robfg67 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Those crazy Jeep guys in China are at it again. This story on was posted on the Auto website, Jalopnik.
Jerry Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I don't know, it might look alright in a different colour, with huge wheels, a lift kit, roll bar, winch, nerf bar, a shovel lashed to the fender...... I'll stop there shall I!!! :yes: edit: some mud might help too.
robfg67 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 It's got those nice Datsun era hooks around the bed too! :eek:
BLHTAZ Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I am not sold on the grill/front end look, but over-all...I like it :thumbsup: Reading some of hte comments on that site I found this... I like it as well... looks at least as good as the Jeep Comanche pickup did. Hopefully it won't rust as bad as the Comanche did. :clapping: :rotf:
HKB3 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 so when should we see people selling these in parking lots on weekends along with the knock-off mini motorcycles
garmj Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I love it. I want one. Where do I sign? Will they take my Dakota on trade? :D
brdhntr Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 i like it, i love it, i want some more of it!!! ok so i quoted a song. i still like the truck. :thumbsup: with some of the jeeps coming out in china, i'm thinking i should move over there. well.............not really. :yes:
aemsee Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 What they need to do is put the Libby Renegade front end on it.
papastork Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 looks like a chopped up liberty to me..... but... maybe it's a platform to work on? (or from), i don't think i'll be trading in "eugene" for one. i like "eugene" to much. oil leaks and all.
WahooSteeler Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I think it looks like, well, like a Chinese vehicle. Like a fish or something? Maybe it's an optical illusion, but the rear flares look half the size as the front ones. Let me put it more simply..........I hate it.
Red 1989 MJ Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I don't like it, look cheap, Look like the old 80's Datsun Pick-up. :huh???:
Sir Sam Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I think it looks like, well, like a Chinese vehicle. Like a fish or something? Maybe it's an optical illusion, but the rear flares look half the size as the front ones. Let me put it more simply..........I hate it. Racist. Admit it, you don't like the slant eyes.
WahooSteeler Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I think it looks like, well, like a Chinese vehicle (weird design and cheap). Like a fish or something? Maybe it's an optical illusion, but the rear flares look half the size as the front ones. Let me put it more simply..........I hate it. Racist. Admit it, you don't like the slant eyes. No, it's the BUG eyes I don't like LOL. Just the whole Libby front end doesn't look like a truck. The first thing that came to mind was one of those mini trucks, i.e. the little motorcycle engined van cabs with a bed behind it riding around on 10" wheels LOL. Should have a couple of weedeaters and a load of sand in it running around a golf course or something.
dasbulliwagen Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 It appears to have Toyota style 6 lug wheels, and the cab and bed body looks kinda like toyota also. Wonder if this thing is for real, or something someone built for their own amusement? Gotta be more of a real Jeep than a frickin Compass or Patriot! Kinda cute too. I think its growing on me!

I noticed wheels as well, I think the cab is actually a modified kj. The bed. Well. I would bet it's a pretty orignal creation.
tazjeeper Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Why do other countrys get stuff like this and the tj pick up and we do not... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I like it now make it a 4dr and I want one.....
WahooSteeler Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I am truly amazed at how many of you like it. Wow. :dunno: :huh???: :doh:
Sir Sam Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I am truly amazed at how many of you like it. Wow. :dunno: :huh???: :doh: To me it looks useful. And all things utilitarian look good to me. Personally I find form over function pretty damm sexy. And this thing just exudes function with an utter disregard to form.

I bet it can't haul more than 2 bags of dog food and while it might get you to work on a snowy day, that's about all you'll get out of the 4wd! :yes:
mfpdm Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I am truly amazed at how many of you like it. Wow. :agree: What a turd. Looks like IFS but can't say 100%. I hate that we've stood for German engineering and now are going to China for the next Jeep design. I'm sure the customer base in China knows exactly what us good ole boys in the USA need. :nuts: At least you could go get a libby and hack it up to make one instead of wanting just another Chinese product in the country. What the hell, China has us by the balls anyway with the money the government has borrowed from them. And no, I'm not a racist, I'm just prejudice against crap from China. When is enough enough.
garmj Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 It ptobably wasnt designed to carry ANY dog food cause over there dogs ARE food. :D But seriously i would like to see a quad cab version powered by the 3.7. I love that motor I have it in my 04 Dakota and have no complaints. I just wana Jeep. :nuts:
robfg67 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 This is not a production vehicle. It's based on the last generation Liberty and does not have any name or logo on the bonnet, neither a Jeep nor a BAW nor a Beijing-Jeep's. Considering that the Chinese/American joint venture is now history that makes this Liberty-style pickup truck the one and only in the world. This truck was presented as a gift to the Chinese Military Museum in Beijing in January 2008.
robfg67 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 ...and this is currently for sale in China now: These guys have a serious Jeep thing going. Can I list my MJ on Beijing Craigslist for 40 million yen?
