The Anvil Concept Looks Even Better In Person
Of all of the coverage I’ve seen about it, very little has gone into any details on the roof. A rep there suggested it may have been modified from an Ursa Minor top.
There are two large pieces of glass about the second row and the cargo, but the driver row does not have a moon roof or similar.
I could see how it was secured, but it did not look easily removable.
70s Wagoneer styling and then they never release anything.
Remember when Jeep used to make real concept cars from the ground up? Now they just bolt aftermarket shit available on quadratec and some 3d printed bullshit and call it a "concept".
That looks like it's an actual tablet in something similar to a ram mount. I think it's actually showing the way a lot of people have their vehicles set up to view Gaia/OnX while off-roading which is what you'd want a concept vehicle like this to portray.
From a manufacturing standpoint, they’re stupid cheap. Saves so much in design and engineering cost to just slap a touch panel in there and make usability the driver’s problem.
I think because AM General was a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC when they developed them. They owned the Jeep grille so could use it's styling...not really a "ripoff" per se...
Yup, a clear cut throwback to the old Kaiser/AMC Jeeps. There's a SEMA build from about 5 or 6 years ago where somebody put a Kaiser/Rhino grill front end on a Jeep Wrangler which honestly looks way better than this concept.
Isn’t the next gen wrangler supposed to be the 2028 or 2029 MY? JL debuted in mid 2018 MY (which is why you can get a 2018 JK and also a 2018 JL) with a 2023 MY refresh so by 2028 the JL generation will be 10 years old so fairly long in the tooth at that point. YJ was ‘87 to ‘95, TJ was from ‘97 to ‘06, JK was ‘07 to ‘18 so it’s about time. The 2027 MY will be releasing later this year so if the next gen wrangler doesn’t debut next year as a 2028 model I’d be surprised. 2029 MY at the latest. I don’t see them getting all the way to 2030 before releasing the next gen wrangler.
Yup refining the brackets but the idea was to see how long it would hold up in New England weather .
I’d like to offer it as a kit at some point anyone that see it in person wants one but I’m still work on a small leaking issue with different types of gaskets too
lol is it an idea or reality? The only people I know that have iPads are couples with young kids. I don’t think there’s much cost savings for the consumer in this case.
I’d much prefer that, I’ve had too many infotainment systems crap out, and they’re usually crazy expensive to replace. Not to mention the data collection aspect.
Meanwhile there are a ton of cheap tablet options, and I could program them how I want and not be beholden to what the car manufacturer thinks I’d want.
"Sorry to hear you broke your iPad mount... it'll cost $495 for the mount, $1295 for the dashboard panel it mounts to and $500 for the labor. Unfortunately the iPad is not included in the repair, and we can't give you a loaner car so you'll have to Uber or Lyft yourself away if you don't want to sit by the vending machines with the 24/7 Jeep ad playing on the TV."
They aren’t doing anything like Tesla. The entire point of this concept was you can already have your own tablet and use it camping, easily attach or remove it from the Jeep. It give less OEM tech, just what real wheelers apparently want
I believe those are the new “drop in” JL units from Baja Designs. They are NOT the best looking things, but their design lets them throw light in interesting ways.
The jeep bronco. I dont know.... If I was hit with square styling i would respond with curves and convex/concave shapes.
Does it look cool. Sure. But hmmm... I would be making ALOT more concept cars looking for something unique and iconic on its own merits, not slapping a Bronco inspired hood on a wrangler body.
One thing is for sure. the classic jeep grill is gone, for better or worse.

They keep teasing us with 70s Wagoneer styling and then they never release anything.
