Sahara - body colored fender flares and most of the comfort stuff. Rubicon - heavy duty axles, air lockers, low range transfer case, larger tires. best suited for off-road use
Taller springs and shocks
i was wondering what the difference is between the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Rubicon A: Sahara is a wrangler trim package (it's the same vehicle) A:Rubicon is a wrangler with significant upgrades. air locking differentials, suspension lift, tires and wheels, etc.
The difference between them is about $5,000.00 and some bling they are both wranglers. Captain911
The unlimited x is the 4 door version, you would want the Wrangler Sahara or Rubicon.
In 2004 Jeep came out with the two door Wrangler Unlimited, it was 10 inches longer than the standard wrangler. In 2005 Jeep released the Rubicon Unlimited. Later in 2005 they released the "Sahara Edition" Rubicon Unlimited in response to the movie "Sahara" which featured a Jeep Wrangler. They continued producing all three models until 2007 when the four-door Wrangler Unlimited was released.
A TJ is a Wrangler they just say Wrangler because they've changed the designation from CJ to YJ to TJ. The difference for example is a YJ is 1996 and older and a TJ is newer than 1996. The model differences come when they say TJ Sport or Sahara or Rubicon (for instance)
Not much difference between the two, the year between them pretty much equals the difference out. If there is a difference in motors it may make a difference but I would say they are even.
2005 and 2006 Wrangler Unlimited LJ 2 doors were available in Rubicon and Sahara models...
