I know it's not TJ technical, but Tractor Supply has new Jeeps for $2499

I thought it was Faceblock? ;)

They’re a step up from a go cart, I have seen some videos on them, they look to be about 1000 overpriced, they have come down about 700 since they came out.
I would probably be inclined to buy a steel mini willys body out of quadratech (same company that makes replica Willy’s tubs) and go from there using a 4wd quad as a donor.

I know a guy that brings 4 to 6 of those to the Iola Old Cars Show up here every year to sell at the swap meet. He buys them for $300 a piece in China, ships them over, and makes a killing on them in Iola at $3000 each. In the last 10 or so years, I've only seen him trailer 1 back home after the show/swap was over. While those I've seen and that above may not be the same, I am certain of one thing - while undoubtedly cool and I would indeed take one, I would never pay anything even close to the asking price. I would rather buy a used and scary fast go-kart for 1/3 the price....

But still, and again I can't argue, it is pretty effing cool....

They have begun knocking these off, kinda like led head lamps, there is no way of knowing who made the first one.
I think I saw a 4wd version a couple years ago but don’t quote me
