Now THIS is not a Wrangler

[Chile1]

Wheels and tires like this are the automotive equivalent of "duckface".

but at least she's cute...

I think the axles are bent.

Interestingly enough, the Broncos did not come with the word "Wrangler" on their tires. They say "Goodyear Territory" instead. Ford had them specially made because they didn't want the word Wrangler on them (even tho it's exactly the same tire). The pic you posted is likely a pre-production model.

But as a Bronco owner, I agree.... not a Wrangler!

The same goes for the 37" BFG Tires One for ford Raptors and a standard 37" but the speed ratings are different. For a while BFG had 3 part numbers for 315/75/17 tires, Jeep, Bronco, Standard

I don't have the words...

Well... it does say they went "All In"....

Reminds me of a ford explorer in my neighborhood that had a 4 foot lift. Not even joking. He had a similar sign that said "Because I Can"

I think that's got to be photoshopped. Every time you see vehicles slammed with the wheels all cattywampus, they are inside the wheel wells. These would rub all day all the time. No way this is real. If it is, all I can do is SMH.

I think it is real, I saw a slammed gladiator (photos at sema and on IG)

It's a sketch, if you look up the artist it says it's a sketch(render or whatever) he has many "sketches" of different vehicles

Yea, you guys make fun of this now, but when war inevitably breaks out in one of the many purple and white forests that can be found here, your Jeeps will be blown to bits. But not this guy. "Where'd he go?", the enemy will ask, "I can't see him". Hint: he's right behind you, perfectly blended in with the purple foliage.

Maybe they plan on putting it in stasis for a few thousand years, for use on Psychlo.

The amount of people who think that the original picture could be real is why I have lost my faith in my fellow Jeepers. Not because of the sketch, or that they think it's cool. But because they don't realize that it's not possible to do that in the real world.

I submit articles A and B before the judge and jury as evidence.
Article A, the Wrangler and Gladiator both ride on solid axles. The way that the wheels mount to the axles means that the vertical axis of the left and right side wheels will be nearly vertical in the rear, and nearly parallel with each other and nearly vertical in the front when the wheels aren't turned.
Article B, even if someone was scatter brained enough to remove axles and build an independent suspension design that could stuff the tires like that, it wouldn't fit. There's nowhere near the room required because the Fram and body were always meant to have a much simpler solid axle design.

No reason to loose faith in our Jeep community. We have all seen (and possible done) crazier crap to a vehicle. Plus the rendering is very good. I have seen other concepts by this artist and they are very detailed. We Jeepers love and cherish our solid axles, but seeing an idiot drop and stance a JLU would not surprise me. Even then I would be impressed with the home brew engineering.

This one might be but I have seen this at SEMA from video and photos.

One thing is for sure, the generational gap is large enough that the debate is about what a real Wrangler is and not what a real Jeep (CJ) is.

I remember this one
