Its kind of an odd twist how the whole Jeep thing started as a way to help defeat Germany during WWII and came to be a symbol of American pride and power is now owned and built by a German corp. It just seems wrong to me.

that will be the day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,may as well drop the Cummins in there

,,,but the chassis would need some work too


Imagine getting passed on a huge incline,,,,,by a wrangler,,,,pulling a 30' loaded Toy Hauler

im personally not a big fan of them. I know they are modeled after the bigger jeeps of 30 years ago or so, but i think it almost defeats the true purpose of a wrangler. On trails, wranglers are small and agile, adding a couple feet to them will more than likely detract from the overall off-roading experience, but %95 of new jeeps will never see a trail anyway.

I think the CJ6 was first. My cousin took a CJ6 and shortened it. I like a short Jeep for on the trails but the longer length would make it ride a little better on the road. Did you know that Ford made a Jeep?
