“Tiki Bob” Returns On 2021 Jeep® Wrangler & Renegade Islander Models:

With only a few weeks until spring, the Jeep® brand is promoting its beach-themed “Islander” lineup for 2021. Originally launched in 1988, the Wrangler Islander celebrated the brand’s 4×4 capability paired with unique, beach-themed accents, upbeat style, and summer-fun features. While “Tiki Bob” returns on the iconic Wrangler nameplate for the 2021 model year, Jeep has added the limited edition theme to the compact Renegade.

“Our Jeep enthusiasts expect legendary Jeep 4×4 capability, and they also embrace the Jeep brand’s fun ‘go anywhere, do anything’ adventure lifestyle,” said Jim Morrison, Vice President, Jeep Brand North America. “With Surf Blue accent stitching, Islander-embroidered front seats, and available white three-piece hardtop on the Wrangler, you can’t help but think summer and the beach life when you see these new Islander special editions.”
