Nice 62 Resto-Mod! What chassis builder did you go with?

Love the 550 and GT3RS!! Both serious hardware 😃

I had a MINI R53, R55 and R56. Put over 100k trouble free miles within 5 years on the R56. Was a great car! Love the Ice Blue (?) color.

The one source I found was a C&D report from 2023, speculating that the new Gladiator and new Dakota may share underpinnings. But as Body-On-Frame. Edit: Not sure when this was published. It notes Body On Frame for the 2028 Dakota. https://www.caranddriver.com/ram/dakota

Yeah, that ‘real Jeep’ argument……. It’s been around forever. I understand - I love my JT because it resembles a vehicle brand and style that has been around for decades - instantly recognizable. Three scenarios - 1) the JT sales will be in the slumps enough for Stellantis to decide not to...

I get it - especially considering how many here are allergic to IFS‼️🤣

A few more from the archives…… (My wife calls me a car whore….😂)

There’s also a possibility the new Gladiator will share platform / assembly with the new Dakota.

1957 Corvette 283-245HP

🤣

Very valid thoughts! That wasn’t on my radar. I’d guess that future sales numbers will drive such decisions. Potentially if the JT sales lag enough and the JL numbers are strong, it could very well be that the JT line steps aside for the intro of the new Wrangler.

It would not surprise me if 2029 will be the same as 2018, where both, the outgoing and incoming platforms were built and sold.

His crystal ball is probably smudged up, or has a crack in it……..

Very cool - White steelies are on my list as well‼️ Along with white Retro Jeep Fender and Tailgate scripts. Had these 18” on my WK2 and JL (finished in black). Will have them powder coated white first (getting rid of layers of rostoleum spray paint).

💡That’s an important aspect of the pricing equation! Makes sense.

Great and interesting video! Thank you for posting it. Its pretty clear that any OEM can’t just switch gears on a dime, and start installing powertrains willy-nilly. The return of the Hemi in the Ram was about as straight forward as it gets. Design (and testing) was in place. If the H6 would...

That’s interesting info! I tried to find some references within the Crate Engines, but had no luck. https://www.dcperformance.com/crate-engine

Would the H6 fit the JT chassis, or will it need a longer engine bay? The 500cc/cylinder seems to resemble the BMW recipe (2.0 4Cyl and 3.0 6Cyl). Ram Forum comments seem to be very positive on this engine.

Agree - every new car design on the horizon has that cheesy tablet suck to the dash, they call instrument cluster. That alone is a no-go for me.

Committees - That’s how the Camel came about…….they started with a Horse.😂
