FT-4X Concept vehicle.

I never thought they could make an uglier vehicle than the Fj. I have just been proven wrong.

That rear tailgate design is pretty cool though huh?

They say it's designed to be a spontaneous be able to go explore off the beatin path vehicle. Isn't that one of the main reasons we buy Jeeps?

Not sure if that will ever become a reality (hopefully not), but it wouldn't surprise me to see mfg's trying to cut into the Jeep market which has dominated recently. Seems like Jeep struck it big with the JK so it's no surprise to see other's want to jump into the market.

"Let's Go Places"

Yeah, make sure you take enough cans of paint for the places you can't really go.
