For me it just shows a market. I think it's dumb to do such a thing with a vehicle made for a totally opposite purpose but business wise it's probably a good decision for you guys to market to the urban crowd. I see plenty of JKs with 20"+ wheels and I'm betting some would love a supercharger but aren't reading 4x4 mags, watching xtreme 4x4 or are on forum.

I say market to everyone and make some moneys!

That has to be one of the ugliest Jeeps I have ever seen. If we wanted a low rider with 24" wheels, we could have gotten something better than that. I have a real problem with people taking a rig that was meant for a specific purpose, and trying to change that. Good luck with this

Thumbs down

This is just aimless. The winch shows how this is a dumb thing. Oh, maybe we can do U-control with this modified something...

Also, Jeeps and overland vehicles are not compatible with "turbos".
Some people are clearly doing Jeeps slaves on their purpose the show themselves.

Its clear Jeep has up-scaled their interior with the 2011, heading in a definitive direction. WE WONDER WHAT ELSE A JK can do -

The question is - can a JK do Range Rover Sport?

The trim package reminds me of the element, or scion, or one of those kind of cars so it is probably not far from reality to think it could be done. I personally think its ugly as hell, but i am sure that they would sell like hotcakes just like the rest of these types of cars do. I would just hope they did it with a commander instead of a jk.

Nope, that is why Chrysler made the Grand Cherokee.... If anything the JK would/could be competing with the Land Rover Discovery - but even that is a stretch.
