Bad Back or Bad Taste???

What is this thing? It looks like a Jeep top at least, but the rest......... I have never seen this.

Brand new 2002 model even

I've seen a few of these in Metro Detroit recently. Interesting. But one good tree hit and all that fiberglass is going to shatter.

A friend works at D-C Financial, an avid off-roader...he has an '86 XJ Wagoneer, lifted, 31" tires, a cherry '79 CJ5, and a J20 pickup. Anyway, a couple years ago the Landrunner reps were there to try to get a factory- or dealer-installed option deal for their kits. Someone at D-C told them "Man, these kits would sustain major damage off-road," they replied "No one takes Jeeps off-road anymore."

Then they were shown my friend's parking space, where the Wagoneer was parked covered in dried mud.

Reminds me of those ridiculous Slant-Nose Porsche front ends you see on old VW Beetles sometimes. Stupid there, stupid here.

Oh well.

I always kinda liked the old Rolls Royce or early Ford front schnozzles that could be installed on Beetles.

Its even possible to rice up a CJ ..
