The beloved Jeep has been a movie star for some time. I know it's been on cheesy shows like Baywatch but name a show/movie that really made you notice the Jeep.
For me it was Tomb Raider. Not a great movie but the Rubicon the lead character Lara Croft drove was beautiful!
The YJ in Clueless popularized the Wrangler as a mainstream vehicle of the "it" crowd.
The Wrangler and the Prius share being part of a very small group of inexpensive autos accepted in extremely affluent areas. (By inexpensive I mean autos not of luxury or exotic brands......can be purchasdd for less than $100k.)
"Hello, that was a stop sign!" "I totally paused."
There was a special edition that came out with the movie Tomb Raider as well as Sahara. The Sahara version was an unlimited Rubicon and it was known as the Sahara Rubicon. They came with numbered dash placards and only 1000 were made.
Edit: totally right that is the second movie.. Great scene at the end..."There's a storm coming...."
If you guys have Netflix, the show Narcos is really good, and Pablo Escobar drives a Jeep in many of the scenes. Apparently a billionaire drug czar still likes his Jeeps topless!
Jurassic Park has to be my all time favorite movie featuring Jeeps though.
X1000, that's when I fist thought "I have to get a jeep"! Still need a military in the garage, someday!
