New Jeep Wrangler SUV with Startech looks

MT, PR,
18 June 2007.

Despite the successive waves of sports utility vehicles and crossovers of different sizes, origins, body styles and prices, some references still hold the traditional keys of the whole segment, even after it fragmented into several sub-segments.

One of the major keys of this segment is still held by Jeep, and in particular, by the Jeep Wrangler model, the original, the ‘mother’ of all off-road vehicles.

To customize the latest generation of the American 4x4 and make it even more exclusive, Startech is developing an innovative accessories program for both the short and long wheelbase versions of the model.

In a first step, Startech offers custom-tailored light-alloy wheels, some initial exterior modifications and exclusive interior options.

With their striking five-spoke wheels, the polished Startech Monostar IV 9Jx20 light-alloy wheels lend the new Jeep Wrangler a more exclusive appearance.

Mounted with sporty on- and off-road tires in size 285/50 R 20 front and back, the Startech wheels / tires combination gives the SUV more agile handling characteristics and improved driving safety. 

While the Startech design program for the new Wrangler is still under development, the first stainless-steel components will be available shortly. Sturdy tubular side guards for short and long wheelbase models protect the rocker panels of the Jeep and partially hide the Jeep’s frame from view.

The spare wheel cover with high-gloss stainless-steel ring adds the finishing touch.

The Startech motor engineers are also currently developing the Startech SD 4T tuning module for the 2.8-liter (171 cu. in.) common-rail turbodiesel engine. 

Startech sport exhausts will soon be available for all engine and body variants of the Jeep. The fully stainless-steel exhausts feature one characteristic oval chrome tailpipe each on the right and left, and produce a more sonorous engine sound, while at the same time optimizing power yield.

The interior of the Jeep can also be upgraded with Startech accessories such as an ergonomically shaped Startech sport steering wheel and polished scuff plates for driver and passengers.

Additional customization requests can be fulfilled by the Startech upholstery shop, with partial or full leather interiors made from especially soft yet durable Mastik leather.

Market-specific prices, shipping costs and other information - or inquiries - about the Startech design and tuning range can be obtained from the Startech website.
