IMO looks like a weird Photoshop of the Flat top concept with a couple of features slanted. Ill wait to see what it will actually look like. The idea of IFS has been tossed around a lot on the internets. Hopefully this time next year we will have some solid info.

I'm tired of all the guessing, conjecture and miscellaneous concept photos. When they come out, they'll be out. If they have IFS, so be it. It's not like just because the new wranglers have IFS that your solid axles will suddenly  go away...

If there is independent long travel suspension, well, the Jeep is now a car.  JK's will be the one everyone wants.

This is different:

I said this on Facebook; but it's just the further yuppyfication on the Wrangler. Now everyone bolts parts on four door four wheel drive vans. People keep buying them up like they're in short demand or something. Oh well.

I think it is pretty good looking.  It is at least on par with the picture below.  IFS works for a lot of vehicles.  For the hardcore people, the vehicle can be SAS'd. 




Now, compared to the TJ...it isn't even in the same ballpark in terms of looks or capability, but I bet you can ride on a gravel road all day without needing a day to recover.   //LMAO//

Oh I love my "old" TJ. I think that was the last of the great Jeeps. No offense to anyone who owns a JK or JKU. TJs were the last of the all steel fenders and grill. Plastic is taking over the world! I'll keep my low tech solid axle relic thank you very much.
I've grown tired of this.

The question is how long before it loses its real frame and goes to a unibody design? Probably will happen with IFS, but not many people are discussing that. That would truly turn it into a pile of shit. Who cares bout the suspension and axles, there will probably be bolt on SAS from every supplier, and the stock axles blow anyways. Hopefully it can maintain a full frame to bolt all the goodies onto or it may become a topless XJ.
