We’re just a few weeks home from a spirited trek through a Jeep trail in Southern California with my son Phil and long-time friend Phillip, both of whom are off-road enthusiasts, though for different reasons. Friend Phillip lives in the Mojave Desert and his stock Wrangler allows him to go anywhere he likes in search of desert aesthetics and discovery. Son Phil, a career Navy guy in San Diego, has a 2009 Wrangler Unlimited with a bunch of aftermarket extras like front sway bar disconnects, huge winch, fording stacks and a few other goodies. He mostly loves the adventure of it all and he found us a nice Jeep trail to Idlewild where we challenged his Wrangler enough to give us a heightened appreciation of this tough, sturdy, no-nonsense off-roader.

Our test truck this week here at home is the 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4X4 75th Anniversary Edition. That’s essentially an Unlimited Sahara with celebratory cosmetics. And, this thing is loaded. Starting out at $33, 695 we have over fourteen grand in options with a final bottom-line price on the sticker of $48,530. The basic, stripped down Wrangler Unlimited begins at $27,695. (The “Unlimited” model designation, by the way, means four doors.)
