2006KJSPORT4x4 · **Posted:** Tue Oct 31, 2006 1:05 am

they are from an article originally from what I can gather

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Tue Oct 31, 2006 1:09 am

Looks like they are trying to make the Wrangler look like an H3.

AZScout · **Posted:** Tue Oct 31, 2006 1:13 am

Or a G wagon...

JMLoughrey · **Posted:** Tue Oct 31, 2006 1:24 am

i love the front, i'm not a big fan of the back, looks too much like that stupid mercedes wagon thing which looks like an uglier version of a honda element....coincidence, i think not.

AZScout · **Posted:** Tue Oct 31, 2006 1:41 am

Thats the MB G wagon...can you believe that thing is like $80-$100K?

oh the things i could do with that kind of money to my KJ...

and still have money left of for a nice little sports car and the hefty ticket i'd receive in it the first day of driving it.

The G wagon is where the rubicon gets its diff lock technology from. It is very capable off rode if you got 100 g's

auggy · **Posted:** Tue Oct 31, 2006 9:42 am

Its capable off road as well if you have $100K to spend. :lol:

THe Patriot looks pretty good with 31's and a bumper too. Now why can't someone out there make a simple front bumper like that for the KJ, it just burns me!
