=== JK Wrangler Unlimited ===
[[File:Jeep Wrangler Unlimited - Mondial de l'Automobile de Paris 2014 - 003.jpg|thumb|The Wrangler Unlimited was the only American four-door convertible in production before the new [[Ford Bronco]] came out in July 2021.]]
The JK series 2007 Wrangler Unlimited was unveiled at the [[New York Auto Show]] on April 12, 2006. It is stretched even more than the TJ model, and featured four doors. This change made it the last-remaining 2-door SUV in [[North America]] to gain a four-door option and made it the only four door convertible in production. A full 20.6 inches (523 mm) was added to the JK Wrangler's 95.4-inch (2423 mm) wheelbase. It hit the production line in August 2006 and was priced near $21,000.
The Unlimited has the same engine and transmission choices as a short-wheelbase JK. X and Sahara trims offer an option of 4x2 rear-wheel drive in the US. Optional 4x2 was discontinued after the 2010 model year for the Unlimited. 4-wheel drive became standard for the 2011 model year.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Firan |first1=Zia |title=Programmer Tuners for Jeep JK |url=https://jeepequipment.com/tuners-and-programmers-for-jeep-jk/ |access-date=8 December 2019 |work=JeepEquipment |date=31 January 2019}}</ref> After the [[Hummer H1]] was discontinued in 2006, the JK Wrangler Unlimited was the only four-door convertible available in the US until the new [[Ford Bronco]] came out in July 2021.

[[File:Paris Motor Show 2012 (8065298743).jpg|thumb|Interior]]
The Standard Wranglers are available in six trim packages (including 2 special editions). The Unlimited Wranglers are available in four trim packages (including 1 special edition). Most packages can be ordered with either hard or soft top, full or half doors ("Sport" and "Rubicon" only).
The '''Sport''' base model is available in 2-door versions. It is the "bare bones" Wrangler that can be customized to a buyer's specifications by adding such options as air conditioning and other accessories. It was originally called the "Wrangler X" until 2009. Later, stain-resistant YES Essentials cloth seats replaced standard vinyl seats, an AM/FM stereo with single-disc CD/MP3 player and auxiliary audio input jack, and full-sized spare tire and wheel came standard on this model.

=== Postal Service ===
The Wrangler was available with factory installed [[right-hand drive]], targeted at U.S. Mail carriers. Rural mail boxes in the United States are serviced with the carrier behind the wheel, also useful for carriers who wish to get out of their vehicle without the risk of getting hit by traffic. For the 2007 and 2008 model years, the right-hand drive Jeep was the short-wheelbase Wrangler. For the 2009 model year, the right-hand drive Wrangler was replaced by the right-hand drive Wrangler Unlimited.
=== AIL Storm Mark III ===
An AIL '''Storm''' ''Mark III'' was set to be produced for the Israeli defense forces starting in June 2008, when the IDF was to purchase around 600 vehicles beginning in early 2011. Based on the then new four-door Jeep Wrangler JK design, the Mark III is meant to address some of the shortfalls of the earlier Mark II. Whereas the previous vehicle was an update of the original TK Storm, the Storm III was designed from the outset with a five-door configuration. Unlike the TJ-L, the new JK Storm has a much higher maximum load capacity in part due to heavier-duty [[shock absorber]]s, springs and axles, necessary for an armored version. It includes a standard 2.8L Italian [[VM Motori]] [[turbodiesel]] and automatic transmission.<ref name = "YnetSufa3">{{Cite news | url = http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3406023,00.html#n | script-title=he:תעשיית רכב נצרת תציג בקרוב את הסופה-3 | author = בני ברק | publisher = [[Ynet]] | date = 2007-05-29 | access-date = 2008-07-06|language=he}}</ref>
