YJ Renegade Model Information

From 1991 until 1994, Jeep produced an options package on the Wrangler listed as the "Renegade Decor Group". Initially, all Renegades were White, Black or Red. In 1993, a Bronze and Blue were added. The Renegade Decor Group was a $4,266.00 option over a base Wrangler in 1991.

Contents of the Renegade Decor Package

  • 4.0 Litre I-6 Engine (mandatory, no 4-bangers in Reneagdes)
  • 29x9.5R15 LT OWL Wrangler A/T Tires
  • 5-Hole Aluminum Wheels, 8 inch wide. Five were included (full size spare)
  • Highback seats with Trailcloth Fabric
  • Off-Road Gas Shocks
  • Power Steering
  • Fog Lamps (integrated into the front fenders, not attatched to bumper)
  • Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel

Additionally, hardtops recieved a mandatory Rear window defroster at a $164.00 premimum. Hardtops themselves were a $923.00 option.

All Renegades typically had the Tilt Steering wheel ($130.00) and an AM/FM/Cassette Stereo Radio ($264.00).

While a base Wrangler with the inline 6 went for $12,356.00, the Renegade package pushed that price up to $18,588.00 in 1991. Dealer mark-up moved the price to $19,273.00.

These vehicles were sent as optioned Wranglers to Auto Style Cars in Detroit, where the Renegade Decor Package was installed, then shipped back to Jeep for delivery to dealers. Renegades all have a small sticker on the driver's side door, right above the latch denoting the visit to ASC.

At the price premimum over a standard Wrangler, sales were fairly limited so finding one today is a rare occurance. The price, plus what hardcore Jeepers felt were "funny looking plastic fenders" limited the sales. However, these are standard Wranglers with the best options available in the years they were produced; all performance parts for engine and driveline as well as suspension from standard Wranglers fit to a Renegade. Some thought is necessary to add "real" bumpers to the vehicles, and many have been poorly modified at this point to accept tow hooks, tow bars or aftermarket bumpers. With the slow sales, one could be reminded of the 1970 Plymouth Superbird which dealers could hardly sell in 1970, but became a very distinct and desirable car as the years progressed.
