This is the Tiny, Cheap Jeep We've ALL Been Waiting For!

People commenting here and Nathan included, mentioning this should start $35k? You can go and build and order a 2-door Wrangler JL Sport for $34k including destination charges. Manual, no AC, doors with crank windows. Your dream is available right now. This should be $25k or less for me to consider. I got my JL two years ago for less than $30k, brand new, and again it’s still available below $35k MSRP.

Love my Roxor, plus the fuel efficiency and torque of the diesel is amazing. I also have doors, heat and AC if needed. I agree Jeep, Toyota and others need to get smart and make an affordable, stripped down 4x4. They would sell like crazy, so many desire them. Not everyone needs touch screen dashes, sensors everywhere, power seats and all the other junk that makes vehicles so expensive today.

Instead of suing Roxor, Jeep needs to offer a competitive product!

Straight 6, 4 spd, no ac, power steering, 4wd. Power brakes. Spare tire. Add top and doors. Yea, I'd buy one.

It would need to come in under 25k or it’s pointless- the standard two door wrangler is already too expensive. The whole purpose of this would be to bring to market the basic off road capable vehicle of the past

Needs a manual transmission and keep the solid axels!

Jeep needs to listen to its fans/customers and build this with the same running gear and swaybar as the Rubicon! Keep up the good work TFL.

It looks like a 2024 CJ-5 and I'm here for it! My dad had a red 78, inline 6 when I was in diapers. Got rid of it before I even knew what vehicles were. This scratches a huge nostalgia itch for me.

I had a bare bones 1976 Jeep in 1992 with no doors, no seatbelts, no top & no back seat but it had the 304 4bbl 3sp & I put some 33's on it & it took me everywhere I wanted to go & it was so much fun ✌💖☮

Needs to be a NA 4/manual.

The best physical feature is the pre 1992 roll bar with the downward slanted rear bar. Awesome! 👌 Half doors and a soft top are a must for basic weather protection. Give us a super reliable, torquey straight six instead of an overhead cam motor. And, of course, a manual transmission. Aside from those things, this could be a home run if they can just keep it simple!

It's literally a CJ5 throwback and I LOVE ITTTTT ❤️❤️

Reminds of my old CJ 5. When I bought it, it had no doors or top. When winter came, you just put on a snowmobile suit. I would buy one.

Just bring back the 1971 CJ 5, 225 V6, 4-1 transfer case, 44 rear, 30 front axels, auto transmission, soft top and doors . I ran this with a granny low turbo 350 transmission and an overdrive off the transfer case with 4-88 gears and 33 inch tires, Detroit locker in the rear and a lock right up front. IT CLIMBED WALLS. This was in 1995.....

Now imagine what you could build yourself with $35K. This really makes me regret getting rid of 47 CJ2A that I had a total of around $6K in. I bought it with a SBC and Muncie M20 in front of the Dana 18 which also had an original Warn Overdrive. I added Saginaw steering, boxed the frame, installed 3.15:1 low range gearset, replaced all of the worn out leaf springs with SuperLift springs and shocks and put it on 35" tires. Upgraded to cooling system and rewired the whole thing. It did everything that I ever asked of it and never left me stranded.

I love the shortcut. Basically you’re looking at a road legal ATV like side by side. Compact dimensions, relatively light and nimble. Take an entry Jeep sport, offer the half doors with soft top, remove rear seat and put retro white Jeep wagon wheels on it, in the smaller size say, 33 inch or smaller. And keep the sticker price under $35,000 with shipping.

Wrangler Classic, basically do what some companies do, take an older model, put modern components in it and sell it cheaper. As much as I dislike Apple, what they do with iPhone SE is actually brilliant.

With a manual and limited slip differentials, this would be my ultimate hunting/fishing and vehicle for the beach.

Hell yeah, that's closer to what I drive now than the newer stuff. An LJ with a bikini top, half doors, and 31" tires is my daily driver.

This is precisely what I'd be looking for in an offroad vehicle. Keep it Simple, Stellantis.

