The special edition Wrangler takes inspiration from the Jeep '41 concept first revealed at the 2022 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. The military influence is highlighted by the olive-drab '41 paint and the durable 17-inch aluminum wheels, which are also finished in the same shade. These wheels are paired with 33-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tyres, and the centre cap features the iconic silhouette of the Willys MB.

The vehicle’s exterior showcases several references to the original Jeep model. A light blue "WILLYS / 4XE" decal is placed along the hood, a black "'41" decal is found on the hood, and a blue "4XE" decal is located below the left taillight. Jeep explains that these decals are a tribute to the U.S. Army’s factory stenciling from World War II, with careful attention to period-specific font, texture, and colour.
