On today's date, I read a snippet in the August (I think) Issue of MOTOR TREND, which reports the following info about the 2006 TK Wrangler...

Will have a fixed roof cage with removable panels, so hard top will come off in 5 pieces, and I am assuming there will also be a 5-panel soft top that will zip into place of the hard panels...

Although the roof cage is fixed, the TK will still have a fold-down windshield...

The TK WILL retain straight axles, although which brand is not mentioned...We have read that DANA is out, and AAM (American Axle and Manufacturing) is in...I have read that the base axle will be nearly as strong as a DANA 44, and definitely stronger than than the 30/35 combo...THe top of the line axle will be close in strength to a Dana 60, but we shall see....

JP magazine also reported that the TK apple will not fall far from the tree, and the Jeep heritage is very important to Daimler, so I can only intrepret that as convertible, fold down windshield, removable doors, or removable door panels with a fixed retention cage if they MUST, and straight axles are going to stay.
