Jeep Wrangler — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Jeep / List of Jeep Wrangler Models without Timing Belt

The Jeep Wrangler is a four-wheel drive off-road SUV produced by the American manufacturer Jeep. It is manufactured within the Italian conglomerate FCA (now Stellantis). In 1987, it succeeded the legendary Jeep CJ, which is the consumer version of the Willys MB, a military vehicle used by the United States Army during World War II. It is a rather peculiar vehicle, as it cannot be categorized in any particular segment.

The Wrangler has had a total of 4 generations. Each of them consists of multiple versions, with different surnames depending on their bodywork, which can be 2-doors or 4-doors. Some of its most famous variants are the Wrangler Laredo, Wrangler Renegade, Wrangler Sport, Wrangler SE, Wrangler Limited, Wrangler S and Wrangler Rubicon.
