Overview & Reviews

After setting a new trail with a complete redesign last year, the Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited travel into 2008 with only minor equipment changes. These include a standard Sunrider soft top on Wrangler Sahara and Rubicon models, optional remote ignition and a new Sahara appearance package for both two- and four-door versions.

• Superior off-road ability, surprisingly fun to drive around town, rough-and-tumble image, availability of two- and four-door versions, upscale navigation system.

• Noisy with standard soft top, finicky soft top operation, mediocre acceleration and on-road handling, no power mirrors, too many hard plastic contact points.

  NOT STOCK! - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By DK - September 12 - 1:13 am

  My jeep is highly modified i.e.-motor performance bolt-ons, bumpers, tires(37"tall), 4 lift, 5.13 gears, dual steering stabilizers, etc. I love off roading it and all the looks I get driving on the street. Big fun in a small package. However I have many other rigs to drive on a daily basis better suited to my needs depending on what I am doing. This jeep is for fun only! It is not the best only rig to have.

  So Far So Good! - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By ajb1975 - July 13 - 1:16 pm

  I purchased it used with 8K and have had it for 2 weeks. I have to admit its one of the most fun cars Ive owned. The ride is great compared to earlier years. Get the 6 speed over the sluggish automatic. Summer is coming and I have both tops (soft top is going on in 2 weeks). As far as long term reliability, cant answer that yet.

  Unreliable - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By Denise Mesmer - July 6 - 5:40 pm

  We have owned our Jeep for a little over 1 year and are in the process of having it towed for the 4th time back to the dealer. Three times for the throttle body light and once for a problem we have heard referred to as the death wobble. The entire front end shook so violently that it rendered the vehicle uncontrollable and impossible to hold on to the steering wheel. The Throttle body issue although not dangerous leaves me without transportation and Jeep wants me to buy an upgraded warranty to pay for my own rental. At best the vehicle is unreliable and uncertainty steals the fun out of driving it. The door hinges are rusting under the paint and causing the paint to bubble. Lemon. Run

  Better equipment further to get stuck - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By hammer - March 20 - 9:23 pm

  I havent driven a jeep in 20 years. The Rubicon has a good comfortable ride, low range no doubt is a true rock crawler, to truly enjoy the vehicle have no less than 5K on the vehicle. Great equipment, Keep in mind the better the equipment the further to get in deep trouble and far away from the nearest towing garage. I was once told that you need to buy an Wrangler X to build it up a true jeep. Dont believe that, there plenty of more building to get the Rubicon where you want it.

  Silly boys jeeps are for girls - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By shar52 - February 22 - 3:50 pm

  I bought this Jeep and I just love the ride that I get out of it. What I dont like is the inside of the doors get scratched so easy. I bought it in Michigan then moved to Virginia and the dealers here dont do much for you. Not like the big city. This Jeep could have more get up and go. I have the six speed manual and when its cold out it jumps out of second gear all the time. I bought a lot of chrome for it(bumper, side boards, gas cap,mud flaps) now everyone that sees it says it looks like a hummer. I love my JEEP
