What kind of options and standard items would you like to see if jeep brought back the XJ? I know I have seen a few similar threads but they are mostly filled with people saying it will never happen and that it will suck w/o the 4.0. Obviously its not going to come back in the same exact form as it was in 2001 but if someone could actually keep them from ruining the simplicity and reliablilty of the XJ what would you want? Yes we all know that they wont bring back the 4.0 because of emissions.
Here is my list:
-Some form of small (3-4.5l) I6 Turbo Diesel option, preferably a new cummins engine I do not want to see a minivan engine engine designed for higher rpm performance.
-6 speed manual and a new reliable automatic
-8.25 rear standard D44 as an option, Maybe even a rubicon package with D44's front and rear
-An updated exterior that keeps the traditional XJ styling (not the 2500 front)
As mentioned have a rubicon package and maybe a package that takes it up a notch:
-Have options for a 4.5" lift, 33" tires, Front and Rear bumper/Tire rack with full size spare, upgraded steering and suspension for comfort/performance, maybe even a factory frame stiffener system
An interior with the more commonly added options while still keeping it simple and clean:
-A cleanly installed touch screen radio/gps option (with the option for offroad trails in the gps) or a nice CD/Radio with the standard options
-Work some gauges into the touch screen for anything you might want to monitor (trans temp....)
-Better speakers with an option for a factory sub
-Bring back the limited with power heated leather seats
-A good factory switch panel that allows for expansion for aftermarket items (winch, lights...)
-Factory mounting for a high quality flashlight
-Keep the T-case and transmission levers
