Body Colour Hardtop Roof Demand Causes Increase In Production On JK Wrangler

Demand in the USA is so strong for Jeep Wranglers with body-color removable hardtops that Chrysler is expanding availability to a second trim level for 2012 model. The Body-Colour Roof option will be available on the top-end Rubicon as well as the Sahara (Renegade Pack in Australia). Body-color fender flares also are part of the deal.

The iconic Jeep enjoyed its best-ever month in July with 14,355 deliveries with over 20% of US buyers opting for the Body-Colour Roof option on the Sahara model. Chrysler now has enough capacity to produce a body-color roof for every 2012 Sahara and Rubicon hardtop it can build after its supplier CTP, has increased capicity to meet the demand.
2012 Hardtop buyers will also benefit from engineering changes and re tooling required to accommodate the body color with CTP making some further improvements to the roof design including larger windows and finger grab handles for easier removal. Fingertip grips were molded into the removable panels above the driver and front-row passenger to assist with carrying.
The new 2012 Wrangler and 4-door Wrangler Unlimited are available in four new colors: Dozer Yellow, Deep Molten Red, Sahara Tan and Crush Orange. These colours will not be arriving here until the new year. Australian versions will also be coming with the Hardtop roof standard and dual top roof as an option. The new 2012 models will also have the Pentastar V6 3.6L engine and will be arriving in Australia at the end of the year.
Unfortunately the Body Colour Roof Option will not be available in Australia yet. Our Renegade Pack models will only have the existing Black roof and fender flairs. So we are running a Poll to see if Aussie buyers want this option.
