My wife and I have a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "JK" that we ordered from the factory in January 2012 and took delivery of (in Provo, UT) on 17 April 2012. Our Wrangler Rubicon has been THE most reliable vehicle I've owned in the seventy-five years of my life. I salute all of you highly dedicated workers at the Toledo, Ohio Jeep facility. As a World War II (mostly Pacific War) historian, I can assure you I'm well aware of Jeep's origins and the role the original Jeep played in the conduct and outcome of the Second World War. Thank you very much, Jeep and all of Jeep's employees over your eighty-two year history! The Jeep Wrangler reigns supreme among all 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Great video!
I ordered my wrangler on July 14th. Now on September 25 th it still hasn't arrived and the tracking app usually doesn't work. Horrible customer care and service
The people that build Jeeps and the the people own them deserve better management then Stellantis/Chrysler. Plastic engine components and engineering to ensue that after-market parts are required for serious off road driving is today's price of getting a solid front axle. Willis did a great job for the Great Generation, Kaiser did a better job for the Boomers in Vietnam and AMC did a fair job for them after they came home.But today a lot of former Jeep owners drive Toyota and Nissan trucks
I can't speak for what "lots" of former Jeep owners drive. I had a Datsun 510, 1971 model while in the Navy (1970-1971). That was for my wife to drive. Personally, I owned a fair number of Land Rovers (88 & 109-inch), various Rover cars (2000, 2000TC's, 3500NAS, and 3500SD-1), and one gray market Range Rover between 1964-1993. No Rover product I ever owned came anywhere near the reliability and build quality of my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Realizing that Rover products were prone to needing parts and service and that parts and service were hard to impossible to get for many owners in the U.S., I opened and operated my own parts and service business from July 1974 to 1 January 1986. About a year prior to closing the doors to McKane's Rover Imports, I wrote to Mr. Iacocca and tried to have him purchase Land Rover Limited from the British Government. When in December 1986 Chrysler announced they were buying AMC/Jeep, I thought I had made the biggest failure in my life. It took a few years, more appropriately until 2012, that I finally decided "Iacocca was much smarter than I was" and that Chrysler had bought the right company. I'll say this again: My 2012 Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon has been almost 100 percent reliable. The only warranty or replacement part on it in its eleven plus years of my and my wife's use, was when the mid-level navigation system failed at about 11,000 miles. It was replaced free of charge by the selling dealer, Larry H. Miller Chrysler/Jeep in Provo, Utah. I have never worked for Jeep or any other domestic vehicle manufacturer. When I left the Rover/Land Rover business in January 1986, I began work on researching the 7 Dec. 1941 attack on the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. I've been at tis line of work (both part time and full time) since October 1983. I hope to have my first book, CLOSING THE LOOP ON PEARL HARBOR, in publication sometime next year (2024). (As a P.S., before moving to Hawaii in 2019, we sold my wife's Jeep, a 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland diesel. I promised her we'd get her a new Jeep---any model she wants---"as soon as I'm finished writing my first book." My wife, Debbie, wants a Gladiator. If that is what we buy, it'll be a Gladiator Rubicon. A new Jeep before we complete work on "my" first book, would, undoubtedly, be far too much of a distraction for me and imposition on "Andy One-Track's" time.) To the above, I'll add that while we've driven our JK Wrangler Rubicon many times and many miles off road---including Moab---we have NEVER abused the Jeep off or on the road. Not a single oil leak in eleven plus years. We still have all of the original radiator, heater and air conditioning hoses on our Ruby. THE most reliable vehicle (of any type) I have ever owned.)

Cracked frames fixed yet?
kinda hard to fix deep rust, hence every car owner must work to prevent it.
I love the building of wranglers and showcasing some people involved...but wtf is that music? please hire another background music editor....please.
But how do you get a job here? I've been trying for months
