Autoweek Takes Rubicon to Africa

Autoweek took a couple 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicons to Africa to see if they were tough enough. To no surprise, the vehivles met the challenge head on with only a few 90 degree snags.

The Jeep Wrangler teetered on the cliff’s edge, its nose dangling over one boulder and aiming squarely at a mountain’s worth more. A few folks had scattered around the steep, 90-degree right-hander the Wrangler had just shot through—or, rather, over—variously pointing, crouching or standing with hands on hips, apparently trying to deduce the best way to get the trucklet back on all fours. No one looked overly concerned—at least the concern was not tangible from the vantage point a couple of hundred feet below.
