trim with the special 10th Anniversary Edition, and it is more than just a trim and color package, which often happens with anniversary editions. They will arrive in showrooms in spring 2013. 

The Rubicon is defined by its off-road prowess, and the 10th Anniversary Edition adds to that with wider, steel bumpers with removable end caps for winch mounting. It also gets extra ground clearance, rock rails and BF Goodrich KM2 Off-road Tires. It also gets a red leather interior. 

"It is a unique vehicle that we expect will long be sought after, a Wrangler that offers an unprecedented level of capability once only attainable by long hours of custom aftermarket preparation crafted in the garages of the most avid Jeep enthusiasts in the world," said Mike Manley, Jeep president.

The 10th Anniversary Package is available on either the two-door or four-door Wrangler. It comes with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 285hp and 260lb-ft of torque. For off-road driving, the front and rear differential is electronic locking, and it has a 4:1 low ratio transfer case with a 4.10 rear axle. 

All of those features are available on the standard Rubicon, though. The anniversary package adds a 0.5in (1.27cm) increase in ride height with 17in aluminum wheels that are painted black with polished faces and the Jeep Wrangler icon in red. It is mounted on BF Goodrich off-road tires. It also gets a Power Dome head to pull cool air to the engine. Jeep also added front and rear tow hook, rock rails and tail light guards. It comes standard with a soft top but is available with a three-piece hard top. 

The interior is covered in red leather that covers the seats, wheels and center console. There are buttons for the locking axles and sway bar disconnect

The package is available in Billet Silver, White and Anvil, which is a gunmetal grey exclusive to the 10th Anniversary Edition.
