EJS 2022: Jeep Bob Concept

[John VonJeep]

I like it! Although I'm very curious how that giant hoop and giant lights affect engine cooling.

I wonder if the front bumper is an indication that Jeep will be using AEV products on future models as they did with the JK models.

Yeah. i don’t like it. AEV hoops are too massive and too close to the grille to provide any real protection. Even a small deer would bend the hoop back into the grille

ditto!

they mention using the Diesel, but skip a few things i'd be curious to hear more about.
for example, what gears did they use with that engine and those 40s?
and is this "ColdAir Intake' they refer to through the hood scoop(s)?

I want to know more about that hood, is it functional and does it play nice with water and internals. Also, where did they move the washer fluid reservoir?

Of all the projects this one is the most "teaser-ish" in my opinion. It definitely draws a lot of questions. I didn't even think about the gearing potential.

I mostly dig it. Completely impractical of course, but still a pretty cool concept.

I really like this concept. However, I've noticed neither this nor the Magneto have hinge mounts for putting doors on. Guess they're intended for garages and arid climates only. Guess this one would have to have suicide doors on the rear since there's no B-pillar. I do like these tops, unlike some other folks.

I’m curious about the cab. Is it shorter than a Gladiator? When they removed the B pillar, did they shorten the cab by that much or is it an optical illusion? I like it but it doesn’t look like a production ready concept.

plus I like that it is a diesel.

Isn't a bob'd Gladiator just a JL?

 

[mdkautzman]

I could never wrap my head around Jeep not redesigning the front of the Gladiator so it did not look exactly like the Wrangler. It was disappointing then and still is now that it seems they're sticking with that design in new concepts.

The Jeep Scramble shared the same front end as a CJ. No one cared then.

Not shortened. The B pillar bar was moved back giving it that appearance. It's explained in one of the videos.
