I agree, if they have a steel roof model, it'll probably sell ridiculously well. I think they should have a hard top with removable windows like this rendering sorta has. That would be ridiculously awesome if they do that and I'd want one real bad.
All sorts of gnarly off road vehicles have IFS but nothing is as capable off road as the Wrangler is and most of it is because of it's solid axles. Now, that being said. What did the ole 2wd JKs have for their front suspension? My point being if people can convert 2wd JKs to 4wd, solid axled JKs, I don't see why they couldn't convert a IFS set up to a D44 or even D30. Companies like Artec would hop on that shit lickedy-split much like they make Ford 8x8 rear axle conversion kits for TJs.
I have to say though that this is probably going to look pretty close to the actual model. Swooped back grille and windshield, more plastic all over, bumper with removable end caps (since everyone is going to stubbys immediately anyway lol), IFS, different hard top/possible metal roof, etc.
I think it'd be cool if they made them a little smaller again but that's not gonna happen. No one has ever gone down in size from one generation to the next in recent years. Just look at the Tundras over the last 20 years or even the Frontiers. I think three different versions would be sorta neat, a normal 2 door, a longer 2 door, and then the 4 door. The longer two door could have a solid roof I guess but basicall it could be what they built trucks off of with that JK8 type body with small tub area. This way the cab wouldn't 'feel' cramped and it could have a metal roof (sorry, but I doubt they'll have a removable roof truck available form factory).
This is all my $0.02
Ahhh the days with no doors and roof are so close :wings:
It can't get here soon enough lol
