Jeep never makes any of their prototype vehicles. So why continue this process of showing off what they can do, but won't do?

Is it street legal?

​@@neoblackwolf69Not as shown and by the time you make it so you might just as well have bought the basic Wrangler.

Will it fit a v8

I don't get it, this is nothing new at all......Its a CJ-5 re-creation, nothing more. Nothing new here. If Jeep produced it, it would sell like hot cakes, Though I'm not a jeep guy, ( I have a hmmwv) I have long loved the CJ-5...and would own one!

This. Keep it super simple.

jeeps already come with a 6 speed manual....

Forget the 4. My brother had the Pontiac 2.5 in his CJ7 and I had the 4.2 straight 6 in mine. The 4 won’t move a vehicle this heavy.

@@map3384 Then it shouldn't be that heavy. Lots of cars have more accessories and weigh less. A 4 gets them around just fine...

Agreed

Jeep made a Roxor 8 yrs ago and never brought it to market and then got mad when someone dared do it! I got my Roxor for 14k and with another 3k I have a 30mpg off road monster

@@DesertRox you can register it?

​@@dirtycommtroop most places

My neighbor has one here in Virginia

Not competitive, bet that still cost more than my 2020 Roxor. How is being competitive by putting in an Auto Trans. Plastic dash

like a 2 door truck, or the FC concept

I think they are going to be forced to, Jeep sales are suffering due to the prices they are charging so creating a sub $30 grand vehicle would have some huge appeal, especially for single men

same with cadillac, amazing concepts and then some basic vanilla ass prod release

I came here to say this, but knew in my heart it had already been said.

I just ordered a Suzuki Jimmy 3dr . The Suzuki dealer down here sold 117 of these units last month! U S. Sucks !

Gonna be riding round the desert here with ice packs in my pants I guess. Anything got a 20k real jeep

Maybe a 5 speed hi/low range. Would make more sense.

@jacobrzeszewski6527 one would presume that it would already have high/low. 4 or 5spd makes no difference. I remember the three speeds from. Years ago.

Yes, a long stroke 6 that can idle along while you're crawling over rocks.

Long 4 turbo diesel, 5 Spd, AC, power steering, 4x4, low 4 transfer case, power brakes. basic hardtop with soft doors and call it OTR (On the Rox). YOU WOULD GET ONE TOO!

$40k+ for sure!

They drive absolutely awful too

Look how much side by sides are. $35k for this would be a steal

Yep, “cheap” is a relative term. Remember, Viper was first conceived as a cheap modern Cobra. I wonder how close Kei trucks can get to a Jeep. A friend’s flat fender MB is out in my yard. That’s a Jeep.

that's perhaps under than 30K (new one) since it's JK the previous version!

I agree, this barely has any utility, why would I be getting it if the price is not attractive

I was thinking the same thing people just buy expensive wrangler JLUs and rubicon packages they forget a base model it less than 35,000 dollars, this needs a manual and to be under 25

Price a modern side by side and then look at how refined of a vehicle you are getting for that $25K.

Side by side prices are also insane. Still the fact is that you can get a Wrangler that’s way more refined than this concept (or any side by side) for less than $35k. Some side by side are $35k and up. The fact that a Wrangler is same price or less with about $2k dealer profit included shows how much extra profit is baked into the SxS market.

​@@spyder000069 side by sides are insane. You can get a Mahindra Roxor for $16k or so. It will probably be more reliable than anything Jeep has made in the last 30 years, but you've gotta jump through some hoops to make it road legal.

I had a 1968 with the same engine , overdrive and gear set up. I seem to remember I only got 13-16 mpg. What was I doing wrong? Remember they only a had 10 gal tank. I always thought the driveline drum type emergency brake was something that should be brought back. It worked great. I later put disc brakes front and rear, full floating rear axle, Dana 44 in the front, 4 speed with granny low and a twin stick on the Dana 18 ( like the first one had). Wish I had that CJ today. I still have a brand new Warn overdrive in the box. I burned one up and never forgot to check the tranny oil after that!

It’s super cool, and you are correct. Nothing like that is ever going to happen though.

Just get a side by side or a quad and have something with 10x the offroad capability.

That won't happen. They will slap on some suspension and call it a special run product and charge a premium.. People will buy it anyway.

