its a little funky. i like the hood. reminds me of a first Jen bronco. plenty of room for a top mount inter-cooler. fenders gave it the look. but i bang mine up all the time. might be a plus. well the grill. i don't like. but they have been loved or hated since day one. i just think they are rely cool unique machines. i have daily driven mine for the last two years. with very few problems.Gonna need a new hood as well if your trying for a flat fender look.
Ph 360 581 6648Anyone needing a windshield and top for their new roxor I have a set plus roll cage. I took them off mine when it was new. As they are the same from firewall back should fit.
I built my own cab.

So there is a Jeep manufacturer in the Philipines called MD Juan Jeeps. They make reproduction MB jeeps and early CJ's. You can buy all the body parts. Made with steel and looks like Jeep specs. Not sure how they keep their license with Fiat being on the prowl. Omnix, Quadratech and a few other US jeep suppliers carry their products. Maybe we can order CJ fenders / hoods and throw them on.
When the Philippine guard came over to the US to train with us they brought they're jeeps. I picked up a couple at the dock and hauled them over to the training grounds. Of course I had to check them out and asked for permission to take a look at them.Kaiser jeep in the philipines have all the licensed rights to the Willy's jeep. Tens of thousands of WWII jeeps were left behind after the war. Philipines took advantage of that. Factories were built to continue the Willy's jeeps.
Crysler would really have a fit it they started shipping those to us.When the Philippine guard came over to the US to train with us they brought they're jeeps.

They were 4sp, 4cyl diesel. Right hand drive. Axles looked like a clone to the 42 ford military I grew up with. They were high hood and were extended a bit to the rear with body. Wheelbase looked the same. The rear axle was not a full floater though.
Just looking at the new ones and the way the fenders go into the grill, I am wondering if they aren't flat fenders in behind that plastic. It would make sense just for the bracing. If so I am sure there will be some aftermarket grills and hoods.So which one of you bad ass master fabricators are going to make us some bolt on flat fenders so that we can take it really old school?
