Anyone else catch the "RPM" section of the Feb. '01 Four Wheeler? According to the magazine, the 2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ will have a "hard core off-road package" consisting of rock rails, Dana 44's with lockers FRONT AND REAR, rear disc brakes and an NVG 241J transfer case with a 4:1 low range. WOW!!!!
Sounds like Jeep is pulling away even further from the rest (READ: FORD), doing what many of us have suggested: give us options from the factory that we're going (or would like) to do through the aftermarket.
Any more rumors of Ford building something to keep our business? They're running short on time for some of us...
I was checking out my sister's '98 Sport over Christmas (I like that body style better than the new '01) and commented to my dad what a shame it is that Ford won't take that basic truck and make it off-road-able. He has commented several times that if they put an Early Bronco running gear/drivetrain (manual tranny/transfer case/hubs, solid axles, etc.) under and in that truck, "they'd really have something."
Oh, well...I'm beginning to accept that my next truck (SUV- I hate that term) is NOT going to be a Ford.
