    Nothing like stealing a 30+ year old design and sticking Jeep badges on it
    Looks like a Mog to me!

    If Isuzu did it, would you like it?
    I'm not a jeep fan, but i do respect there No-Car policy, and sticking to off road vehicles. All you have to do is Debadge it. Put a canopy on the bed, paint it rover green, put spikes on ur rimes and ur set for a convoy, or a zombie-apocalypse.

    The Willys Cab-over Pickup came about shortly after the Mog, close to 60 years ago...waaay back in the day! That's the look they were going for...Just sayin.

    The Willy's looks more on par with the VW van pickups IMO

    Simple............"frontal crash safety"; and resulting lawsuits/liability against the manufacturer's, but I'm sure aerodynamics also played a role in improving MPG. How many Cab-Over design semi-tractor trailer big-rigs do you see on the freeways nowadays???

    The coolest cabover design pick-up ever created was the Hot Wheels "Deora" from 1967/1968 era with the surf boards.