I’m out on most side by sides and atvs as a replacement for a jeep. They’re crazy loud and have garbage transmissions for the most part. I guess I’m just an old fud yelling at clouds though. If I’m going off roading in a vehicle that isn’t refined, I’m riding my dirt bike.

With their current market strategy of insane prices? Nah, this is will be $34K and be a limited release.

Still will be over priced for what you get. Just like all vehicles. The cool factor would sucker many into buying one. No matter how not user friendly they are.

@@Wesmancan I own one and couldn't be any happier. The diesel is a game changer for me and not offered by anyone else with a small offroader in the states. I usually get 30 MPG and the torque is wonderful for off road adventures.

I have a Roxor and I built mine after the CJ look. Most aftermarket CJ parts fit my roxor. It is a beast Off road the manual I wouldn't have anything else. Love the simplistic design.

All that fancy stuff is cheap.

IF TOYOTA offered such a thing, I would camp put at the dealer waiting on one to come in.

suzuki exit the NA market.

These small cars aren’t sold here bc of crippling safety and pollution regulations.

We had small SUVs in the US. Just look up the sales numbers, Americans don't want them. We just say we do.

Almost nobody wants that. If given the option of 4 cylinder and small V8 like the old 318 5.2L, people would choose the V8 in a CJ-5 sized vehicle.

@@jumboshrimps4498 BC the automakers have to jack up the prices to cover the costs of complying with our regulations. At that point yes a customer is gonna spend a few grand more for a larger vehicle w a V8. If they were sold as is, they would be $10-20k and tons of people would buy them.

Axle. Axle. Axle. It’s called an Axle.

Don't get the manual with a 4X ....imagine halfway up steep hill and start struggling / slipping....then having to navigate in that milisecond situation with engine bogging in 1st because one wasn't quick enough to clutch it....then backwards down the hill you go out of control....

You don’t drive manual for sure. 😃 The break is included in manual Jeeps too.

@@barrya.62121. There is a pedal next to the clutch called a "brake" that will handle that. 2. manual transmissions in an off-road vehicle has been the standard for decades 3. vehicles don't usual roll backwards while still in gear, especially in the low gear ranges of an off-road vehicle.

Anyone who advocates for a manual transmission doesn’t off-road. Period haha.

thanks for saving me 10 minutes.

It’s not 10k-15in tax and fees stop it. Also it’s a jeep, $35k for a new off road jeep is cheap. Are you comparing it to a car or other vehicles like it?

What are you smoking? The 35 probably was with Destination fee.. just like every other quoted msrp from any auto manufacturer. And what 6% sales tax 25 dollar registration fee? Maybe a 500 dollar doc fee. Car salesman here. You clearly are not. And have never probably bought a car in your life. Keyboard warrior.

@@ArolzStreamsthere is nothing else like it at 45k complete.

​@@charlescuthbertson709 Except you're a good(bad) salesman. You lie, lie, lie to get people to buy at a SEVERELY increased rate over msrp. Also, those "hidden" fees are just so you can do exactly as the example suggests. There's TONS of proof that it happens, both legal and documented in MY OWN papers. It's just as they say, bogus charge after additional bogus charge just called a different name just like their example.

Forget the jeep - I want your time machine!

@@msmith2016 The Timebender is hidden in a cave, in an American national park. I used it last about 2022 to return to Lanulose to get important items and return to 2019 to stop human extinction. Obviously, my strategy worked. 2022 passed again and most humans are still alive with a time paradox mostly avoided. The Timebender must be used with great care and consideration of the effects it could have on reality. I had to spend 42 cycles to learn how to operate it and how to use it responsibly.

I had that EXACT same Jeep, but it had A/C too and of all the Jeeps I've owned, (which is SO many. I LOVE Jeeps) that was without question my FAVORITE Jeep. I miss That thing everyday. Every other Jeep I had after that, just never could quite match that TJ. In my personal opinion, that was the best Jeep they ever made. I feel your loss. I'd give up any car, truck or Jeep I've ever owned to get that one back. My name for that Jeep was Sherianna. Named it after my super hot girlfriend who was the "one that got away". Amazing how they both ended up being "the one that got away." I was so dumb to sell that for a newer one. I fell for the marketing hype of the Rubicon Sherianna was FAR superior Jeep by far. I had a Dana 60 in the rear with an electronic locker and a Dana 44 in the front with a full-time custom made quarter turn locker. The way it worked is for every time the free spinning tire turned 1 rotation, the other tire would turn 1/4 of a rotation. That way you didn't get the chirping when you went sound corners but you had that extra traction when you needed it, and since it was all mechanical and not air or electric, it never failed. Oh, and of course it was a manual. I think ALL wranglers should always only be manual. You just have so much more control off- road with a manual than an automatic..

