Jeep Rescue - would you buy one?
 

http://www.rockcrawler.com/features/...scue/index.asp

If you could get one minus the auto show foofooraw (camera on the
transfer case), would you buy one?

I would in a heartbeat.

BTW, there was a nice article in the latest JP magasine about this
vehicle. They didn't get to drive it though....

Comments? How do you think it would perform off-road?

No one would depend on an air shock absorber and it puny brackets
for the total suspension:

It seems like that extra wheelbase would make it Hummer-like in its
ability to bottom out and high-center, even with the extra 4" of
electronic suspension lift, doesn't it? It sort of looks like a
Liberty after several months of failed Atkin's diet, too :)

Well, it looks like it has all the important bits, solid axles and a manual
transfer case. The approach and departure angles look to be better than most
SUV's. It probably would perform a little better than the Cherokee based on the
rear departure angle.

Loose all the prissy show car stuff, air suspension, diesel engine, run flat
tires, computers and the remaining mall rat BS and it might make a good
replacement for the Cherokee.

Note I didn't say that it would make a good replacement for the Liberty, IMHO
just about any mini van on the market would be a good replacement for that nasty
thing <lol>.
