Proud of its 1941 roots

Jeep has a proud history, which stretches all the way back to 1941. This was the year the first military Jeeps were produced and to celebrate its lineage, Jeep and Mopar parts have combined to build the Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition. Finished with special graphics and some trick bits, the Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition is sure to appeal to those Jeep fans who are strong on the brand's traditional values. 

Go anywhere attitude in 2020

Using the hugely capable Wrangler platform for its 1941 Edition, this Jeep is certainly not shy of work. With full Rubicon specification, it has no less than three differential locks to ensure secure traction on even the trickiest of surfaces. Jeep's sway-bar disconnect function can also be triggered at low speeds to loosen-up even more individual wheel travel.

Goes easily with the (air)flow

True to type, the Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition has a removable roof structure. With a regular Rubicon, some latches and Jeep's own provided toolkit make it very easy to convert into an open-top vehicle. This Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition has a canvas soft-top, which makes it an ideal summer exploration vehicle. The soft-top provides additional airflow and cooling, for when you are rolling along at low speed on a challenging off-road course.

Bold design upgrades

This special edition Wrangler is distinguished by its bright-hued finish which perfectly contrasts with black details. Part of the kit upgrades for the Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition includes a snorkel that funnels cooler and dust-filtered air into the engine compartment, supplementing the conventional front grille function. The Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition also has a bold bonnet graphic upgrade.

Many shadowed details

The black graphic theme continues along the Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition's sides, with elegant '1941' imbued strips. The wing-mirrors are also finished in black and those bonnet side-clips are black too. Jeep's styling specialists collaborated with Mopar to create an overall colorway that works tremendously well.

It rides higher

The Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition has all the capability which has made Jeep so legendary over the decades. Its Rock-Trac transfer case drives Dana 44 axles, which will keep going long after most rivals have given-up and turned around. There is also a two-inch suspension lift too, which increases approach and departure angles, making this Jeep 1941 Edition even more capable. Rock sliders are also in place to limit damage when you make underbody contact in very technical terrain.

Trail rated - always

The Wrangler Rubicon 1941 Edition is a showcase for the treasure of custom kit Mopas has developed. More than 200 accessories are on the catalog for the Wrangler and most of them can be ordered as options on your very own Jeep. Whether you like the rock-sliders for more off-road confidence or a snorkel for water crossing capability, Mopar has your back. Some of the styling items, such as the black details and new 18-inch Beadlock alloy rims, can also be ordered separately.
