Mopar’s debut at the Chicago Auto Show is the 2020 Jeep Wrangler JPP 20 Limited Edition.
In simple terms, this is what you would end up with if you raided Mopar’s stash and fitted all the accessories you found on your Wrangler Unlimited. This loaded-up accessory model is only available for 2020 in an unspecified (albeit limited) quantity, hence the ‘JPP 20’ in the name which stands for Jeep Performance Parts 2020.
Mopar boss Mark Bosanac explains best what the JPP 20 is all about. “The new limited-edition Jeep Wrangler JPP 20 is a ‘check-all-the boxes’ off-road vehicle for enthusiasts. We loaded the Jeep brand’s iconic rock crawler with factory-backed and quality-tested, authentic Jeep Performance Parts specifically designed and engineered to tackle the toughest conditions,” he says.
Customers who are interested in getting one must first choose one of the three available engines. The range includes a 270 HP 2.0-liter turbo-four, 285 HP 3.6-liter V6, or the new 260 HP 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. With that out of the way, a decision must be made on the exterior color, though that won’t take long because the only available paints are Ocean Blue or White.
That’s pretty much all the work required from the customer because Mopar will take care of everything else, which is loading up the Wrangler Unlimited with a ridiculous amount of accessories. There are too many of them to list here so we’ll only mention what’s important.
On the outside, the 2020 Jeep Wrangler JPP 20 gets steel tube doors, a custom front bumper with a winch receiver and reinforced D-rings, a waterproof winch, an accessory front skid plate and rock rails.
But wait, there’s more. Mopar will also throw in a mirror relocation kit, a swing gate reinforcement kit and a center high-mount stop lamp relocation kit. The latter moves the third brake light in the center of the spare to allow for the mounting of a larger tire. If you worry about the naked look of the JPP 20, you should know you can always revert to the factory aluminum doors as they are included in the package.
Other exterior upgrades include an American flag hood graphic, ‘JPP’ graphics on the passenger-side quarter panel, laser-etched aluminum ‘JPP’ badge on the driver’s side of the swing gate, as well as blacked out fender vents and fuel door.
Inside, Mopar fits JPP-embroidered Katzkin leather seats, all-weather floor mats and a cargo organizer at the back. FCA’s customizing division will also offer buyers the choice of several kits including a personalized booklet and other memorabilia, along with factory-installed accessory parts. The latter will include a JPP 2.0-inch lift kit, a 5.0- and 7.0-inch LED lighting kit with mounting brackets, and five different JPP accessory wheel styles with four different tire options.
FCA will start taking orders for the 2020 Jeep Wrangler JPP 20 Limited Edition in the second quarter of this year.
