I'd love to do a brute conversion to my TJ, but w/ 2 kids, I'd like to figure out a way to close off the whole tub and do the wheel base stretch for a bed and then add the NuKaiser front end!! :smiley_drive:

If it had a bed, I'd want a topper (Hawk-sized) ---- but the cab would need to have room for the dog.

Yep my the dog(s) always ride in the cab or the back seat of SUV type vehicles. A sliding window to a camper shell works for dog whispering and communication.

And Tokyo. I'd replace my truck with a D4D powered Tacoma in a New York minute.

I must say that I really like the rope.
After seeing the concept NuKaiser at EJS this year and talking with the engineers that built it, I really want them to bring the J8 over here for us to have! It was impressive to see the amount of detail work that went into building a concept vehicle, and after hearing about how much work it really takes I was astonished that the MOPAR Underground can produce multiple concepts that will never be produced every year. I wonder how long Chrysler will let this happen?

Hey Alex, I think the basis behind the skunkworks operation was that they mostly work on of hours/weekends and they use vehicles and parts that are slated to be thrown away anyways...
At least thats what I heard about the liberator and single cab power wagon projects.

mmmmm that would make me stop drooling on the rows and rows of sand coloured 70 series parked up on the way to work !
Must admit though - in a country that only takes 1 hr to get everywhere, the extra offroad capability over my Nissan patrol is only wasted.
To get any further needs a saudi visa

If I had a Patrol I wouldn't even be looking at Jeep concept vehicles

Very cool with its echos of Gladiator styling! I love the approach & departure angles. Dunno how practical it'd be to live with day-in and day-out, but the youngster that dwells within me wants one!
I may be the only poster here who once owned & drove two Kaiser sedans... a '51 & a '53, after my folks had owned a '49. The '51 was 'surplus to needs' for my grandparents, so they gave it to me for Christmas when I had just turned 16. Brakes were shot, steering needed overhaul, and Dad, bless his chinchy soul, nixed the deal. I 'owned' it long enough to drive it around the block.... Then I got Mom's '53 blue-over-cream Manhattan a few months later. I had to give it up when some idjit totalled Grandpa's identical one with a just-rebuilt engine in it. He did a motor swap, and kept it going for another 5 years.
Ah, memories....
