Your ideal factory Jeep. Stuff Jeep SHOULD have done straight from Toledo.

[HeavyMetal]

What are some things that would make your ideal factory Jeep? Lets not make this a lame ass thread that says OMG JEEPS ON 37S WITH FF60S AND CUTTING BRAKES!1!!

Lets be reasonable and logical with this one.

Standardized bolt system, aka all metric or all SAE, pick one please. Ideally metric. All grade 8 (class 10.9).

A continued XJ (duh) with STILL a unibody, but a really strengthened strong unibody. (aka you dont need 4584943 tie ins, it doesnt bend and explode)

No dana 35s. Dana 44 rear standardized.

No weak unitbearings.

Bigger better brakes from the factory (no more wet sponge please)

Rubicon or similar trim packages all throughout the line.

[Zullock Holmes]

rubi transfer case standard.

Considering it would be a cherokee.......
44 rear standardized, bigger brakes, stronger unibody.... like will said
beefier steering setup
factory removable doors
adjustable trac bar from the factory
Dana 30 shafts with the spicer 760's instead of using the 297 u joints

[Kyle]

basically all of the above.

Better Brakes, Rear discs no D 35, the 29 spline 8.25 and D 44 are 2 very good options.

A nice Ruby style trim package would be nice.

No 4 banger

The 4.0 HO with the tj 6 speed manual tranny would be nice.

D 30's with beefier setup, U joints, shafts, etc.

Standardized bolts DUH

Power accessories that dont fail after it drives off the dealership lot.

Stock size tire to be a 30x9.5 with 3:73 gears stock, fuk that 225 or 215 tire bs.

Rear head rests like the export models

Continue the Xj line longer like the Bejing style xj or just keep it the same, people would still buy a 2009 xj if it looked just like a 2001.

x2 on the Dana 44 rear standardized

Less use of the torx bit bolts, really there is no need to have 10-15 torx bolts holding on the fender flares, SAE bolts would have been fine.

4W disc breaks, though probably unnessary on a DD wrangler would be nice.

Better interior patterns on the base models, simple gray or black cloth seats, no need for the weird off color pattern designs.

[grundlepunch]

x2 on ACTUAL HUBS, ya know.. lockouts? (would save gas too!)

get rid of that stupid factory steering. get a propper drag link and tire rod

track bar setup in double sheer on the frame side

beefy steering box with a brace

higher clearance gas tank

tubular control arms... (are they on the JK's?)

get rid of that stupid t-case linkage

and a flat skid (not the shovel thats on newer TJ's)

beef up the sheet metal thin axle brackets

an A-pillar and spreader bars on the stock cage with "oh shit!" handles

that bout covers it

like jeep gives a fawk what its enthusiast base likes

i kinda figured :-\


im being optimistic?

[Ktmracer419]

won ton drivetrain option

or at least half ton

[SupermanIce-J]

1. Beefed up unibody or a frame (same dimensions as unibody rails.)
2. Internal roll cage
3. Removable doors/ half doors
3. Hemi or 4bt option
4. At least 1/2 tons optional 1 tons
5. Rubicon option (i.e. e-lockers, 4:1 gearing, 4:10 gears(optional4:56,4:88,5:13) and KICKIN stereo)

Of course the price of said vehicle would be outta my price range and part of the fun (at least for me) is getting my hands dirty and building the shit myself. Also, the Cherokee, I believe, was meant to be an economical car with a low price so this "dream factory cherokee" is not even feasible.

cummins wranglers

cummins wranglers

That would be so fucking real.

[Mighty Quine]

i like alot of these ideas. i would want them to come stock with 32" ATs atleast, like the FJ does

[Buffalo Phil]

uhm...

Without repeating anything that was said here...I dunno. You guys seem to have most of it covered.
