Non-4WD Jeep

I remember when the 2WD Unlimited Wranglers were available.

I always wondered why would you put up with all the shortcomings of a Wrangler and lose the biggest benefit?

Jeep Wrangler 2WD Unlimited​


The 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited models were available with a 2WD configuration. However, since 2011, the Jeep Wrangler has been standard with 4WD across all its trim packages, with no 2WD option available.


  • 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X 2WD: This model was offered with a 2WD drivetrain and featured a 3.8-liter V6 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

  • 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited: During this period, the 2WD configuration was available for the Unlimited model, catering to customers who did not require the off-road capabilities of 4WD.
 
If a person were planning to do an all-out build, ripping everything from the trans downstream, or even including a motor swap, a 2wd JK would be an excellent ticket. It likely would be at a lower price point and *hopefully* less likely to be abused off-road by the P.O.

Why do I feel like those probably get curbed super often in drive-thrus...

I was in high school when the JKs came out and one of my teachers asked if I could shuttle her husband's jeep from the dealer. I obliged and when I looked down to put it in gear, I saw a cover where the TC selector should be. I told her I was disappointed in her husband. When my dad bought his truck in 05, I told him he should get 4wd. He didn't and I had to pull him out multiple times growing up. I still ask when he's gonna add a front axle.
