2004 Jeep Wrangler Reviews, Pricing & Specs

With the modifications done professionally with a top of the line kit, this vehicle drives and turns like the factory design the day it pulled of the sales floor. I have owned this vehicle since it backed off the car hauler at the dealer. Nothing stops it and with all the gadgets on it its comfortable to drive and a real attention getter.

The performance overall was pretty good. The acceleration was not great, gas mileage was not great, however I did feel safe when driving this especially in the winter months when I could put it in four wheel drive. It was very fun to drive.

Has good smooth power, smooth shifting five speed, lots of fun in the summer and winter, great off road, easy to park, very stylish, decent fuel mileage, took it on 650 mile trip to the beach and had no problems but lots of fun on the beach

The most capable vehicle on the road. Too bad so many of these will never be used to their potential. My Jeep is used for off-roading. I trailer it more now than I did in the past mainly because I wheel it hard and want to be able to get it home if I break something on the trail. The Jeep is a one of a kind and is built like no other. I've owned several Jeeps through the years and have had no issues mechanically with any of them. The 4.0 I-6 is the most reliable engine of all time, in my opinion. I currently have a 2001 WJ with the I-6 at 146,000 miles and it still doesn't use or leak oil.

Anyone that reads this don't buy a jeep wrangler Rubicon they are fun to drive but they will take every Pennie you got to fix them mines been in the shop 14 times in one year and the fuel mileage sux

Dropping the top in the summer is the best! Off-raoding is great. Gas mileage sucks, but then again, who cares! Would definately recommend to anyone wanting to join the cult! Stop thinking about it and just do it! You won't regret it!

Not only does it look great and sounds super strong, but the kind of performance it delivers is totally unexpected out of this vehicle. A real sleeper!! Very cool! Worth every penny of using the higher octane gas. The front and rear hitches are also a big plus for having the option to pull or push with the front. Saving someone by pulling them out of a tricky ditch or snowbank in the winter is great to do with the front of the vehicle since you can look directly at what you are doing. A small plane can be pulled or pushed out of a hanger with a much higher degree of accuracy this way as well.

Originally bought as a cheap ride to work and back. Put 33" tires on it, bought an aftermarket soft top. Been a blast to take off roading and just cruising around with the top off. Great car for young at heart.

We love our jeep! It is so fun in the summer time when you can take the top off and drive around with the wind and sun on your face. The only thing that stinks is there are only two seat belts in the back and we now need three.

Built it myself and the engine is being worked on for more horsepower currently. The only other thing being done is new wheels and tires and lights. It is a very fun car to drive and I love it to death.

Awesome little truck with more room than the conventional wrangler. Crappy Gas economy but still better than other trucks owned. Great realiability and performance. Lasts forever!

Most fun car I've ever owned, hands down. To have the freedom of top up/top down, on- or off-road, 4-wheel drive, expandability... Classic Wrangler look with a nice interior. It does ride "like a Jeep," and it doesn't get the best gas mileage. I've got a short lift (2 inch) on it, and it has a bit of a "death wobble" when it hits potholes. Easy vehicle to work on, but it hardly ever NEEDS it. I just do it for fun!

The best, go anywhere, do anything, cruising convertible you will ever own. Wanna make the guy in his Escalade Jealous... buy a Jeep. You will not regret it. Its NOT practical, its NOT good on gas, but MAN does it ever make you feel good.

We've had the Rubicon since 2005 and we love it! It isnt the most fuel efficient vehicle because of all of the stuff we've added to it...Winch, high-lift jack, bigger tires, lift kit, light bar....but it's fun to drive and will be super useful this winter in the snow

4.0 i6 nothing else better. you can do what ever you want to the engine and it will still run, by far the best engine ever made. So dont buy a new jeep cause there V6s bc chrysler is fucing dumb

I owned a 2004 brand new for 7 years and loved it! Would buy it all over again

This Jeep is one of a kind in my book because it is the first Jeep that i ever drove. It is a wonderful memory and a lot of fun to drive in the mud! The only problem that I ever had with it was the tranny. It had a tendency to get stuck in 2nd gear.