Why doesn't Jeep just license their old designs !!!

Reinvention of the CJ-5, more or less. Mid 60s, could be had with a Buick V6 and alternator. Not sure whether an automatic was offered, but adaptors were readily available, and JC Whitney had almost every accessory you could want for it.

Awesome!!!! I must have one NOW!! Closest thing I've seen in 40 years to my 1974 Bronco.

I have 63 cj 5… all black with a 327 sm block ….two door… just like that … I love it!!!!

Finally a Jeep from Jeep. 😉

Seems almost like a modernized Jeep CJ5 (short wheelbase) , no rear seat, no frills vehicle. It evens has the traditional CJ rollbar!

Love this concept. I would love to see this under $20k. I have been wanting something like this!

Love the plaid seats. Cool looking rig. Build it. 😎

All jeeps should stay solid axle. Many of us still want good axles that take big tires, we still want lockers, the option to be able to go into super low gear and crawl and then everything else be basic. Manual would be great. All while still being able to be road worthy. I think many of us are over the plastic bs and the fact every auto manufacturer wants to make it look like a space ship. (Not jeep but everyone else. ) not all of us want to spend 70k on a vehicle to keep up with the neighbors.

This is a thing of beauty, practical and usable, all it needs for European (UK) use is doors with wind up windows and a roof either hard or soft and then it’s cool perfection.

That is pretty exciting and cool! Hoping Tommy is right with a starting price of $25K....but Nathan's $35K guess is probably more inflationary period correct.

Make it a manual, no power windows, no frills, optional doors, full roll bar , full soft top only, spare tire in the bed or optional seat

This is the Jeep i would buy for overlanding. Stripped down and affordable. Reminds me of the CJ5 and 7 models.

Perfect hunting vehicle! I’ve long said that the new Suzuki Jimmy would be a phenomenal side by side alternative. This would be the American version of the Jimmy.

Kudos if they make a fully-enclosed pedestrian version as a "pack-mate" to it. Make it a spiritual marriage of the old-school XJ and TJ ideas; have a small family of affordable vehicles on the shared platform.

All they gotta do is just bring back the original Willis Jeep that actual size from the 40s to the 60s just bring that size back with the four turbo in it. That’s the perfect size you put down in the $20k You have a lot of people buy it.

Everything that was wrong with the CJ, that they fixed with the Wrangler, and now done again. Makes perfect sense! Those little seats with no headrest, hello whiplash in an accident. Nice short wheelbase, so you can roll over on a sharp turn. No roof, because it never rains. I hate this product.

It’s too good. Jeep would never allow a simple utilitarian vehicle to be made… it would interfere with their $90k+ vehicles that aren’t selling…

I’ve wanted an updated Suzuki Sidekick/GEO Tracker. The ones I had (96-97) were perfect little offroaders. This would be even better. Could be called a CJ4

I have been talking to my friends for years that Jeep needed to do this. I would defiantly buy one at $30K. This Jeep could suppress the classic Jeep market and the four seater ATV market.

I'm a Toyota guy and we know that Jeep is not as reliable, but I'd buy that Jeep and put up with the issues because THIS beats ALL of the 4wd's out there!!!!!!!

It would be nice if Jeep offered something like this that is for off road only. Bare bones and more affordable. Then they don’t need the airbags and whatnot. Would basically be a large side by side. In my state I could register it for on road use.

Modern day CJ-5. I love it!

I'm sure most of the people watching this type of show would be interested in this samll Jeep. The issue is that out in the wild, even in my area of backwoods Alabama, very few people drive 2 door Jeeps or Bronco's. The vast majority are 4 door variants. I'm jsut not sure the market would support this smaller jeep. I like it, my bother had a CJ-5, but I'm also not in the market for a SUV.

Makes me want to get my 77 Chevy C10 that I bought new in 77 back on the road. It needs some TLC, but I only paid $2,750 for it new.

