Re: new wrangler - ug
When the 2001 model year was done, Jeep Cherokee production was ended
at Toledo South Assembly Plant . That part of the old ******-Overland
plant was torn down. When the 2006 Wrangler model year was over, the
rest of the plant was closed and the rest of the building slated for
teardown. The eliimination of the in-line 6 will end its production at
the old AMC Kenosha Engine Plant. I do not know what product is left in
Kenosha.
The Liberty and new 4 door Wrangler are assembled in Toledo North
Assembly Palnt. This is visible north of I-75 near the intersection
with I-280. This is famous for having the body-in-whie and paint
departments outsourced.
The Grand Cherokee is assembled in the Jefferson North Assembly Plant,
the only auto assembly plant in Detoit.

3.7 liter V6
I worked for a couple of years at the old Chrysler Mound Road Engine
plant, now razed. The 318 V8, 3.9L V6, and cast iron and cast aluminum
V10 engines were made at MRE.
The V10 assembly has moved to the Conner Avenue Viper Plant.
In some sort of political deal, Chrysler Mack Avenue Engine Plants !
and 2 were built on the site of a former stamping plant in Detroit.
Mack 1 which builds the 4.7L V8, the replacment for the 318 went into
production in 2001. Mack 2 builds the 3.7L V6, the replacment for the
3.9L V6 and 4.0L I6, and went on-line at the end of 2002.
Indianapolis Foundry is now mostly torn down. I believe engine blocks
are being imported.
Chrysler seems to be getting rid of legacy plants with "difficult" UAW
locals.

Re: new wrangler - ug
Last time I was in Kenosha the AMC final assembly plant was a park.
I drove past the ****** Toledo plant recently, non of it looked torn down
but most of it looked idle, though there were lots of new Jeeps in the
parking lots. IIRC the Wrangler production was also transferred to the
Toldeo North plant when it opened, but I might be wrong.

Re: new wrangler - ug
I agree, and since I know for a fact that the 2007 Wrangler is available
with two or four doors, and I have seen both versions driving my locale,
this would be logical.
