New Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator Rockslide Brings Back Blue Jean Interior

Fans of those mid-1970s Jeep CJs with the denim interiors get to enjoy a flashback with the brand’s newest special edition offering the 2026 Wrangler Rockslide edition, which features a Jean Blue interior.


To be clear, those Levi’s Edition CJs from the ’70s had real denim upholstery from Levi’s whereas the newest Twelve 4 Twelve special edition Wrangler and Gladiator simply features a “Jean Blue” interior that evokes the feeling of jeans in a medium blue hue.

The new Rockslide package is the fifth offering in the Twelve 4 Twelve series of special editions, and it’s available on the Sahara and Rubicon trims of the Wrangler. The blue theme isn’t just for the interior seats as Blue Agave and Indigo Blue join Jean Blue in adding a layered feel to the monochromatic feel of both vehicles.

On the exterior, buyers get an Anvil body-color roof and matching grille surround, plus Blue Agave side stripes, hood side decals and a classic “4 Wheel Drive” graphic.

When you move inside, an Indigo Blue instrument panel surround takes center stage. The center console and door armrest accents stand out with contrasting silver stitching throughout, original Jean Blue cloth seats and unique Rockslide signature details, including a swing gate plaque, officials noted.


“The Jeep Rockslide amps up what Wrangler and Gladiator owners demand, unstoppable capability, and pairs it with the personal expression they love,” said Jeep Brand CEO Bob Broderdorf in a release. 

“Rooted in the strengths of Sahara and Rubicon, Rockslide takes factory customization even further while staying true to the Jeep brand's core DNA. And blue continues to stand out as a color that reflects our heritage, individuality and the strong emotional connection our community has with their off-road vehicles.”

The Rockslide is more than just a pretty color palate because it’s teamed with Sahara and Rubicon packages, which include tinted windows, a Gorilla Glass windshield, heated mirrors, automatic headlamps, body color fender flares, plus technology like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and advanced braking.

The Rockslide package will add $695 to the final invoice, and buyers can begin adding it to their Jeep of choice in April.

    My 76 CJ5 is supposed to be a Levi's Renegade.

    There isn't a specific trim code so it's hard to authenticate.

  • Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
  • Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
  • Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
  • Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
