Okay, I'll bite...
This "new" concept has been done before, just never on an assembly line. I didn't like them then and I don't like it now. I can see why some would like it, perhaps people that need the room of a cherokee but like the looks of a wrangler... It still doesn't compare to the storage of an XJ, but looks almost as long. If the public wants another 6 inches of storage space are they just going to lengthen it again? I say pick a model... it's a good concept, just not for me. Not to mention that soft top looks ridiculous!

A Two Jeep family?!
 It doesn't look too bad with the top off but I agree with Joopin that it's kinda funny looking with that soft top on. It might fit a need but certainly not mine.

Well if you tried stuffing a wife kid and all of your camping stuff into a CJ5 that looks a lot better. I probably wouldn't buy one but man I miss having space. You would not beleive how much crap you have to pack for a 1 year old!!!!!!

I've been thinking about that very same thing avyoung... and I believe I have a slight solution. I've designed a back seat that's a two piece. I just need to start cutting up my back seat
 If it works out ok, I'll make sure to document it. With the back seat as a two piece, it's easier to haul more things in it AND have room for an additional passanger. I know, I know... I've openned this up for some shots :)That thing looks goofy

That's a good Idea but I have another one on the way due in June. I think I will have to rebuild my little trailer to haul junk in.

That Jeep looks dorky. I think all of them do with those little donut tires. Picture that thing with 6" of lift and some 36's under it. I think it would be killer.

Transmission mount
I think it is pretty cool.The closest to a CJ8 I have yet to see as a TJ.One thing I dont dig is the departure angle on that thing.

Just another thought. Ive heard people gripe about how loud the soft top is on the current TJ. Can you imagine how load that thing has gotta be? That much extra length on there its going to be so much worse. O well, to each there own, but i wouldnt spend my money on one.

Remember I said I've seen something like this before? Well here it is...
It doesn't look much better, but it can hold more crap than MY yj!

Looks like that extended TJ is going to see production as a 2004.5 model, the TJ Unlimited.

If new Jeeps weren't so expensive, I would snatch one of those up. Maybe I'll wait til one gets rolled and buy it salvaged. I have added 9.5" of wheelbase to mine and it is nice especially on steep hills. I would slap a lift, some one tons and a supercharger on there and then tube it out. Yes, I am a dreamer.

The Hardtop looks better (website), but it needs bigger tires and more clearance - especially with the longer wheelbase. Seeing one on the road (or better yet, trail) will make it easier to judge.
