The car's [[Automobile body|body]] and [[chassis]] were completely redesigned during the era when Jeep was part of [[Daimler AG#Merger with Chrysler|DaimlerChrysler]]. Just like the [[Willys MB]], the [[Jeep CJ|CJ Jeeps]] and the Wranglers before it, the JK continues to have a separate body and frame, rigid [[solid axle|live axles]] both front and rear, a fold-flat windshield, and can be driven without doors. Also, with the exception of optional 4x2 models, the Wrangler JK continues to have part-time [[Jeep four-wheel-drive systems|four-wheel drive systems]], with the choice of high and low gearing.
In addition to the traditional 2-door Jeep, the JK introduced for the first time a factory standard four-door model, called the Wrangler Unlimited. Contrary to the first, [[Jeep Wrangler (TJ)#Wrangler Unlimited|TJ-based Unlimited]], and the CJ-8 "Scrambler", its wheelbase is stretched by 20 instead of 10 inches. The Wrangler Unlimited became a big sales success — by mid-2017 three quarters of all new Wranglers listed for sale were four-door models

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.
