Pickups often have wider front axles and narrower rear axles. Because pickups are long, having the front track wider than the rear improves turning radius.
Its weird how much wider the front end looks then the rear. I hope its a) the angle of the photo or b) thats not how the production unit turns out.
I may be swayed to the truck version so long as it looks like the above AND the top & doors come off. If the complete top doesn't come off - there is 0% chance of getting the truck version.
In this pic you can make out under the camo what looks like the same freedom top as on the JL/JLU? Which would mean it's fully removable.
It's likely not the same, as it's the length of the JK/JL top, but the rear piece is unlikely to to have a flip-up rear window.
Good eye. From this photo it looks like you're exactly right.Looks like the body/bed would be angle cut to accommodate the rear fender.
I'm thinking no way the JT doesn't get fully removable top since we now know the JL/JLU have it. If that's part of the essence of what a Wrangler is, then would make sense that the Wrangler pickup also gets it.Would be a shame if they couldn't deliver a JT with fully removable top and rear window considering the AEV Brutes were able to go fully top/windowless. This thing is bada$$ and my want is high
Interesting, hadn't thought of that reason for the difference in front and rear track width. The JK has matching front and rear 61.9" track width so I guess Jeep didn't feel it was long enough that it needed help with turning radius.
I like the angle cut better then the straight cut that the AEV Brute has. Who made this truck?Looks like the body/bed would be angle cut to accommodate the rear fender.
That one there is a Starwood Motors custom, the Bandit ( the one above is their ridiculous 700HP SEMA demo truck for ~$250,000 which was also made for Dustin Pedroia) ;
Would bet no chance. Assembly line nightmare. It would have to be swung in from the rear perfectly flat, and those angled sections would just be body side sticking forward. The front wall of the bed by the cab isn't going to be shaped like that. DON'T make judgements based on the camo. They have all sorts of padding, etc under those things. Strategic stitching, etc.Looks like the body/bed would be angle cut to accommodate the rear fender.
