I'm sure some of you have seen this already but I think it needs to be shown. In 1997 Jeep displayed their Dakar concept vehicle but instead decided to release the Liberty.

they could release that now and it would sell like hotcakes! All those Landrover owners would make the jump I bet.

yeah, You could almost say that all of us Honor the Dakar by modifying our KJs especially if you've done a SFA mod. I was telling Jerbacher that they could drop either the Liberty or Commander, modify the Wrangler Unlimited 4 door by totally removing the hard top option on it and introduce the Dakar designed after the 2008 Wrangler front but with more efficient KJ style interior.

I like the sporty little Red one on the Beach. The topless Cherokee look is sharp but the Racing Dune Jeep is just tooo cooool. Mama buy me that :twisted:

That's what I was thinking?

I fell in love with JEEP the first time I saw the RESCUE. But instead of building that they made the JK...

I remembering seeing that years ago and I loved it ever since I saw it. I wished they come out with that.
Oh yea, Landrover users will convert. It looks like it somewhat.

But my ALL TIME FAV IS THIS:

the dakar concept is awesome! i guess jeep figured that if they released a more urbanized version of that, aka the liberty, it would sell better. that thing looks like its direct competition with landrover as well...would have been pretty sweet

First I want to ask what is concept about that ZJ pic?

And while we're on the subject of concepts, you forgot about the Trailhawk:

i really really like that dakar "wrangler", so sweet!

A friend of mine with some good insider connections in the local Mopar dealers network told me the Dakar almost got built. When the Germans took over, the Dakar and alot of other projects were cancelled in so called "cost cutting moves". (read: take money from Chrysler and dump it on Mercedes)

This one isn't a concept car:

It's the Chinese XJ, called the Jeep 2500, still in production and available there to this day.

Are those folding shovels (E tools) in the front quarters?

That was the ZJ concept from '90 or so...before the ZJ came out.

That makes it pretty concept-y IMO:)

just like how ChryCo stuck pretty close to the Viper concept

This looks like one pissed off Jeep

Ahhhhhhhhh Jeep Porn.........I always liked that Dakar Concept..

Ever since I saw the Dakar and the Rescue I pretty much wanted a Jeep, if they came out I’d probably think about trading my Liberty. Those are some sweet vehicles.