That with a skinny set of non-directional tires with the spare mounted on the outside passenger side of the tub. Brings back those late 40's and 50's Jeep look. I do dig the look and think it's a fantastic look and idea. Which means the fun police would ruin it. However I also see where production would be very different. Such as the roll over bars connecting the windshield to the rear bar would be there due to crash standards. Couldn't have that short of a non-crumple zone for crash safety. Fuel filler inside the passenger area? No go. No 3 point seat belt? No go. Which is a real shame.

🤠 True Texan here, I want one!! Kelly green with green plaid seats!!!

NOW THAT LOOKS LIKE WHAT A JEEP SHOULD BE AND LOOK LIKE! THANKS!

Back to the CJ-7 Roots!

The first time I saw a Roxor and learned what it is I immediately said "Why isn't Jeep doing this?". If Jeep built the Roxor with a four cylinder gas engine they could sell them even cheaper. You just need head rests and cheapo aftermarket style backup camera and you're printing money.

Something like that would be perfect for me. But it would definitely have to have solid axles. And I think it would be the coolest if it have square headlights

Screams CJ5 restomod love it

Take this jeep as a throwback Thursday jeep

I currently own a JKU but if Jeep made a Commanchee again id buy it! Build a 2 door single cab jeep truck with a standard 6ft bed 💯👍🏼🙌🏼

That would be awesome! I'd buy one, seriously. Manual tranny, modern 4cyl. sub-25k price tag it would fly out the dealerships.

IF they could do a production model of this, and keep it as mechanical(diy fixable) as possible and keep the price UNDER 30,000 they would definitely take a bite out of Roxor. The beauty of the idea of the Roxor is simply, its simplicity. Lockers, yes... manual, yes... (The Roxor offers both). Indie suspension, nice but, not as rugged as one might want this lil beast to be, should it grow up into a production model. Roxor, again, solid axles. Jeep may hate the idea but, if they wanna beat Roxor at three own game, their gonna have to borrow a couple pages from Roxor's playbook, then add their own unique plays, while sticking to the restrictions enforced by the tiny footprint. Put all tha together, and cap it off with street legal pedigree... it'd be a BIG WINNER.

That would be PERFECT exactly like that for South Africa if it was right hand drive 🚗 😊

I think there is a market for a stripper wrangler that is 25k. Put in a 4 cylinder, ultra low range, no radio, no carpet, basic basic basic. It would sell well.

I want this so badly. Few different details, but I want it.

The first Jeep I've been interested in for decades... and I drive a Grand Cherokee.

Everyone said they would buy a diesel too…. I did, but apparently not enough did to keep producing it. A stripped down one for under 20 would be nice to see.

4 cylinder, 5 speed manual, solid axles on 32s. That would be the ticket. But I don’t know how they’re going to get past safety regulations without doors and a roll cage.

Take the windshield off for crawling.

If it goes into production it'll be 40k with a 10-15k dealer mark up.

I saw comments for $25k. I have a 2016 Patriot and would like a Wrangler, but now I am priced out. Manual, no fancy infotainment, V6, manual windows and locks. Go for under $20,000 and don't put out multiple trim levels. Make it for consumers and not to line investors pockets.

You don’t need a screen for rare view camera, they can integrate it with the rare view mirror

35 grand for what is basically a slightly oversized ATV? 😂 Ya’ll nutz!

That should be $28,000 tops. That thing is so simple to build.

Back 1977 cj5 was a little over $3000 bucks and great vehicles for fun’in n sun’ in

Good idea. Back to basics. This should work good.

Make doors available, rear seat available. AC optional and send to production sell sub 20k new and I'm ordering one !

SHOULD HAVE BEEN A 392 HEMI I HAD A 401 C-J 5 THAT WOULD PULL THE FRONT TIRES OFF THE GROUND WEHN YOU DUMPED THE CLUTCH . LOTS OF FUN

Congratulations, you just made a TJ.

FREAK'N SWEET!!!!!! I want one!!!! But for every day use.

keep prices Low 30's and(manual trany please!) you got a fantastic starter fun off road car.

A true return of a cj5 platform.

