I think it only happened in 2007. Anyone here own one of those factory 2wd unicorns?

Don't have one, but I've seen two. One was a friend's sister's. That was the only one I saw first hand and it was weird to see. The other was a for sale posting by a local dealer about 6 weeks ago. It was an '07 with 315k miles, soft top, half doors, and was in ROUGH shape......and they were asking $9k for it!! I told my buddy we needed to keep an eye what heap pile that jeep ended up on cuz factory half doors around my area sell for $2500 alone. That jeep was total trash.

I hope mine is still running at 315K miles! (209K miles on it now.)

I'm at 228k and I'm sure you take better care of yours than I do mine- it'll be around for 315k miles as long as we keep the oil changed and gas tank full.

I saw one once a looong time ago. It had a funky stance, funky front end since all you see is a straight bar where an axle usually is, and no Trail Rated badge. Be interesting to see one that was well preserved. Total oddball.

Question Unicorn?

I'm a new Jeep owner and happened to come upon your thread. I recently purchased a 2007 JKU 2WD. Why do call it a unicorn?

I bought my Jeep from a family member who mostly used it to pull behind an RV. It was garage kept and in excellent condition with low miles. I don't have a need for 4WD so it didn't bother me that it was 2WD. My husband and I are really enjoying our Jeep. When I am able to I can post pictures of it.

Congrats on your acquisition! Those 2WD models are rare, and they are a little strange to see when you stumble across one. There is by no means anything wrong with them, and if you don't need 4WD and it fits your lifestyle then kudos. Definitely post up a few pictures when you have an opportunity. Welcome to JK-Forum!
