Back when Chrysler bought Jeep from AMC, they were building some tough trucks.
Chrysler said no competition to Dodge, so no Jeep trucks.
Maybe things have changed.
my brother's 99 Dodge Ram has a front suspension that looks an awful lot like the early 80's 4X4 Jeeps- only bigger.. solid axle, 4 links, struts, panhard bar (i think)..

There's one of these local to me that I've been hemming and hawing over checking out, but it sounds pretty rough and the guy wants almost $3,000 for it. Still, in my mind these are about the toughest-looking trucks on the planet. The Dauntless V8 ain't bad either.
That's a real early one since it has the visor roof.
No telling which engine it has.
One of those Wrangler based trucks is all the truck I ever need. I don't tow often, and when I do, I have vehicles I can borrow for the price of a tank of gas. A small open bed is more useful to me than the equivalent amount of enclosed space. If the kits didn't add something like $10,000 to the price of an already expensive new Jeep, I'd likely be looking to own one of the JK8 trucks within a year or so.

Mmmmmm,
there is some goodness right there.
And does anyone remember this from 2010?
I still like the Comanche with the 97+ Cherokee front end.
In reply to noddaz:
Yup, that's the Nukizer concept... which as I post this I realize it says right on the side..
cant you guys just stop with all this cool stuff. Always have wanted a Jeep and this is not helping me especially not lately when i have been having a new car itch.
If the wrangler came with a diesel i would be all over it

Well, you should know that HPA will sell you the kit to swap a TDI I to your wrangler. Good times ahead.

What is that? I know what it is, but is it something new that someone is building, or an old one that has been modified? Either way it floats my boat.
