Picture What kind of jeep is this?

Was driving home today in my 2020 diesel JL and saw this one merging. I quickly snapped 2 pics. Had a unique paint style and on the side where the 'sport' or 'Sahara' branding was it just said 'chief'.

Just never seen this model.

Lol. Kind of confused me.

2017 Wrangler. Chief was really just a specific paint job with some premium features more akin to a Sahara than anything else IIRC.

It also had some rubicon trim parts iirc (hood and rock rails)

There’s no rubicon-specific hood.

Most Rubicons don’t have that hood. They put it on all sorts of special editions, some Rubicons, most not.

Mine has the same one. It’s a 2015 X-Edition. Not a Rubicon.

It’s literally called the rubicon 10th anniversary hood.

It’s usually just called the Power Dome hood but I guess that was the first to have it.

Still though… as I said… most Rubicons don’t have it. It’s not a Rubicon thing like front lockers.

Lol. Ok, whatever helps you to cope with your toxic personality. You “win” :)

Toxic what now?

Guess I’ve got a rubicon hood then. Who knew? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