Roxor already has the market for this size model. A Roxor has even completed the Rubicon trail from start to finish. Sit down now.... There is a guy in Tucson Arizona that will cut a Jeep to this size. He has been doing it for years. Jeep has no intention on bring this to market. California regulations being one of many reasons. The other reason..... Forn after listening to customer feedback, may well redesign the basic baby Bronco to have the same capabilities as a Jeep JK.

I would need a top and doors for me to buy it. Obviously I’d take them off sometimes, but I’d want this as a daily

Stopped by the dealership today, and was told that this is concept only and will not be a production vehicle

They should do this with trucks, cars, vans and everything. Simply make a vehicle with no extra BS tech. Just get in and drive. Make it affordable.

A 2 seaters, no door, no frill over 30,000. Thanks, you may keep it at your lot.

it’s called a CJ 5 had a new 1977 , paid $5700 brand new . also had a brand new 1980 as well , paid $7800 . no carpet anywhere ! got every nickels worth out of them . Jeep doesn’t understand who their customer base is . thought i wanted a new 392 wrangler . $92000 . told them they can keep it !

I want Leaf Springs, A Manual Transmission! and a 4 Cyl. Turbo Diesel. and NO Air Bags...

💯% need! Bug out buggy!

Reminds me of the old jeep CJ 5 👍

Looks like fiberglass. Needs a Cummins 3.3 liter in it. Btw the dealers will be tacking on $30,000 to the msrp.

It looks great and is a cool idea, problem is most people need a vehicle that is more versatile for daily use, and having multiple cars isn't an option for many. I don't see this selling well enough to make it worth it to Jeep. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Looks AWESOME

nice cool thing for a modern day city type person. still too much added stuff a person does not NEED. A carbed engine - no computer needed. the WW2 jeep was good as most ppl that knew what they were doing could drive it & fix it. yup straight axles are good. and manual hubs can be optional. mechanical controls - they work, can be fixed [easily] when their worn out. [even temp fix to get off the trail] (even to get home) my 1975 truck has only a pointless ignition. these are enough computers! one potted controller. [carry a spare as they are easier to replace than fix] all linkage needs to be mechanical!! bullet proof you can make new If you cant get the part. :)

Is nobody gonna say that this is a modern CJ-5? I guess that would be a marketing disaster. I had several of those. They were fantastic.

If it’s not 20 g it’s not a cheap jeep . People think 30g’s is cheap now just crazy

I have a 2019 wrangler two door the first thing I did was taking out the back seat an is close to 100 pounds

For that price you could build a badass Cj

I've been saying for years that Jeep should make a side by side. Even if it's not street legal. They should even build atvs. Even if they made something similar to this concept and was street legal for $30,000 or less it would sell so well. Jeep never expected the Roxor to be a hit. It scared them so much they sued them. Which is a load of bs. Jeep gave them permission to build them and just decided that you were selling to many so no more. The funny thing about this concept is that it kinda copies the light weight idea that Suzuki does with their Jimny. That Jimny was actually copying the old military Jeeps. Funny, how Jeep is getting so out of touch with its customers that a concept from Jeep that reminds me of 2 vehicles that copy original Jeeps feels more like real Jeeps than new Wranglers. The last time I looked at JL 2 door in person, my first thought was," wow, these are huge! Aren't Jeeps supposed to be small and maneuverable?" Jeep needs to build this but sadly, Jeep is more interested in turning into a luxury offroad brand more like Land Rover, which has already started pushing buyers away from Jeep.

Looks MUCH like a CJ7 a friend had many yrs ago before Jeep started going for the demanding more $$ by changing models.

Wow $35,000? Just a reminder I paid 42k before taxes on my brand new 2021 2D Rubicon hard top.

The lawyers would make it unrecognizable

My promaster 3500 has a 3.6 Pstar... That thing must JUMP LIKE A RABBIT..!

6:38 Why would ANYONE who is interested in this Jeep want or need side curtain airbags? Loved my '97 Wrangler (and my '91 Samurai) and those are what this seems to be most like in modern times.
