4WD Wrangler: An Adventure Closer To Home

Have you heard about the two Brits attempting to cross the Atlantic naked in a pedal boat? Or about Austrian lunatic, Felix Baumgartner, attempting to break the world freefall record by jumping from a balloon at 36.5 km high. It seems that these days people are willing to go to extraordinary lengths for an adventure. Sure, freefalling from what is essentially the edge of space is bound to have its advantages but it’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea.

But despite constantly reading about these extraordinary (and sometimes extremely foolish) adventure seekers, you don’t always have to put your life on the line to get the adrenaline flowing. Of course, for it to be a real adventure, there needs to be an element of risk involved. Otherwise you might as well just sit at home on the couch. But there is a way to straddle the line between too dangerous and too easy.

In a 4WD Wrangler in the Australian Outback you can experience your very own adventure. The risks are there for sure. Underestimate the Aussie Outback at your peril. As well as the lack of food and water, there’s the heat and its sheer size to contend with. Many have met disaster and tragedy out there, so you need to know what you’re doing.

Of course, with the legendary Jeep® engineering for company, you know that your chances of getting into trouble are greatly reduced. The Jeep Wrangler is one of the best-engineered 4WD vehicles in history. It was designed and built to be able to stand up to even the toughest conditions. So you can set off on your adventure safe in the knowledge that you’ll be coming back safely.

The standard 3.8L overhead valve 60-degree V6 engine is made from cast iron and provides robust performance. Unlike most other 4x4s that are made purely for show, you know a Wrangler can really cut it on the trail. And the superior ride is augmented by noise reduction features and heavy-duty five-link solid front and rear axle suspension. So, no matter what's in your way, you’re going to get round it or over it. As well as this, the Wrangler offers strengthened driveshafts, lower spring rates and monotube shock absorbers.

It might not be naked mid-Atlantic pedalling (clothes and salt water equals chaffing, apparently) or nearly 40 km off the Earth’s surface, but a Jeep Outback adventure is certainly enough to get the blood flowing and the heart pounding. So if it’s time for your own adventure, a 4WD Wrangler could be just what you’ve been looking for.