When you buy a Jeep you buy into a lifestyle. The overall onroad performance has much to improve but that isnt the reason why you purchase a Rubicon. The engine has lots of torque and is loud at any speed above zero. The tires are loud at speeds in excess of 80km/h and give off a vibration that you can feel through the jeep. You will not win any races at the stop light with this guy and you will use up the hole hwy on ramp almost every time. The offroad performance is where it counts with this jeep. With low range gearing set at 4:1 and air actuated locking front and rear differentials, you will find it hard to get stuck. This thing crawls over obstacles and powers through the mud. But when you do find yourself in a situation where you are stuck, you will be happy that you signed up to the jeep lifestyle because every jeep owner on the trail would be their to help you out. The appearance is stylish and aggressivie with the rubicon rims and mud terrain tires. As you get into the jeep lifestyle it will be hard not to upgrade you vehicle to improve on its off road abilities. you will find no shortage of parts to help make this vehicle trully unique to you. The cost of this vehicle is relatively high because of the desire of the Rubicon model. But if you are using it for off roading it is worth it. You will get the toys with it that will help you in the sticky situations. The fun factor is really high on this one. If you are just cruising down the road with the top down or rippin up the trails this Jeep fits in everywhere. You will have a blast. Just one thing to remember when you start getting into offroading. Jeep stands for "Just Empty Every Pocket"

Theres nothing wrong with it. Its perfect it can run over anything in its path i dont know why people buy any other car / truck / ute anything. Its tones of fun handles great in the rough stuff. It can get through anything you need or want it to unlike other 2 wheel drives.

Has an inline six cylinder ,the best Jeep engine EVER !

Priced too high for 2004 model. Newer models available for similar prices.

A fun car to own, low maintenance but not ideal if you have a few kids and need room to carry them and all their sports gear etc around. But should last long enough to become my son's first car!

Love the jeep, it's Raw and hardcore. I have had ZERO mechanical problems and have been a proud Jeep owner for 6 months now. that being said, the GAS MILEAGE is TERRIBLE. maybe its just the ulimited but that thing burns through gas like you wouldnt believe!

A Wrangler is not a car, and its not an SUV. its a way of life.

Nice car, love offroading in it, powerful, only problem is the gear ratio leaves it sucking gas down. used it to move from pittsburgh to san diego, able to pull more than its gvw when put to the test

Fun on the trail but not worth the money invested in the long run

Needs tires (worn)and wheels (rust),Mechanically good, engine needs plugs and tune or fuel filter change. Drives straight, 4H and 4L work well, seats need work. If your up to some work its OK

Wrangler SE has the traditional "old style" Jeep look. Great on the beach with the top down. The 2.4 engine with stick is as basic yet as reliable as they come. What fun is summer without a good ol' Jeep.

It was a lot of fun! Banging through the gears with the top down, not fast or sporty but a lot of fun. Makes you feel like you're experiencing the road! Would def drive again, own, or take off road.

It fish tailed in a light rain while test driving, couldnt see out back window, this is best for off-road driving.

We own the jeep wrangler unlimited, its long than the 2004 soft top. I have the hard top. Love it!

about 200 hp, awesome 0-60 top speed about 90, handles like crap, great off road, body has dents and dings, pretty uncommon electric lime green paint, interior is in amazing shape, bad gas mileage, with soft top down it is awesome to drive

Its a Jeep what else do you have to say. It is not going to win any beauty contest or beat a porche in the 1/4 mile but dont follow me if you plan on making it to the other side.

It's a jeep. Very fun vehicle. Powerful I-6 4.0L engine. Hard to get stuck in it. Gas mileage with that 4.0 is to great about 18 mpg. Maintenance isn't bad keep oil and gas in it and it'll go though anything. Drop the top, crank up the radio, and head off road.

Awesome go anywhere vehicle (except 2ft of mud, lol)

The only real negative thing I had with this vehicle is the back seat space there should be a way to slide seat back and eliminate the so called trunk space and have a little more room for back seat passengers. other than that it handles great price was good always comfy for the front seat people and theres so many combos of accessories that you can really make your different from the rest

It is amazing in the woods gets so so gas mileage convertible can take the doors off has enough power so its fun to drive people are amazed when they see me pulling out full size trucks

More reliable than my initial perception. Old age takes it toll regardless

A Wranglerr is the best Florida vehicle. I love being to take the top off and ride but when it comes to interstate power, there is none. But hey, who's in a hurry when your riding a Jeep anyway. For a weekend vehicle a Jeep is ideal. As for me, I enjoy riding with the top down on my way to work. Kinda clears my mind.
