and some decals" Lets see um.. never. Seems to be the same from manufacturer to manufacturer . Honda did the same thing with the S2000. I had two of them and each year they took more sportiness away and added elements that no one asked for. my .02 |
"Gee, Bob, you've really outdone yourself with this new Mojave Edition Wrangler."
"Thanks, Sal, ain't she a beaut'?" "Say, Bob, I noticed that it doesn't actually say 'Mojave' anywhere on it." "Wha? But we had these giant stickers printed up special! I can't believe we forgot to use them." "It's almost beer-o-clock, Bob. What say we just slap that sticker on the fender and call it a day?" "Great idea, Sal. People will buy these things no matter how dumb they look." |

Not my style! Boo
|
Not much difference between this and the mountain IMO, I happen to like this though.
|
Say what you will but they will sell a ton of these...just like the Islander, just like the Mountain, just the Black Ops etc. People on this forum don't really care, but tons of soccer moms, college kids, first time Jeepers, etc WILL buy this - Chrysler marketing people aren't dumb. The 'hardcore' of this forum represent a small portion of Jeep owners. At least you get the BFG 32s and I do love that new tan color.
|
I like it but would not pay extra for it. I bet with the painted hardtop it will be close to $30K for a 4dr Sport.
|
Obviously this is marketed to the "normal" people who for some reason buy a Wrangler with no intension of modifying it. Thats like a kid buying a lego set and leaving it AS IS when hes finished building it by the instructions. Not everyone wants a vehicle to rock crawl, camp, explore....ect ect. Why they buy a vehicle that drives rougher, leaks, and is as areodynamic as a house, I dont know. BUT, I actually like it. I love the tan, and love the dark wheels/grill. So to me the colors alone are what do it. I would pick this over the other special editions, but Id lose the stickers though.
|
Side note: I think for the price they should have added a roof rack and maybe a snorkle to make this "actually different" from every other special edition. Just something more than wheel/grill color and seats.
|
Ditch all the decals and it's ok, otherwise i'd pass. :yawn:
~not big on the lizard motif myself, I'd constantly be driving around like an epileptic swinging my arms & trying to squish the little bastard. I kinda like the Tiki on the islander, or the Mountains from the mountain edition better. I like the gray wheels. I like the color & the color matched hardtop. I would pass on the leather. I have had leather seats in vehicles before and I am thoroughly NOT impressed with them at all. |

I think its pretty cool looking, but would never pay the extra money for some stickers and embroidery.
|
Color OK
Tires and rims OK The rest Ill pass on. |
I like the wheels and gas cap cover. I also like the flat black piece on the hood, too bad the lizard screwed it up...it would be nice of all but that piece could be taken off :/
|
:sad2::what?:
Hey man nice lizards... Ahhhh who's idea was this and how did it make it to production? This isn't going to sell me into buying a 2011 if that is what you were thinking Mr.:doh::gak: designer guy.. |
What's the difference between this and the Sahara in terms of content and price? I suspect this might be a cheaper way to get a color matched roof if you want tan.
|
fail. fail. fail.
|
I would like to see the RODEO DRIVE addition. You know the one with chrome 24's and a chrome snorkel.

I think they copied the lizard decal on the hood from Toad's rig :thinking:
|
Next they will put a big eagle on the hood and have some hot chick drive it on tv.:thinking::doh:
Really though, It's not too bad. I think it'd make a cool expedition build Jeep. As long as they are keeping it interesting is all I care about. They are providing choices at least. I'd buy one. Put a long arm, snorkel, roof rack. Dump the rear seats and fill it with sliding drawers and an ice box. The expedition people would love it. Rock crawlers would hate it. To each their own right?:yup: :beer::beer:

Now I know when a Jeep is NOT a Jeep!
|
I like the small area that says "JEEP"... that's about it.
|
I like the "no antenna" mod. :yup:
|
They need to make that "pork chop" edition production with cloth doors and top. This Mojave is lame and not cool at all.

No antennae is next on my list. Wheels are nice.......and I'm done.
|
It's April 20th not April 1st! Like the color. The hood looks like something you would find screened on a T shirt
|
Wow, waste of vinyl

see chrysler needs to learn from Ford when it comes to Mustang variations. If you wanna offer these "different" versions you need to gear it to that model. They failed horribly at this for everything exept the X/Sahara/Rubi... All of these mountaineers,islanders,mojave... It's unacceptable and is a plain shame that they're wasiting resources and time on crap. I agree these vehicles arent tailored to the REAL jeep owner, they're tailored to the Soccer mom who wants something different than th last and are easily fooled into paying $10,000 over asking price for a stock X. Take a stock X and add 10 grand in upgrades and you sir will have a beast of a jeep.
