Makes me want to slap the taste out of the mouth of a tree hugger... I want a diesel JK; I might just have to stick a Duramax/Alli in my JK when it finds it's way home. Anyone care to loan me $10k.

Very Nice...
Actually, I found the article very informative on the relationship of the Corporate side of Jeep, and its relationship to the HMMWV. Interesting how it was the same company for that short time.

(Anyone selling used HMMWV, been looking for years now)

Thumbs up

.... oh, also, anyone going to Egypt next year? If so, care to pick one up for me? I'm sure there's a way to get it to pass inspection

(Now to find a military friend overseas who can have their car shipped back stateside)

Oh, I know I was crossing a line... but I'm not talking the H2 or H3... You have my permission to shoot me in the face with 12ga if I get one of those.

I'm not selling my JK for it... I want to add it to my arsenal of vehicles

x2. I love the simple look of that bumper. I believe nates4x4.com is developing something similar but I don't think it will be as wide (only a 46" stubby). Have yet to see a pic though.

Yeah, this isn't super new "news" - we've seen pics of the Egyptian military and several prototypes on U.S. roads near Chrysler test sites. I'd like a diesel option when my JK won't run anymore, because that's as soon as I'll part with my current Jeep.

So - will the new nickname for the vehicle be "Jate"?
