The JK series 2007 '''Wrangler Unlimited''' was unveiled at the [[Auto show|New York Auto Show]] on April 12, 2006. It is stretched even more than the TJ model, with four doors and 20.6 in (523 mm) added to the JK Wrangler's 95.4 in (2423 mm) wheelbase. It is likely to compete with larger off-road machines like the [[Toyota FJ Cruiser]] and [[Hummer H3]], and will be priced near $21,000.

The Unlimited is offered with either rear- or four-wheel drive and three trim levels, ''X-S'', ''Sahara'', and ''Rubicon''. The lower two levels have the [[Command-Trac|Command-Trac NV241]] part-time two-speed transfer case with an optional [[Trak-Lok]] [[limited-slip differential]], while the ''Rubicon'' uses a [[Rock-Trak]] version of the NV241 with electronic front- and rear-axle locking.

All ''Unlimited'' models use the 3.8 L [[V6]] engine with 205 [[HP|hp]] (153 kW) and 240 ft·lbf (325 N·m). The 6-speed [[Manual transmission|manual]] is the standard transmission, with a 4-speed [[automatic transmission|automatic]] also offered. The ''Unlimited'' offers more options and equipment than any Wrangler, including standard [[Electronic Stability Control|electronic stability program]] and optional seat-mounted [[Side Airbags|side airbags]], [[Remote Keyless Entry|remote keyless entry]], [[Navigation System|navigation system]], and Sirius [[Satellite Radio|satellite radio]].

==Generations==
===First 4 doors Generation (2007–present)===

=== Origins (2004-2006) ===
'''TJ Wrangler Unlimited'''<br>
In 2004, Jeep introduced the '''Wrangler Unlimited''' with a 10 in (~25.4 cm) longer [[wheelbase]]; it came stuffed with a Dana 44 solid rear axle, 3:73 gear ratio, the legendary '''Command-Trac''' 231 transfer case, and is also known by its unofficial designation of '''LJ'''. However, that version was still 2 doors.
In 2005, Jeep released the '''Rubicon Unlimited''', which had the wheelbase of the Unlimited and the off-road features of the Rubicon, such as front and rear locking differentials, diamond plate rocker guards, Solid front and rear Dana 44 axles, and a tough NVG241 transfer case with a 4:0:1 low range set of gears, 245 75R 16 Goodyear MT/R's, a six-speed manual transmission as well, and many other comfort and convenience options not offered on other Wranglers.
