Showcase STORM-35, 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon 4 Door 2.0L

STORM-35, 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon 4 Door 2.0L

The All-New Wrangler takes inspiration from the Jeep Brand’s heritage whilst hosting cutting edge technology, connectivity and a refined interior. Featuring: high-quality materials; quieter ride; increased storage space and enhanced comfort and visibility. This 4 door petrol Rubicon model is proving to be the most desirable specification with a 6-8 month waiting list from the dealers.

Modified Suspension

Giving this Jeep the stance it deserves is achieved by lifting it 3.5” using a high end Teraflex Sport ST3 suspension system.
Developed for the Jeep enthusiast looking for a stable highway commute and comfortable trail performance, the 3.5” Sport ST2 Suspension System features front lower Sport Flexarms and Falcon Progressive Bump Stops. The preset Sport Flexarms optimize steering geometry for improved highway handling. The additional lift height clears larger diameter tyres without compromising on- and off-road stability.

Falcon shock absorbers and TeraFlex lift coil springs have been engineered together to improve both compression and rebound for optimal vehicle stability. These Jeep-specific shock absorbers deliver increased stability, improved ride quality, and comfort for daily driven vehicles as well as race-inspired performance, handling, and stability for off-road rigs.

The increased suspension height clears room for chunky 37×12.5” BFGoodrich KM3 tyres fitted to 17 × 8.5” Teraflex Nomad wheels, these cast alloy wheels feature a reinterpretation of the classic six-hole design. Engineered with a “form follows function” philosophy resulting in a technical look complement the Jeep aesthetics perfectly.

Rubicon Off Road Capability

The Rubicon is equipped with the gear you need to take on the trails. Tru-Lok front and rear electronic locking differentials lock power and distribute it evenly between the wheels for ultimate traction during low-speed rock crawling. Pushing the dashboard-mounted sway bar button disconnects the sway bar and allows your front wheels to drop and compress, improving articulation. A heavy-duty 4:1 low-range transfer case delivers outstanding torque and low-speed control for impressive off-road performance. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is also equipped with front and rear Dana 44 axles. The axles are beefed up with thicker tubes and forgings for superior strength, rigidity and durability.

Interior Features

The interior is where you will find major improvements over the previous generation JK Wrangler. Modern in every way, the interior of the JL Wranger raises the bar to new heights. Heritage tan Mckinley leather-trimmed bucket seats with accent stitching and Rubicon logo perfectly complement the black exterior, Leather trim heated steering wheel, new customizable 7-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display and an available Uconnect® system 4C NAV with an 8.4-inch touchscreen with full Apple and Android connectivity , you’ll always drive in comfort and style. The Jeep also features optional extra technology pack which adds blind spot indicators and keyless entry.

Open-air freedom is at the heart of every Wrangler. There are big improvements all-around for the new Wrangler, including a new lightweight Freedom Top hardtop with easily removable roof panels.

Exterior Enhancements

The eye catching appearance of the Jeep is accentuated with body-color fender flares and body-color hardtop which is not standard on the Rubicon Specification.

We used a matching set of Poison Spyder Crawler front and rear recovery bumpers. The Crawler Series Bumpers combine tough off-road performance with cutting edge styling in a full featured premium bumper. Fabricated entirely of high strength 3/16” plate steel, special proprietary tooling gives these bumpers their signature large-radius bends and die-formed corner features.

The ends of the front Crawler recovery bumper extend far enough to protect the lower corner of the JL grille, but not far enough to hinder tyre clearance or tyre access to vertical obstacles. This recovery bumper mounts a Warn Tabour 10,000lbs winch with synthetic rope, LED Fog lights and 3/4” D-ring recovery points.

Crawler rear bumper features Poison Spyder’s frame mounted tyre carrier, integrated class III tow hitch, extreme duty recovery shackle tabs and recessed mounts for LED Fog lights. Storm Jeeps have modified this bumper to incorporate rear parking sensors, UK spec numberplate and rear view camera.

The frame mounted tyre carrier is the ultimate combination of strength, ease of use, high clearance and great looks. It attaches directly to the strongest structure on the Jeep: the frame. This removes the weight and stresses of large, heavy spare tyre from the Jeep’s tailgate, body tub, and bumper. The single-action opening is the pinnacle of convenience, requiring only a single hand to open the tailgate and tire carrier in tandem.

Poison Spyder products are coated in SpyderShell™ which is more than just powder coating—it’s a complete system that includes the state of the art in preparation, application, materials and packaging to ensure they stay looking great for years.

Storm Jeeps have also fitted an ARB Safari brand Snorkel allows direct cool air into the engine when driving through conditions that threaten normal air inlets.
