Good. They won't ship the LJ Safari top, so I bet they wouldn't ship a JKU one. How they expect to actually sell them to anyone other than locals within driving distance is beyond me. I'm all for making an epic road trip/expedition, but a 5000 mile round trip (in my case) is a bit excessive for...

That looks fantastic! :bowdown:

Or, as my brain has been spinning: just use rear half doors (Mopar or aftermarket). Paired with roll-up and removeable Safari style windows that extend over the rear (half) doors to look like your LJ model would be the cat's ********. :drool: Edit: FYI, your "Jeep Projects" site is dead (if you...

That is frickin' awesome! The inspiration for the J30, or a homegrown solution?

Nice Anvil JKUR! Am I crazy, or are the gauges different in the '15s? I have a '14...

I think the general consensus is 1.5" spacers are the best to prevent rubbing at full-lock.

Or add beefier skids.

The 2015 model is not "new"; it is a (barely) refreshed JK model. The next-gen has probably been in development for a long time, which I suppose is your point: if the decision was to go unibody/IFS, it has already been made. More reason to believe it isn't going to be. Exactly. And the...

Harrumph! It will be interesting to see what happens, that's for sure.

Which is why the Wrangler should never be IFS/IRS.

LOL...best post in this thread. :friday:

Ah yes, I forgot that the "mountain and snowflake" logo is not the same as M+S. Because the MT/R with Kevlar has the M+S logo, but are terrible in packed snow/ice. Duratracs are leaps and bounds better in that regard, so I'm excited to hear how these new KO2s perform! Too bad the size I want...

Wonder how it will perform on snow/ice compared to a GY Duratrac...:coffee:

FTFY. ;) I can see a turbo 4-banger for the unwashed masses, and an "eco"-diesel for the sophisticated (lol). Solid axles must be an option on the base model, and standard on the Rubicon (at the very least). Those are the two models that are most likely to be purchased by us midgets and used...

Exactly! Aluminum tub, steel frame, solid axles, diesel...perfect. And hopefully in my driveway when it becomes available. :wings:

With a smaller lift, yes (IMHO).

For those who actually read the Automotive News article, this is what Marchionne said...aluminum tub on frame instead of the current steel tub. He never said it would be unibody. That rumour comes from the author of the article who states: "Marchionne hinted that the next Wrangler might switch...

:iagree: Yeah, that looks uncomfortable. The thing doesn't even articulate at all...there were at least three occasions when the front wheel came off the ground where any Wrangler (old or new) would have no problem staying planted. I'm sure it could go anywhere through the use of brute force...

Love me some LJ. There's a low-mileage one for sale near me...I'm just trying to figure out if I can sneak it home without my wife noticing. At least I could sleep in it once I outfit it the way I want...I might need to.
