The engine serial number of the Wrangler is located on the frame beneath the front passenger seat. Below are the specific details of the Jeep Wrangler: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Jeep Wrangler is positioned as a midsize SUV, with a length, width, and height of 4334mm, 1894mm, and 1841mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2459mm. 2. Configuration: It is equipped with features such as rear parking radar, reverse camera, cruise control, off-road driving mode switching, engine start-stop, hill start assist, hill descent control, and a keyless start system. 3. Suspension: Both the front and rear suspensions of the Wrangler are multi-link independent suspensions, and the body structure is a non-load-bearing type.
Last time I was preparing to transfer ownership of an old Wrangler, I spent ages searching for the VIN stamp. After fumbling around in the engine bay for quite a while, I finally discovered its extremely hidden location. The VIN is mainly stamped on a flat surface on the side of the engine block, specifically on the passenger side. You'll need to wipe off the dust with a rag to see it clearly, and for those with protective covers, you must carefully lift them. The location varies slightly by model year - newer models place it behind the crankcase ventilation valve, while older versions might position it near the alternator. I recommend checking under the air filter first. If that doesn't work, try shining a strong flashlight upward from underneath the chassis, as the number is often obscured by oil residue. It's best to do this when the engine is cold - a hot engine makes the task painfully difficult.
