"Twenty years ago, a small group of enthusiastic Jeep engineers affectionately known as the 'Lunatic Fringe,' with grit and determination and their personal credit cards, designed, engineered and developed the most capable Wrangler yet – the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon – and overdelivered on everyone's expectations because they knew it was what Jeep customers wanted," said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. "Today the Rubicon model represents about a quarter of overall Wrangler sales, with more than 700,000 sold worldwide, and include the electrified Rubicon 4xe, the best-selling and most capable PHEV in America. That same spirit of determination and ingenuity that led to the creation of the Wrangler Rubicon lives on in these new 20th anniversary special editions, which for the first time, bring available 37s to the Wrangler, providing unmatched capability."

Wrangler Rubicon: 20 years of unmatched capability 
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon was originally developed as an internal underground project, led by a small group of passionate Jeep engineers who envisioned a more off-road-focused Wrangler, one that featured popular aftermarket capability upgrades as factory equipment, all backed by a full warranty.

The result was the most capable production off-road vehicle the world had ever seen – the 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Introduced at Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, in spring 2002, the original Wrangler Rubicon started production in summer 2002, and went on to beat all sales expectations.
