Wow I'm not really a JK guy, but whata concept! Look's like it would be a great daily driver. To bad though, I doubt if " Fix It Again Tony" has the nads to put a product like that on the road. It would have to be electric. I hope that was not to politically incorrect.

After having to fix my wifes 08 Rubicon's back axle 3 times, what a joke of an axle, I winder how long till he bends a shaft with those tires.
Trends come and go in Jeeps, seems the max flex trend is dyeing and it is going over to a huge tires with minimal lift trend. I see a lot of the magazines are writing about that. Could be a recession thing also. But anyway magazines need to sell subscriptions so they hype up the latest trend and thousands flock to the koolaid and drink it.
I was on one of my favorite modern jeep sites last night and some guy, who admitted to being brand new to jeeps was talking about how he needed to build a GM 14 rear axle so he would not break his. Man o man I thought you will need 37s just to clear a speed bump with that axle. But he is convinced because a magazine printed a few articles about the gm 14 inch and he has to have one.

Blame it on the consumer society. If they don't change the style, you don't buy new crap.

Hell, I have 1ton drivetrain on every thing I drive anyway. I just got sick & tired of having to replace parts after every run. I like to be able to drive to & from, unlike all my trailer queen buddies.

Yea, at least it's got some horsepower.
What's with the 3.8L that comes in all newer Wranglers?
An SRT8 package would be fun.
