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!

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 :shock: 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 :roll:

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.

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.

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.

SULLY - The Jeep website claims the departure angle is better than the standard TJ, and the approach angle is the same.
AVYOUNG- "You would not beleive how much crap you have to pack for a 1 year old!!!!!!" Not only do I believe it, I live it (4th time now)!
I'm not a big fan of it. 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.
