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)..

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.

I still like the Comanche with the 97+ Cherokee front end.

Yup, that's the Nukizer concept... which as I post this I realize it says right on the side..

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.
