Jeep's newest Wrangler variant, the JL-2A, revives design cues straight from the marque's first civilian model. The signature orange wheels return, paired with the boxier, military-inspired styling that defined the original CJ-2A decades ago. For Jeep collectors who track lineage as closely as horsepower, it's a factory nod to where the brand's civilian story began.
