So are they going to finally release this?  Neat truck.

[Secret Chimp]

Does the hood really need to be that long? It doesn't use an I-6 anymore.
Otherwise if they put this into production, it'd be pretty awesome. Especially if they offered desert and olive drab paint schemes

It does in order for the front driveshaft to have any sort of travel at all.

I dont know how well it would sell nowdays with everyone wanting their trucks with backseats and doors everywhere,but I alsways liked the old Scramblers.
Theres a outfit here at the beach that has stretched,open Wranglers with 3 rows of seats.
They actually look pretty cool.

If they made it, with a diesel mind you, I would be at the front of the line at my dealer to buy one in Olive Drab with 4WD. Keep those wheels too and have them painted also.

love it

[sandertheshark]

How wonderfully old-school badass.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I see they're going with leaf springs in the rear. How quaint. Is this based on the Wrangler platform or not?

[Soup DeVille]

If it had leaf springs you'd be able to see the rear shackles.

I think what you're looking at is actually the shadow of the tire on the other side.

Badass. I want one in olive green. With "US ARMY" in those block letters somewhere on it.

[the Teuton]

If it got the MB CRD engine, I think it'd be perfect for military service.

I think it'd be fine with the CRD engine that the Liberty CRD had.

That's the same one I was thinking of, but isn't it an MB unit?

[TBR]

No, it is from an Italian provider IIRC and is an older design that isn't very refined and doesn't have very good emissions.

[TheIntrepid]

Still; it worked fine on the Liberty CRD and thus should be fine for these.

Last I checked, most pickups are using leaf springs on the rear.

Last I checked, most pickups are using leaf springs on the rear.

And Ford Falcon wagons.

Looks like a C-class!

Yeah, so it would make sense if the JT did, too.

here, I even found a picture of it

*waits for Wimmer to come in*

It wouldn't, there is a reason the Liberty CRD is no longer on sale, it couldn't meet the new emissions standards with the old fashioned common rail diesel.

[Catman]

Looks like a C-class!

That seam looks much tighter than a C-Class.  I don't see the similarity. 

[Tave]

I was prepared to open this thread and see another worthless cross-over. Thank you for shattering my expectations.


Tres Magnifico!

Are you aware of "the curse of the new Jeeps?"

I saw an Unlimited yesterday and it says Wrangler Unlimited on the front fender.  Since when is Jeep selling Jeeps as Wranglers in Canada?
