In total, five different Wranglers are used by the park staff, all uniquely numbered. These five vehicles are customized to varying degrees, with all having a front-mounted electric winch, but only some having a brace of off-road searchlights. One of the most prominent Wranglers in the film, number 10, is without its factory roll cage, presumably removed by the film crew for effect.
Speaking of roll cages, the YJ’s tubular roll cage was significantly redesigned for 1992. Instead of the traditional triangular support bars that angle down into the rear seat area, 1992 and later YJs have what’s called a “family” roll cage (below) that’s boxier in shape. Although the family roll cage doesn’t look as sleek as the prior design, protection for rear seat passengers is superior. Therefore, the many fans of the film and/or Jeep enthusiasts who build replicas of the Jurassic Wranglers tend to avoid models older than 1992 because the roll cage is so visually different.
The original Jurassic Park film spawned many sequels in which Jeep’s timeless Wrangler continued to play a role. In 2022, Jeep even launched a television commercial tied to “Jurassic World Dominion,” which featured a baby dinosaur riding in the back seat of its Wrangler 4xe hybrid. But it all started with the oft-maligned YJ.
