Nice! I like that Jeep themselves kinda took that on. Really cool.

Have you seen this build? Guy in Australia is mating a 40's Willys pickup with an '08 WK. It's been a few years in the works, 55 page build thread, and not even close to done. But it's gonna be awesome when it's finished.

there was a local guy that swapped a commando body onto a JK frame and drivetrain. from 30 feet, it looked like it had just been hauled off the back 40; nicely patina'd body, steel wheels, looked just right to me

My first Jeep was a '62 Willys Maverick.  Mavericks had fancier trim and only came in 2WD.  Mine had been converted to 4WD using the Buick-Old-Ponitiac patterned TH400/Dana 20 & Dana 27 front axle from a '69 Jeepster.  The engine was '71 Buick 350.  The rear 2-piece axled D44 had been replaced with a one-piece D44 from a '56 Merc station wagon.  All that modern stuff would be great, but that 350 would kick a 4.0's but from hell to breakfast.
