Jeep
MODEL / TRIM
Wrangler Unlimited High Tide
COLOR
Hydro Blue Pearlcoat
ENGINE
Etorque V-6 with lithium battery and 90 lbs. ft. torque boost below 2,000 rpm for off-road and on-road performance. Does not change top-end HP and torque numbers. Just fattens up the torque curve down low = fun to drive, lively. A 2 mpg overall improvement over stock V-6 with ESS is a plus.
TRANSMISSION
850RE
PACKAGES
25D High Tide, safety package
FACTORY OPTIONS
Xtreme Recon axles (Dana 44) non-locker, steel steering knuckles, performance brakes, 35s on 8x17 rims, 1.5 in. lift, 4.56 gears, LED lights

35" Tires
MODS - SUSPENSION / CHASSIS
Steel steering knuckles and Recon front (M210 Wide HD) and rear (M220 Wide) axles w/o lockers, with anti-spin diff and brake assisted torque delivery. 4.71 first gear transmission x 4.56 axle ratio x 2.72 transfer case = 58:1 crawl ratio. 1.5 in. lift and 35' All-Terrains yields 12.9 in. ground clearance. 5900 lbs GVWR springs, performance brake group.
MODS - LIFT HEIGHT
1.5" Lift
MODS - POWERTRAIN / DRIVETRAIN
etorque V-6 with lithium battery mild hybrid. 90 lbs-ft added torque from battery available under 2,000 rpm. Smooth, responsive 8-speed transmission (850RE) with excellent programing, gear spacing and a low 4.71 first gear.
MODS - LIGHTING
LED front, rear, fog, turn, license. Noteworthy night driving safety improvement.
MODS - INTERIOR
Simple, basic = improved reliability + low cost = value (thoughts based on two previous Wranglers)
MODS - IN-CAR ELECTRONICS
Kept it simple here too, 7 in. screen and base speakers. A surprisingly good value and quality.
HISTORY / EXPERIENCE / COMMENTS
Roads are poor enough out on the island here in Puerto Rico for lift and 35s to make sense not just off-road, but on.
