Looking at it I'd assume it was a trio of young Jeep Wrangler designers!

i would hate to be over 4 foot tall and have to sit in the back seat

Visibility would have to be poor out of those tiny windows!
As usual a concept with all the bling, by the time it hits the stealerships the body will be optional!
I agree that alot of 4x4's are not designed for their said purpose, but for the people that are buying the most of them.
Soccer Mums!
Real 4x4's turn my head. Not sleek plastic, pretty electronic gadget, bug ridden overpriced "luxury" 4x4's.

nice gadgets

I wonder if we gave these hotshot designers pencils instead of keyboards, would they come up with design concepts for an off roader like;
Flat, easily repaired body panels,
Flat reinforced floor pans for mounting storage units / items under seats,
Roof gutters to mount real roof racks with no holes.
More space under the bonnet for dual batteries/compressors/snorkel fitting etc ,
Fuel pumps mounted for easy access / replacement,
Easy access chassis extensions/mounting points for front bars/rear bars/side rails and winches.

It will be great when modern technology can take us to that stage.

Dood, thats soooo last century, dont need the dual batteries, all the electrics are more efficient and the batteries have higher capacity, compressor? Doesn't it come std?
Roof gutters? r u serious?
Fuel pump? what do you have a diesel XJ?
Flat floor pan? the ribs and curves arent there for decoration, to have a FLAT floor it would have to be 4 time the thickness, and would sit above the transmission tunnel...
Ever tried to get a flat panel flat again?
Easy access chassis mount points? Wat? so you can add more weight, reduce your approach, departure and breakover angles? From what I can tell It already has a winch, discharge and LED lighting, wat do you want to mount on the front? your antenna is already on the gutter.....
Its obvious you know farkall about the following:
1 Wheelin
2 Style
3 Modern technology , materials and design
4 Automotive Sales & Marketing
5 "CONCEPT" vehicles

May not be your next vehicle of choice but dood, wake up to the new century!

I like it, its PHAT and if it was in my price range I'd be signing up for one NOW!

BTW, Wat did this really look like on your TJ?
