New Wrangler special edition - Willys Wheeler

[TerryMason]

Jeep has released a new special edition for 2014 - the Willys Wheeler. I'm not a fan of the all blacked out look personally, but I know it's popular. I do like the idea of a special edition geared towards offroaders. It comes with a Dana44 and rock rails

"The new Willys Edition is based on the Wrangler Sport. It features upgraded hardware, including a Dana 44 rear axle with Trac-Lok® limited-slip rear differential and 3.73 gears"

Don't base JKs come with a Dana30 + 35 combo?

I thought all JK's had a d44 rear axle these days.

All JKs come with 44s these days. Several years ago jeep killed the 35 noting its weakness it cant handle the 4 door models and keep its trail rated badge.

Hmm, I had no idea. That's pretty cool. I just went to Jeep's site and tried to build a bunch of different models - the only mention of axle was that you could upgrade to a 3.73 gear ratio.
