The record

The Sahara carried over to the coil-sprung TJ with the 4.0-litre, air conditioning, a full console, 30-inch tyres on 15-inch alloys and body-colour flares; the 2004 Unlimited took a Sahara trim before the name returned on the JK.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
