Looks interesting.

Looks interesting.

Looks almost exactly the same to me!!  But then again, from behind all Jeeps look very similar.  What usually changes is the front grill, and they don't have any pictures of that.  The front looks a bit lower than the back, as if it's raked for better air flow at high speeds.  Windsheild also looks a lot more slanted.  Overall, I still have no idea what it's going to look like! :)

Well, it looks a bit wider then a TJ.  It might even be longer to keep everything proportional.  The doors, windsheild and top are really different then the TJ.

Like they mention, the skidplate is much flatter then before.  I'm guessing the one pictures is a Rubicon or a Sport.  The other one (which happens to be white) looks like a SE with the smaller GY AT's and the side step.

I don't know why they even bother to drive it around with a bang over it.  It say's "Look At Me!" more so then if it was uncovered.  I'm sure most people wouldn't even think twice about what it is if they saw it uncovered.  It not like anyone's going to steal their idea that late in the game anyway.

The biggie to me looks to be some sort of modular top. <similar to the Rescue concept>

   The pic that shows the rear you can see the hinges coming down from the top on the rear window.

 ...also note the BFG muds...

Hmm... There's an access panel in the bag for a passenger-side fuel fill.

Wonder if it comes standard with the vinyl covering... That'd be a plus on those pesky brush trails!  :P

I'm just glad they haven't killed the traditional Jeep concept- solid axles and the spirit of the traditional body layout are still there.

It looks like the new JKs stayed about the same as these test jeep "TK"s

Well, they were never 'TK's', it's what people thought it would be called. Everyone was calling them TK's beofre Jeep officially announced the name.  All they knew before had was that Jeep would be using 'K' as with the new model.  Since they had the TJ going with TK would seem logical.  Instead they kept the 'J' in the name and followed it up with a 'K'.
