For those who may have never heard of a Jeep Wrangler
Islander, we will start with that. The
original Jeep Islander was produced between 1988 and 1993. It was an options package for the Wrangler
YJ. There were several color options
available that included white, teal, sunset yellow, Pacific blue and bright
red. Here are some of the other features
that it included:
·
It was available with either half doors or
full doors
·
There was a center console that had cup
holders
·
The floor was carpeted
·
There were optional Alloy wheels that had a 5
spoke design
·
The interior was gray and the seats were the
high back style
·
The fuel tank held a full 20 gallons
·
The Islander logo was featured on the spare
tire cover and the front fenders
·
There were sunset graphics on the hood as
well as on the lower body
·
Side steps and wheel flares were color
coordinated with the body color
2010
In 2010, the Islander was reintroduced. This is a special edition that was only sold
for a limited time. This was an optional
package and sold for $1,120. This
version of the Islander was available in the following color options: surf blue
pearl, brilliant black crystal, bright silver metallic and stone white. All of these color options were clear
coats. The model was distinguishable by
the decal of Tiki Bob on the hood of the Jeep as well as latitude and longitude
coordinates. These coordinates are meant
to represent a location that relates to the Islander theme. It also featured side steps in black as well
as 17 inch MOAB wheels and 32 inch tires.
This version of the Islander was available on the
Wrangler Unlimited and the Wrangler.
Inside the Islander, you will find that the seats had
surf blue inserts with a dark gray background and featured blue stitching as
well as a Tiki Bob logo embroidered on the rear of the seat. The steering wheel has been wrapped in
leather that features blue stitching and there are rubber floor mats made by
MOPAR.
Now, as stated before, you could purchase this option for
$1,120 new. What if you had an older
Jeep that you wanted the Islander package for?
That is actually easier to achieve than you might
think. All that you need to do is to
find the correct paint colors for the body as well as a paint shop that will do
it for you. Once that is done, all that
is left is to get our accessories. Each
one of the Islander accessories can be found in various places online. Whether it is the tire cover or the MOPAR floor
mats, all you need to do is look for them, buy them and install them and you
are good to go.
