If they need some design inspirations, they should ask JimmyB if they can run a competition on this board. I'm sure there would be heaps of entries and great ideas put forward.
The aftermarket is already on to this. Have a look at the SEMA link. I'm certain ARB will eventually provide some nice stuff, too. It just takes them a while, they have to do all their Toymota stuff first.

But, you're right, it would sure be sweet if Jeep had their own 'real' off-road accessories. They could even get the brand name companies like Warn to make them, but offer them through the dealer as a factory-endorsed, dealer-fitted item with 3 year warranty.

Yep, I can say I saw in person at SEMA there are plenty of after market accessories already available for the new Wranglers.

Some of them can be seen here

I would not like to pay the price which Jeep would charge for the stuff. Just look at the tow hitch price for any Jeep

I can usually match or undercut the price of aftermarket tow bars.

It's just a matter of asking the right people the right questions. Unfortunately, dealership personnel don't have : a) the skills to find out what the customer really needs and when; b) the knowledge of the market ; or c) the authority to price accessories to meet the market.

shame the 2 door isnt the same figure (1500-1600kg). Was hoping the 4 door would of been closer to the tow capacity of the cherokee. But you can't have everything.
