I'll try and get more pix tomorrow. Weather turned real ugly this afternoon... wind storm from the Gobi Desert!!

Jeep unveiled 2 new vehicles at noon today. Hope to get pix in the morning.

Thanks a bunch.

I'm digging that Jerry Can tool box thing. A bit spendy by the tag, but not bad for what it is. Kinda hard to read, but here is a link to their website...

Don't even want to know what they want for that pull behind trailer with the RTT on it. Cool thing though.

As promised here's some more pix of the Jeep line. Many were hoping for an announcement that they may be introducing a CRD in some of their line, but that didn't happen.

Not sure why Jeep makes some of these models that have a very limited niche market. Corporate mentality for sure.

Cool stuff. Definitely more "out there" then last years stuff. Less of them that I would definitely want to see hit the production line, but also some neat ideas that could get worked into something too. Still think it would be neat to see the Kaiser Jeep and the Khaki colored Jeep body style come to an actual production model.

The army jeep with the gun was pretty funny to me. Very GI Joe seeming, in a cool way but questionable useful for actual combat. he one I would most like to see hit the production line from this year is the Liberty, since it makes it more rugged looking and something the closest thing yet that makes me think of the XJ/Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee's are just tweaked curent ones, but still very cool. Kinda surprised they didn't bring the new SRT8 version, since its supposed to be the highest horsepower and fastest Jeep ever...

465hp Hemi V8 sounds nice.

Thanks a bunch for the pictures and coverage.

oooh......just noticed the Dana based Portal Axles under the Blue Crush rig.......that takes it a step above the rest in a lot of ways.
