US Mag makes a 17" slot but its only available 10" wide and only 3-5/8" back space so the tire/wheels stick way out like your back bumper should be dragging the ground..... If they would do a 9" with 4.5" back space like they do in the 15" I'd own a set. I call them about once a month and ask so fingers crossed by the time I'm ready for tires........
The bus I ride is so short it is a yellow Smart Car full of squirrels, monkeys and clowns.
Looks like an SJ as did their rendition a year or three ago. What a concept!
Too bad they didn't use the same designers for the current Grand.

'84 GW with Nissan SD33T, early Chev NV4500, 300, narrowed Ford reverse 44, narrowed Ford 60, SOA/reversed shackle in fornt, lowered mount/flipped shackle in rear.
There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.

thank you for the previews.... that SJ is electric... I was wondering what was that black outlet on the driver's side hood by the cowl...
Plug-In Hybrid. It uses the chassis from a 4xE.
So its a 300hp turbo, with the electric motor also.

A little late but, if any members need help I run one of the 2 big tire shops in Moab. Point S Moab Tire & Auto.
Good to know, I need to stop in and at least say hi. I was there 3 weeks ago with my J Truck, will be there again in 3 weeks with the Bronco.

I wonder how feasible it would be to swap the chassis like this. In theory the newer frame would be stronger and coil springs tend to ride smoother. I would forgo the 4xe part but the 2.0 turbo isn't that bad even though a 392 would be better.

The JK and JL have longer wheel bases. So the frame has to be either shortened, or the body modified for the longer wheelbase. In this concept, they modified the body. The front and rear wheel opens are pushed farther out.
We do have a current running there here putting a J-Truck on a JKU frame: viewtopic.php?t=20923
