MASTER THE MUCK

Jeep® Brand 4x4 vehicles have sealed electrical systems, a high air intake and available skid plates for additional undercarriage protection against muddy conditions. 

Outstanding 4x4 technology

Outstanding 4x4 technology

The Jeep® Brand is one of the world leaders in 4x4 technology—it’s the backbone of the brand. Our sophisticated 4x4 systems let you find your own way up, down, through or around almost anything. You can trust the Jeep Brand with its 80-plus years of 4x4 excellence to help you tackle nearly anything Mother Nature sends your way.

OFF-ROAD DIFFERENTIALS

Transferring power to the wheels is one of the most important aspects of 4x4 driving. Jeep® Brand vehicles include either mechanical, electronic or brake-assisted differentials to help maximize power delivery to your vehicle's wheels for optimal traction.

FRONT SWAY BAR DISCONNECT SYSTEM

This system, standard on the Wrangler Rubicon, lets you automatically disengage the front sway bar when driving under 18 mph in 4 Low Mode. The front wheels can then drop and compress for maximum articulation.

SKID PLATES

Many of our vehicles come standard with stamped steel skid plates. These high-strength steel plates are engineered to help protect your Jeep® Brand vehicle's guts when battling boulders and jagged rocks.

ROCK RAILS

Available extra-tough body-mounted rails (aka rock sliders or sill guards) help provide additional protection when off-roading.

BODY-ON-FRAME DESIGN

Wrangler and Wrangler four-door models are built with a frame that is fully boxed for strength, flexibility and durability.

DANA 44™ HEAVY-DUTY SOLID AXLES

Durability comes from heavy shafts, stiff housings, large pinion bearings and above-center pinion mountings for smooth and quiet operation. (Front Dana 44™ heavy-duty axle is standard only on the Wrangler Rubicon. Dana 30™ front axle is standard on all other models.)
