She's got the automatic and also she has the full doors. Did you get the half doors? Heck, she even has power windows-who ever heard of a real JEEP having power windows?LOL- Ask your dealer if they got the quality control problem with the T-tops on the hardtop straightened out. I heard there was a leaking issue. She only has the soft top but it comes with the "Sundowner" version-which allows for a flip back front compartment top back without taking the whole top off. The V-6 seems peppy enough but I'm hearing this mini-van engine(already in production) is just a temporary powerplant- maybe a small diesel in the future.I like that truck prototype-and the top comes off on it.

Got the '95 Dakota back on the road today.  The 318 V8 runs really smooth.  Just gotta run down a used transfer case and I'll have the 4wd working.  Till then I'll have to make it somehow in 2wd.

 
Almost hit the target that time!

Somebody around here has a jeep truck that looks just like that concept truck - it's a "Brute" coversion from American Expedition Vehicles. Pretty sweet if you have the cash. A local guy does it for Flannagans Jeep in Missoula.

 I loved jeeps when they had the straight 6. I had a cherokee with it and that thing had some get-up-and-go.
Is it September yet?!

I think the AEV conversion is about $8,000- I couldn't stand to mess up my little Wrangler for the conversion. I'll wait and see if the JT comes out.
Jason, they do think alot of their trailers. I made the little trailer I carry my wall tent,gear to Colorado with a lot cheaper than what they want. OF course, it doesn't look as "purty", either...

My daily driver/hunting truck is a CJ8. I had a friend take a picture and email it to me. I can't figure out now how to get the picture from my email to here.

Here is my rig. 1980 International Scout II. The last year they were made. Took me a full year to get her into hunting shape. Looks like there are now two scouts on this post. That really is old school with old school trad gear!

In the early 80's as someone else said jeep made a pickup version of the cj7 added about 2 feet and called it cj8 or scrambler. Mine is a 83 with a 360 v8 and more mods than I can think of. Jeeps are my other hobbie. Unfortunately computors are not I am not going to get a picture posted.

J.D. Yeah those CJ-8's were the best, too bad they only made them for three years.

J.D., I had a Scrambler, bought it used in 85. It had a custom cap over the little box, like a little pickup. It was a great huntin vehicle.    :thumbsup:  

I should have a picture of it somewhere.

I'm picking up my new Wrangler 4dr Rubicon in the morning.    :jumper:    :jumper:    :jumper:
