New Wrangler Scrambler

2028 Jeep Wrangler Scrambler Is a Two-Door V-8 Desert Runner Worth Waiting For

Jeep is planning a retro-themed, regular-cab halo truck with independent front suspension and a thumping Hemi V-8 heart.

I was all stoked until... IFS? and maybe IRS?

It's only a matter of time before Jeeps get IFS front and rear. To me that thing is ugly.

Nah, the LJ is really more like a wide door CJ6.

Scrambler's gotta have that big booty!

Ohhhh.. CJ - 6! So much want there! Maybe someday. Y'all remember the TJ-6 I think it was called. Made for Egypt Military IIRC. Had a Dana 60 rear.

Cousin has a stock CJ-6, it's pretty damn sweet.

I drove a new Rubicon the other day.

It was the Epcot version of a Jeep.

At least they still break down all the time and fall apart, they didn't engineer out that aspect of jeep ownership!

From the article - these 2 statements don’t seem to match…

“The Scrambler will serve as proof that Stellantis is listening to its fans”

“Jeep confirmed that the Scrambler will break with Wrangler tradition by featuring an independent front suspension, and suggested it may even go independent at the rear”

 

[thecarman]

Also from the article - I don’t see how this would be possible within the dimensions of that yellow Jeep in the photos?

“While the Scrambler features two doors, it may still pack four seats, with the doors extended a tad to ease ingress and egress”

The hate for the new jeeps that still have solid axles… Same as the hate for the TJs in the late 90s early 00s.

I remember everyone saying that when they got rid of leaf springs and put coil springs in this new thing called a TJ.
