Bam Bam — A Silver Wrangler Built to Chase Salida’s Trails.
Bam Bam is Rocky Mountain Jeep Rentals’ Wrangler JK 2‑Door Sahara in a striking silver finish — a compact, lifted, automatic Jeep set up to carry a driver and three passengers across the network of trails around Salida. The vehicle pairs a short 2‑door wheelbase with a 4‑inch lift and 35‑inch tires for an agile, off‑road capable platform that’s also pet friendly.

Wrangler JK 2‑Door Sahara — built for tight trails
A 6‑cylinder automatic with a 4‑inch lift, 35‑inch tires, full overhead rack, hard top and hard doors — configured to carry a driver plus three passengers and gear while remaining nimble on narrow routes.
Effortless, compact off‑road exploration
The automatic transmission and two‑door chassis make Bam Bam an easy vehicle to drive on winding, technical tracks around Salida, letting drivers focus on the route and scenery rather than complex controls.
Pet‑friendly and ready for local logistics
Part of a pet‑friendly fleet and available for delivery within Chaffee County (with pickup options at Salida airport and a small charge for Buena Vista), Bam Bam is set up to accommodate practical travel needs and on‑the‑ground access.
