Jeep Mighty FC Concept

The FC looks cool but I'd rather have the F-12 next to it.

Jeep Mighty FC Concept: This Is Awesome
It's official. I might die. The Jeep Mighty FC Concept — unveiled this morning in Auburn Hills alongside the other concepts — looks exactly as cool as we'd hoped it would. The Forward-Control Jeep is reborn.

So far this photo from Automobile's Phil Floraday's Twitter account is all the documentation we have on the new Jeep, but more is coming soon. In the meantime, just look at it. JUST LOOK AT IT!

Oh, and there's the F-12 concept next to it. So much Jeep.

The J12, in brilliant red, uses Wrangler doors and hinges, as well as an extended version of the Mopar JK-8 pickup truck conversion bed. It's built on top of a Wrangler Unlimited chassis that’s been extended 18 inches and fitted with a Mopar 3-inch lift kit, Teraflex sway bars coupled to an ARB air locker, Dynatrac D44 and D-0 axle assemblies, and 36-inch mud tires, all mounted to 16-inch wheels. The new bed is 6 feet long. Up front, there are Gladiator-style fenders, a new version of the Gladiator grille and the trademark brow over the windshield header. Inside, there’s lots of body-color paint and a wild plaid interior with not-so-practical Katzkin white seat inserts on the bench seat and bedliner floor material.

The outrageous Mighty FC is also based on a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon chassis and cab, once again using the Mopar JK-8 pickup truck conversion kit as a starter and made over to look very much like the Jeep Forward Control pickups built between 1956 and 1965. The cab has been fitted with a custom flat nose, seven-slot grille and an extra pair of high-intensity-discharge headlamps positioned directly over the front Mopar Portal offset axle assembly for enormous ground-clearance numbers.

The axles use King coil-over reservoir shock assemblies front and rear, and Teraflex control arms and track bars, with giant 40-inch tires mounted on Hutchinson 17-inch eight-lug beadlock wheels. The body features Hanson bumpers, a Warn 16.5 winch system and an 8-foot cargo bed with drop sides and a cut-down tailgate hiding the spare tire. The interior is fitted with a red plaid Katzkin leather bucket seat.

Get rid of the plaid interior and I'd take either one of them. Although, my wife would complain every time she had to climb up the tire of that FC:lol:

I dont normally like the new jeeps but I do like those, especially the f-12.

But wait, there's more! Check out the Apache. Yeah, it's got a Hemi. :shades:

The Apache is a Wrangler with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 rated at an even 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. of torque. There's just a five-speed auto now, but Jeep says a production Wrangler six-speed manual is coming. The chassis gets a lot of work, too, with new front and rear axles, a 4.5-inch lift, a winch, a new bumper, new wheels, and new fenders. And they cut all four doors in half for you.

Love the red pick up.... There is one thing that would make it look better.... My huge smiling face behind the steering wheel ... But found a pic of the other one I would put in the dive beside it. The Grand Wagoneer concept here they r together
