Will lighter Wrangler lose its tough solid axle?

Jeep's moving into the go-fast business, haven't you heard?

Gawd, get with the program.

Frankly, I know that if I screw up the next Wrangler, then I probably wouldn't be able to leave my house for a long time.

I can't wait to see him ruin the wrangler line.

great so it can be on the same platform as the patriot/compass/avenger/caliber....just you wait and see. hide yo kids hide yo wives

[Zullock Holmes]

At least they know the repercussions of fucking it up

I can't see how ifs and irs will help with mileage that much.

I assume weight loss but it can't be that significant right? Just offer it without a top or doors at all

For example, all I could find quickly was the weight of a ford full width 44 on a pallet loaded was 436 pounds. You figure the crossmember with center section and a arms would be about the same. When I did the lift kits on those tundras everything adds up quick. Im thinkin ifs would help with aerodynamics. That or too many people have been crying over death wobble.

I wonder if there will come a point where off roading just doesnt happen anymore

Dont forget now mot of those components are made from aluminum. Aluminum arms and knuckles with bracketry built into the sub frame. I wouldnt be surprised if it was a couple hundred pounds lighter. aluminum center section, CV axles.

Cryder is wheeling a 1976 Bronco! We have decades worth of wheeling ahead of of us!

Dont forget the legalities of wheeling as a factor in what I mean

This will be the ultimate demise of wheeling. Much more so than vehicles of course.

[HeavyMetal]

its all trickle down, if manufacturers dont support what they are peddling (even if its just bullshit feel good marketing) then there will be dwindling enthusiasts in the long run, which will have obvious effects.

if we lose all of our land, then there will be no point in any of manufacturers/industries to make anything to use it, yadda yadda
