Finally, a real Jeep
Although Chrysler is circling the drain after Daimler ditched it like a coyote-ugly, drunken dive-bar conquest the morning after, Jeep is still showing signs of life, as evidenced by this brawny, back-to-basics concept truck.
The last twenty years have seen four-wheel drive vehicles larded with more and more luxury options; leather upholstery, deep-pile carpeting, wood panels on the dash, and power gee-gaws more at home on a minivan than a serious go-anywhere ride.
The only truck that held true to its utilitarian roots was the Land Rover Defender, a plain, no-frills beast that looked like it belonged on the African Veldt, but they haven't been imported to the U.S. for years.
That leaves a large, underserved market segment: people who don't want to pay an extra $10-$20 thousand for a gussied up wanna-be.
This looks like the answer: the Jeep Wrangler JT.
I hope Jeep (and Chrysler) doesn't screw it up.
Many more pictures here.

Recent productions even included new technology and parts like improved Jeep cornering lights that has add up to safety and comfort in driving.
Just amazing for Chrysler to focus on the performance like they did in this Jeep Wrangler JT. The front style is very nice just forget the rear. I think this will hit the market since so many positive reactions came out after its exposure.
