Thanks Jake. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out why you cannot lift one

Man, that rear axle looks really skimpy. Surely not the trail hawk

And the shame is it probably took a ton of time and money to come up with that mess.

No this is a limited. The last photo in my first post just baffles the crap out of me. A short chunk of exhaust pipe for a brace? I don't get it. And the whole front carriage is a slab of cast aluminum which to me makes absolutely no sense at all. The front control arms are bolted to the "frame" through a chunk of 2x2 square aluminum tubing.
It is all about gas milage vs weight. Supposedly the new Wranglers at some point will have lots of aluminum as well

That's the rumor, for 2017 anyways. One other thing I thought was goofy was the 3 piece rear driveshaft with 2 hanger bearings. Just dumb.
Got to keep the engineers employed
I bet some of those drive shaft parts will show up on the shorter Renegade

What in the mother hell... is that rigging from a stage or something under there on that first set of pictures, lower right picture?? That little useless section of pipe and the joints at each end look like something I've helped put together for a lighting & sound structure when I was in school!! Or even better an antenna mast like for a home base station CB or HAM setup..

DOING SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE YOUR BUDDY DOES IT THAT WAY MAKES AS MUCH SENSE AS SHARING TOOTHBRUSHES
It is quite the cluster f under there. You're probably right Steve. That thing might be interesting underneath also.
I would guess that the front is the same underneath, as well as same tranny, rear end, A arms etc with just a shorter rear drive line and lighter spring rates

Who knows. If you guys want any more detailed photos of the new jeeps just let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Those half shafts look plenty thick enough for the amount of power it puts down. Looks pretty easy to lift to me.
