I'm looking at purchasing a '99 Sahara and before I did I just wanted to know the difference between the different wrangler trims. The sooner the better. Thank you.

If I remember correctly the Sahara trim has color matched fenders and sides. They have a distinct look to them that many either like or hate it. Here is a picture of one found on the web.

So mechanically there is no difference?

 

[RikRotorhead]

NO. It's strictly a trim option. They have a different interior detail and exterior trim detail. The doors have a saddlebag, the seats are usually a sand or spice color, matching top, etc.... Under the skirt it's the same as every other Wrangler that year.

I believe on the Rubi's and Sahara the fender flares are 1" wider than the other models.

The body may look the same but the Rubicon has
Dana 44 front and rear axles, air lockers, 4:10 gears,
SYA kit,4-1 transfere case,4 wheel disc brakes.
The Rubicon is the top of the line.


The Sahara is the next in line. The Rubicon and Sahara share the same
fender flares. But Rubicon's are not painted.

TJ Wranglers: 97-06
