    You should see it in person, Billy! It is really wicked! Obviously they will never market something with tires that big, but it is a cool concept!

    I've never been a Jeep fan of anykind, but the Jeep-40 Concept looks pretty sweet. I especially like the low center of gravity; with the body not being lifted up to the moon, so it could traverse sloping terrain without rolling over. In addition; being from the "factory", the entire package of components would be well engineered to work in concert with each other with high reliability. However, it definately needs a hard-shell bolt-on roof assembly to keep the greedy hands of car burglars out of the Jeep's interior when parked.

    Still; as far as 4x4 concepts go, the Chinese Hummer HX/H4 concept RULES!!!

    Yeah, that high reliability part... um, it's still a Jeep soooo...

    You're right, a top would be nice but since it's a 'chop-top', I imagine the lack of headroom would really suck.

    And I'd still take the Hurricane over all the other concepts... nothing says practical like dual Hemis...
