...if Jeep put these out!:drool2:
I agree that thing looks sweet!!
D44/60 axles, 40's, cage, etc. from the factory!
You should see it in person, Billy! It is really wicked! Obviously they will never market something with tires that big, but it is a cool concept!
Would be easy to just build it:yesy:
Yea, just like the Rescue a couple years back.Quote:

I agree with Billy. Count me in too!
Peace.

I've never been a Jeep fan of anykind, but the Jeep-40 Concept looks pretty sweet. I especially like the low center of gravity; with the body not being lifted up to the moon, so it could traverse sloping terrain without rolling over. In addition; being from the "factory", the entire package of components would be well engineered to work in concert with each other with high reliability. However, it definately needs a hard-shell bolt-on roof assembly to keep the greedy hands of car burglars out of the Jeep's interior when parked.:bgwb:
Still; as far as 4x4 concepts go, the Chinese Hummer HX/H4 concept RULES!!!:yeso:
Yeah, that high reliability part... um, it's still a Jeep soooo... ;)Quote:

And I'd still take the Hurricane over all the other concepts... nothing says practical like dual Hemis... :bgwo:
I'm still waiting for Vdub to put this thing into production.

I agree with Riff, this thing looks pretty sweet.

Paint it yellow,let me "fab" a bumper, and we are in business!!!
I like em' all and will take one of each :yeso:. The VW is my least favorite, the rear fenders look bizarre.
Back on topic, the lower forty is a awesome jeep design because it was built to keep a low center of gravity while having amazing offroad capabilties because of its 40" wheels.
I think they should design a similar jeep based around 35" tires to make it very offroad capable while keeping the ride quality. 40" tires would be too big for everyday driving.
Yeah I always loved the Toyota one, I definitely like this Jeep way better though, and as far as that Vdub thing, yuck, that is terrible :(
I just saw this and I LOVE it!
