jteckmann Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 http://blogs.jpmagazine.com/6659709/editorials/jeep-spy-photos/index.html :drool: :drool: It's frustrating to see all these cool concepts that the Mopar Underground guys put together, knowing that Chrysler/Fiat/whatever will never build them. But one day .... maybe we'll get a production Jeep truck again. This one would be sweet.
Automan2164 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 When I saw that truck, I was overcome with emotion. Then I... Well, you get the picture. Rob L. :drool:
Pete M Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 save image as... awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
89eliminator Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 they have some sick concept vehicles lately. first the powerwagon and now this! where can i sign up for one of each.
Pete M Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 It'll never happen. Jeep isn't allowed to have a truck anymore. :fs1:
jpnjim Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Absolutely amazing job on the front end. :bowdown: :bowdown:
Squeegy410 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 don't crucify me, but I'm not a huge fan :dunno: it looks like an old jeep fixed up, so why not just fix up an old jeep :dunno: I'm not a big fan of change. oh well maybe it will make people sell their mjs and get those. give me a better market :yes:
dunl Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 If I ever buy a JK.....I need to find a front end to do something like that.
mvusse Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 It'll never happen. Jeep isn't allowed to have a truck anymore. :fs1: Jeep is producing pickup trucks as we speak. Just not available to civilians (with a few exceptions): J8 Brute.
dasbulliwagen Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I did read an article saying that FIAT wants to expand the Jeep lineup, but weather or not they do something as awesome as this has yet to be seen.
jteckmann Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 Jeep is producing pickup trucks as we speak. Just not available to civilians (with a few exceptions): J8 Brute. Yeah, next time I'm in Egypt, I'll pick one up :D This is really just a J8 Brute with a different hood, but I love the styling cues. I've checked out those Brute conversion kits that AEV makes for the TJ/JK ... too bad they're so spendy (for me) - an extra $10K over whatever it costs you to get the donor. And I'm just not that wild about the way it looks, something about the proportions of the Wrangler cab with a bed just seems a little off to me. But this thing looks awesome. Since it's just a new hood/grille, I wonder if AEV or some other aftermarket company will get the inspiration to produce something similar. :brows:
gogetemturbo Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 It's official. I have found the only thing I would get rid of my Comanche for....well maybe not but I certainly would love to have one!
dasbulliwagen Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Just found an actual article about this.... it is actually a Chyrsler concept vehicle. The nose is made of carbon fiber and the bed is from AEV Brute. Ill copy and paste a link and text.... http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/31/chry ... safari-20/ [source] Our personal favorite? That has to be the Jeep Nukizer 715 (above). While the name could use a little work, this truck is the epitome of what we want to see Jeep produce. Designed as an homage to the legendary Kaiser M-715, this beastie makes use of a J8 two-door body and an aftermarket AEV Brute pick-up bed. Chrysler's engineers built that leaning front nose out of carbon fiber, and stretched the frame to 124 inches to make a little more room for the new bodywork. It only gets better when we start talking drivetrain. At its beating heart, the Nukizer 715 uses a 2.8-liter tubo-diesel four-cylinder mated to a four-speed slusher. A Dana 44 axle sits up front, backed up by a Dana 60 in the rear, both with 5:38 gear ratios. Perfection? You're looking at it.
wyk Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Wow. That is pure awesome. They should modify the name to read "Nukularizer" Just found an actual article about this.... it is actually a Chyrsler concept vehicle.

gogetemturbo Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Sorry, an odd thing I just noticed when I re-read my post. It shows in there that I spelled comanche with 2 Ms....when I went back to edit it, my original was with 1 M and a capitol C. Does our site automatically change it? That was wierd. I spelled it with 1 M in this post, so I'll see if it converts it over too...
jpnjim Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Comanche Works fine for me, they must be punishing you. ;)
