With more demand prices go up... better for those that are selling, worse for those that are buying. Also means more aftermarket!

That waggie was also on the History Channel special about 4WD.
Just noticed, no chains or straps on tat Waggy...Probably wasn't going any farther than the pic anyway.

Didn't someone post on here a while back about an article in GQ or some such that was about the old school SUV?
Add it up:
1. BJ's (god love 'em for meaning well..) puts up the Truck's show about a budget rig
2. Pop Science does their thing with the FSJ on a Durango chasis and drive train
3. The "this is the REAL cool SUV articles in the popular mags
4. D-C now showing the old iron along with their new stuff
Either D-C will come out with a new Durango that is "retro" to look like an FSJ to compete with the "movement" of the FJ, HHC, etc, or folks will start giving Wagonmaster and similar folks LOTS of $$ and we wont be able to afford parts and such to keep our rigs up and running..
I will be honest about one thing: I know they aren't building it, but if they do decide to unshelf the Rescue, I will have to sell my YJ and my GW to buy one.
I guess it is good over all, but if the Rhino grill prices are any predictor, I will be paying new car prices for parts to keep my rig on the road!
Oh well..

Remember that they scrapped the hurricane. That must be the next concept SUV. Everyone is going retro!!

They're just like clothes designers, they have to go retro every so often because they can't think of new ideas.

That Dodge truck is just what we all have been lookin for. Just strap one of those under your rig and:
Increase top speed
Increase reliabilty
Increase fuel economy