It will end up with a screen as they said due to backup camera being required but it can be a simple screen that only shows camera and can be small.

@@JamesSmullins true, even so, a simple screen or camera would be easy to replace in the future if needed since it’s not responsible for running any other systems.

@@Iberian247Since they have to put a backup camera in place I would much rather have it included into the rear view mirror like some other vehicles. Much sleeker and simpler than a full dash screen

I'd for sure put some high back seats in there.

Still too many computers...

I’ll take the V6 like in the video. But an I4 would be ok

4cyl Diesel with a 5 speed Manual would be alot better

Take the turbos off the 3.0 Hurricane and give it an honest traditional Jeep inline 6 as a callback to the beloved 4.0L

I had a similar experience with my 1979 CJ5, although i didn't roll it.. I think in my case it was that the wheelbase was too short. At highway speeds if I hit a little bump or rough patch it started wobbling all over the place. I like rock and roll, but not when my car does it. At my little site that has no cell reception, and that is placed incorrectly on Google Maps, if I can't do it with my side-by-side or my tractor it's probably not going to get done. This new vehicle scares me. It looks deceptively safe. It's like a golf cart and a car had children. It can do both jobs, but neither of them well.

I like the short cut moniker , fits pretty good I think.

More like classic CJ

I would think they would be successful, however, it would be at the expense of the overpriced wranglers in stock

CJ 2.0.

Why not just name it what it is "CJ". If you are too young, Google it.

A street legal Roxor

My roxor is street legal. Just not highway legal

I heard them say "What we really want is a Willys". I've had a few over the years. Small lift, pizza cutter tires and it'll go anywhere.

Cameras are federally mandated. Along with a ton of other stupid things that add to the final cost.

Dare to Dream of a perfect Jeep.

They couldn’t even do modern fuel injection or fuel pumps without computers be serious

@@Wrangzilla True, but i bet they could figure out how to make the mandates very cheap and removable. Like cheap crappy camera with external harness that can be removed and thrown away with little effort. etc

Keep the 44 front axle.

My Rubicon manual Gladiator was $46k. Where do you get $100k?

Was going to say, mine is Gladiator Sport at $42k but that was just before the market dropped $10k

I feel Gladiators are $10-$15 over priced but in a world where new is $40-$60k over it's best option...

Is that engine even in production any more?

It won’t meet emissions standards and the CAFE fuel mileage hit would cost $$$$$. The pentastar is perfectly fine for this application

@@mattbrew11 Was about to say the Pentistar has been refined to a point that it would be the best replacement. The newer gens are pretty bulletproof and they give more HP and torque than the i6. I love my i6 in my XJ but I think a modern engine would be best. Now if they threw a hurricane engine in this thing.... I wouldn't complain.

​@mattbrew11 The Hurricane would be better, as it is an I6, and turbocharged so it would be quicker

@@Dartingleopard while I agree the performance would be better but that vehicle is super lightweight and the v6 weighs less than the hurricane and is cheaper and less complex than the 2.0T. People forget how capable TJs were with a lot less power but the same weight as this Jeep

I disagree that the two door is already small enough. With the start of the JK the wrangler has felt broad shouldered and cumbersome to me. For a daily commuter the larger footprint and added cabin space are definitely nice. I daily a 2dr 2012. But off road in tight trails this little thing will absolutely rock. To me it’s a breath of fresh air with a nice helping of nostalgia. Now we just have to wait and see if they build it and manage to keep it 25k or (hopefully but not likely) less

Good point!

If these clowns would just get rid of computers u could shave $40k off real quick...

Mahindra makes the Roxor.

Or the new super-UTVs from Polaris etc

THIS.... NO computers... NO ABS... NO "electronic stability control"... NO airbags...

Look into the Roxor
