Stave off boredom with these pretty pictures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bored in the house? All quarantine long we\u2019ve been bringing you regular moments of zen<\/a> in the form of some of our most favorite motorcars from around the Turo marketplace. We like cars, you like cars, so let\u2019s look at some cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wrangler has long been Jeep\u2019s prize-winning bull. Because they sell so many (and because Wranglers all generally look the same), Jeep loves to release special editions<\/a> to offer some variety, generate buzz, and support various causes. From 1988 to 1993, Jeep<\/a> offered an \u201cIslander\u201d options package for the YJ Wrangler, featuring bright tropical colors, groovy graphics, and some of the more popular options for the Wrangler at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daren\u2019s 1989 Wrangler Islander is a fantastically preserved example with a freshly rebuilt 4.2L engine and 5-speed manual transmission. This classic little SoCal beach cruiser has a bunch of lovely Islander package details like the YJ\u2019s optional \u201chalf doors\u201d and high back seats. But of course, the side and hood graphics are the real stars of the show here. Original late-\u201980s flair on an open-top Jeep\u2026 what\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
