Landoloops Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Found this at http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=296495 I though this was pretty sweet. I like the gladiator concept but man one of these with the Diesel they are putting in it next year. Maybe an extended cab too. Sign me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemi_comanche Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 It really reminds you of the COMANCHE. Just the cab and whole front section are very similar. Very Cool 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonkatruck Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Wow, thats 10x better looking than the actual vehicle... thats always surprised me - that Jeep known for its capable offroad and rugged machine never built a fullsize truck. You figure its the next logical step or atleast i would. I guess maybe they don't want anythign to compete with the Rams. Hmm... Its a shame tho because throw a diesel or hemi in that thing and it would be SCHWEEEET!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-seires(Honcho) The numberone reason jeep doesn't have a modern Fullsize truck is because Diamler doesnt want an inhouse competitor to the Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The made the j-truck all the way up into the 80's. they were great... the j20 came with a ff d60, and a front d44. Yes it was a passenger side drop motor, but talk about cool. Lets not forget that they also came with a t18 tranny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonkatruck Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ya, your absolutely right. I know about the J trucks i just didnt think about it as i meant more modern and recent ones now. Like i said as well, i figure it is the competition with the ram they don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feerocknok Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 That's why it makes so much torque. It's b-a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look of that concept, but if it has IFS and is not a simple, capable 4x4 then I am not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta look at it this way... If they did have a truck still it would be nothing more than a RAM with a different body, probably IFS, and a whole lot of other crap that none of us really want in a JEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feerocknok Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Was it the lack of demand or the in-house competition that halted production of the MJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 The leading theory is that Chrysler already had a small truck (the dakota) and didn't need two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepaholic Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 :nuts: And i wouldnt take a dakota if ya gave it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DansGreyMj Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 i heard that they stopped production of the mj so the dakota would have a better chance, i don't think it helped much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 The Dakota did well in sales mostly cause You could get a v-8 in them, and they had plenty of punch for a truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
