What follows is a brief rundown of the Psychotic Six. We'll have a detailed overview of these rigs in the August issue of Four Wheeler and the coverage will include off-the-hook photography of these rigs going psycho in the sand. You won't want to miss it. For now, feast your eyes.</p>


<p align="justify"><img src="http://image.fourwheeler.com/f/whats-new/jeep-and-dodge-unveil-6-new-drool-worthy-vehicles/9690570+w225+cr1+re0+ar1/jkl-sand.jpg" hspace="10" border="0" align="right" />Hemi JK: This black JK is called the "JKL" and it has a 110-inch wheelbase, 37-inch tires, a 4-inch suspension lift and a lusty 6.1L Hemi V-8. Can you say POWER-TO-WEIGHT ratio?</p>

It was built to explore the feasibility of integrating a diesel engine kit in the TJ vehicle system. It has an Aisin 5-speed and an NV241 t-case.</p>

Will the Liberty now get some RESPECT?

Mopar trotted these vehicles out to gauge consumer reaction, so hey, feel free to react. Don't hold back. Weigh in with your thoughts on Mopar's latest design exercises.</p>

It'd have to be cheaper from the factory than doin' it yourself. Not as much fun, just cheaper ;)

HA! I just finished playing around with photoshop trying to see what my car would look like with a longer wheelbase b'cause the cargo space in the SWB is just rubbish. Now they come out with a 110-inch wheelbase concept! WTF? didn't they know this car needs enough cargo room for 4 adults? I mean it SITS 4 adults doesn't it? Wildboar and other after market guys are making a fortune from jeeps faulty design (screw breakover angle, make a car which is useable for someone who can aford to own only 1 car).
