Lyrics

Sooner or later in this car you will have the idea that it would be better without a roof, right? Of course, the front part of the roof is removed perfectly by unfastening the four “clips” that catch the eye in the car almost immediately. But what about next? How to remove other parts? It’s actually easy and not easy at the same time.

In the trunk, under its raised floor, a plastic stencil awaits us with quite understandable inscriptions Roof, Door and slots for bolts. A tool and instructions for disassembly are carefully placed under this stencil. There are only 3 keys included, but if you think it’s easy, you’re wrong.

First you need to find all the necessary connectors, namely 2 connectors for the front doors and from the trunk lid. And if it was easy to remove the trunk connector, then it took 15 minutes for both doors – it was as unpleasant as possible in the cold. After that, we simply turn the bolts and remove the doors (the windshield frame can be folded forward, but in winter this is superfluous). The roof is already heavier, we need an assistant to help us lift it and carry it to a safe distance.

But to be honest, a beach buggy in minus 15 on a winter field is the most stupid fun in the world that I have tried and … I recommend it to everyone. With no roof, no doors, no common sense, no speed limits, you’re flying over potholes, ruts and potholes. Protects you from the street literally “nothing”. Regular belts do not involve such shocks, and if I had my way, I would add adult four-point sports belts to them. But in general, we turn on the music louder, imagining the summer sand on the beach, the temperature is plus 30 and we get happiness. Eh, it was necessary to take it and disassemble it in the summer.

Specifications

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler is available with three engine options:

  • 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower;
  • 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 270 horsepower;
  • 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 260 horsepower.

All engines are aggregated with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Only the petrol V6 is available with a six-speed manual transmission.

Each of these engines allows the Wrangler to pick up speed with confidence, maneuver quickly and climb steep hills with confidence. The turbocharged engine and diesel V6 are more advanced and both are more economical. The Wrangler’s smooth eight-speed automatic transmission is a real gem, no matter the engine. Her switching is fast and on time. The six-speed manual transmission is good for everyday driving.

Models with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine consume 10 liters in the combined cycle.

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler has less than ideal performance for everyday driving. Its suspension is stiff, which makes the car twitch and shake on uneven pavement. The Wrangler’s boxy body tends to catch side winds, and the Jeep wobbles at high speeds.

Jeep Wrangler 2021 withstands bumps, rides over bumps, rocks and pits without any problems, as it has a clearance from 25 cm to 27 cm. The jeep’s rigid suspension with a solid axle is ideal for off-road.

Notably, all models are equipped with a two-speed transfer case that allows better use of the engine’s torque at low speeds. Other standard off-road features include tow hooks and skid plates. Limited slip and locking differentials are available, as well as an electronic switchable anti-roll bar.

Onboard equipment

For all its menacing looks and hefty price tag, the Wrangler has never been known for premium equipment.

Considering that Rubicon 392 completely inherits the board

Considering that the Rubicon 392 fully inherits the on-board equipment of the 4th generation serial variants, the list will be as follows:

  • Light and tire pressure sensors;
  • Multimedia with 7-inch screen (8.4 inches optional) and Alpine music on 9 speakers with USB and AUX ports;
  • 7 inch virtual dashboard + trip computer;
  • Central lock and remote control key;
  • 4 airbags and child seat mounting;
  • 2-zone climate;
  • Spare full size wheel;
  • Signaling;
  • Immobilizer;
  • Rear parking sensors and camera.

The following systems are responsible for passive safety: ABS, ESP, TCS, DAC and HAC. Of the minuses: cruise control is only the 1st generation and completely absent power seats.

Additionally, as an option for the Rubicon 392, electronic front stabilization disabling and remote engine start via the application will be offered.

COMMAND-TRAC all-wheel drive system
