TJ Long Wheelbase

[Bruce Kerney]

Can anyone tell me if a two door TJ Long Wheel Base Wrangler was every released in Australia, or if indeed there is such a thing as a two door long wheel base JK

I believe there was a long wheel base Wrangler called the LJ based on the TJ, but I don't think we ever got in in Australia.

you can buy two door long unlimited JKs ( J8 ) from AEV in the US.

In Overlander magazine March 2006 Article starting Page 24 , there appears a TJ that is longer than a short wheel base but no where near as long as the one above, sort of a "Mid wheel base" and its from the the people Casey mentioned above AEV in the states, but I assumed they used a factory vehicle and just modified with add ons.
I remember the CJ8 of years ago but this is a normal Wrangler with what appears about another foot of length. They call it a TJ Wrangler Unlimited, but I assumed the Unlimited is a model option like Sport, Renegade, Larado, Rubicon....

The Unlimited is the stretched TJ, 10" longer than the standard TJ and never sold here :(

How nice for the Unlimited to be released here, even though can't find any info on Jeep webpage. That little bit of extra length in body allows that little bit more space gear and leg room for rear seat.
