SPY PHOTOS—JEEP JUMPS INTO THE TRUCK MARKET

From Brenda Priddy & Co.:

"A late day of shooting means a late night filing stories, but the views of this Jeep pickup are worth the wait!


 
"We tend to keep an open mind and are always on the lookout for prototypes and test mules, but this Jeep nearly caught us off-guard.
 
"We’ve had 'Scrambler' spy photos years ago, and we’ve even seen it at various auto shows, but nothing ever came of that prototype. Now, undergoing serious hot-weather testing is a modified Unlimited—only this Unlimited appears to have two doors, a pickup bed and leaf-springs. It's also right-hand-drive.


 
"All this leads to a lot of speculation, but sources guess that one way or another—consumer, military—this multi-use Jeep will make it to production."
