   Completely removing the "utility" in utility vehicle, this has my vote for style over substance. One good speed bump or mistake while parking and you lose that front cold air intake radiator prominently showing down in front! ...could just be a generation gap thing or the fact we're having the extremely rare rainy day in Arizona.

   This complete "Makeover" seems to defeat the purpose of owning a Jeep.

   Well, the body is still Willys. I would guess the "accomplishment" was in the "powertrain" which did not get featured in the pics. I don't see it as a "SEMA build", but if it does make it into SEMA, then Willys is back in it again prolonging the attention to the versatility of the iconic "WILLYS JEEP", one way or another...IMO, it's better than seeing it rotting away a slow death forgotten in a field some where...
