Not gonna happen. Especially with front impact and offset ratings being crucial. It's one of the main reason you don't see cabovers anymore.

Post by: neale_rs on March 23, 2012, 08:43:12 AM: Maybe they could be made for Mexico. There are some new small FC trucks on the roads here, not sure of the brand but not 4x4

Step on the rocker then step onto the tire and swing in. It's easy :lol: Probably no worse then getting into a Jeep with 35's though.

The FC would never pass frontal and offset crash tests. Although if they offered it as a kit it could work. Too much work for the average builder though. Basically, they would have to offer a complete body and seeing how much they charge for the pick-up kit, it wouldn't be $10-15K.

Post by: FourbangerYJ on March 27, 2012, 05:37:51 PM: The Nukizer or whatever it's called would pass all the gubment safety stuff. Seeing those going into production would be cool. Or any pickup for that matter.

Probably do better then the JK since it has more metal. I really like the J12's chrome bumpers and the dog dish.

It's a dropside like the original FC and Type II VW.

The sides may not be as tall on the Jeep but it's still a dropside. You can see the side is dropped in http://www.autoblog.com/photos/jeep-mighty-fc-concept/#photo-4920671/

Yes.

Post by: neale_rs on March 28, 2012, 02:10:03 PM: Lol, someone there must have sense of humor or they want to market it to bottlers in places like Mexico where soft drinks (beer to of course) are still sold in glass bottles and the soft drink (not beer) trucks deliver to individual homes.

Or maybe it's to promote drinking and driving! :lol2:

Corona is very popular with a lot of Jeepers. Hencho en Mexico Coke is also very nice.
