The Jeep Wrangler is not a model that lacks special and limited editions, rather the contrary, and recent news add yet another one to the fold.

This time, the manufacturer decided to go back to the roots of the Jeep, and drew inspiration from the Willys that made a name for itself in World War II.

The vehicle was fitted with a Command-Trac 4×4 system and a Dana 44 rear axle while the limited slip differential was provided by Trac-Lok.
