I like it but I think it's overkill for the target market. I rather get a stripped out Wrangler for offroading and keep a well optioned JCG for daily driver. I got a CRD Limited with Lux pkg and didn't want the air suspension for long term reliability nor added weight from skid plates. If I could have opted out of the heavy panoramic sunroof I would have but it comes as park of the Lux pkg. I came from a Frontier Pro-4X and I never got to take it off road.

I like the RTT, front fascia/winch, light bar and sliders. It needs a way to carry extra fuel/water and support antenna mounts for HAM and it'd be perfect. The rest I could leave off and be happy.

I wonder if one of those skid plates is DOMs :D

im really interested to see how they 34.5's!!!!!! I would love that extra clearance, would really make these vehicles more capable

A rear locker would be nice too :p

Didn't see anyone post this yet. Most people here don't seem to build and take their GCED's off-road too much but this is a great build concept out of the 2015 Jeep Easter Safari based on an Overland EcoDiesel w/ Air Suspension.

Nice looking Overland "Concept" The Winch, larger driving/fog lights and bigger wheel openings with those fender flares AND the rock rails would be great additions to my Overland. Would pass on the overhead tent however. I even like the sage-green color, but I'll keep my Deep Cherry for the time being.

if the JK has a diesel ill be in the dealer even if I have to pay 20k over and above the list price

I would drop my Hellcat request in a heart beat

So did they disable the air suspension? Really curious how they fit those tires...either that or they swapped the air-ride with one that gives a bigger lift and can be overrode?

The Car and Driver article said the system was an inch higher to begin with. Then they opened up the wheel-wells to fit the bigger tires. It would be nice to be able to accommodate those bigger tire without rubbing potential.
