Jeep Wrangler Islander Parts


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.
