Jeep Lower Forty

[Marlin]

IS there going to be a hybrid model? Perhaps a diesel? It would be really hard to drop 50k on a jeep that gets 9mpg off the lot...

The jeep 40 is not even a jeep design. This jeep has been built for a couple years or more by the aftermarket. Companies make the hood and the genders are cut. 2inch lift and 40's. If you do a search on pirate4x you will see a lot on the subject...jeep just stole the idea.

and the genders are cut..

And we all know how painful THAT can be...

I'm not much of a Jeep fan either, since I own a classic FJ-40 (a Jeep's #1 arch ememy). Still, the Lower-40 looks kinda' cool, but it needs some sort of "hard-shell" roof (much like the Hummer HX/H4 has). Convertibles (like soft-top Jeeps) can't be "buttoned-up" for long term parking while at a ball game or movie, and are prime targets for vandals and car prowlers with a knife.

I know there isn't a suspension lift- maybe a 2" body lift

Its a really good idea for those who own jeeps and want 40's. Why spend $$$$$ on a 6-8" suspension lift and make your vehicle super top heavy when you can just do some body modifications, keep a low center of gravity and have the option of adding a little suspension lift for articulation.

I think they should remake it as the "lower 37," it would look way better and be feasible for daily driving

If it has anythlng less than big 'ol hemi in it I'd be dissapointed!
And d60's too!

Sad thing is is that I can buy a better equiped jeep than the 40 on the pirate classifieds for $5-10k any day of the week.
