Thinking about a vehicle that can tackle the rugged dirt roads here in Southern Arizona? Jeep is the obvious choice. And when it comes to Jeep in Southern Arizona, Greg is the guy to talk to. He owns a Jeep and drives it off road, not just to work. Oh yea, he sells them too. Here are some pictures of a trip we took in this new four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Unlike the previous Wrangler Unlimited, a stretched version of the standard two-door, the 2007 Wrangler Unlimited uses a 20.6-inch-longer wheelbase to make room for full-size rear doors. It's 5.5 inches wider than previous Wranglers, same as the standard two-door Wrangler models.
The Wrangler debuted in 1987, was updated in 1997 and again in 2007, the Wrangler is produced in Toledo, Ohio. It has a 202 hp, 3.8-liter V6 Engine
In 2004, Jeep introduced the Wrangler Unlimited. In 2007 model year brought the complete redesign of the Jeep Wrangler, in both two and four-door models. This is the first generation of the Jeep Wrangler to have a change in the tail lamps. This one has the optional 3-piece modular hardtop and full size doors
The long-wheelbase Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4-door, is available in three packages; X, Sahara and Rubicon.

Stability control is a new safety feature for the JK Wrangler. All versions offer off-road tuned anti-lock brake system and traction control system with electronic limited slip differential.
This ride was a lot of fun. We got out of town and up into the mountains in no time, and there were many roads to drive on
Saguaro cactus grow all over the deserts around Tucson. And existing 4x4 roads lets you experience areas few others have seen
The only disappointing part of our ride was the decision to turn around. However we knew the drive back out would be just as fun as the way in was.
