Just thought I'd share this with everyone...I was coming home last night and stopped at a car dealership to look at a Jeep Wrangler cause my sister-in-law is wanting one so I looked at a 2007 unlimited X and seen on the window " 4x2 " and was shocked to see that is WAS a FREAKIN 2wd Jeep!!! I did not know that they made a 4x2 Jeep wrangler and why? Who would buy this??

 

Please tell me your not just finding this out. There are a ton of them also. A lot if soccer moms drive them.

 

Yep, there are a ton of 2WD Unlimiteds. Pretty lame if I do say so myself. 2WD Jeeps in general confuse me because the Jeep name is so synonymous with 4WD vehicles.

 

Yep. A neighbor of mine had a fully loaded 2wd Sahara U. Even has AEV hood and bumpers. Lol.

 

Probably needs those bumpers for good tow points when he gets stuck........

 

There are a ton of 2wd jeeps and I have one

 

Do you at least get better gas milage :p

Stay muddy my friends

 

Nope , there is no difference execpt the front axle and transfer case

 

Less weight, and less parasitic drag from having to turn the dif and axel.
My thoughts anyway
Stay muddy my friends

 

So is there a large economic benefit from purchasing a 2WD, then upgrading with aftermarket axle and xfer case when you're doing the rest of your build? Never even considered this as an option.. I'm with the rest of the folks on 2WDs making me chuckle unless there's a damn good reason (custom build) and it doesn't stay 2WD for long. Kinda more like a blank JK canvas?
