I sincerely hope they have some kind of (strong-ass) rabbit up their sleeve with that fully independent design, or I'd rather see them stick 2 solid axles under that thing (Dana 60's, they could leave the lockers and reservoir coil-overs too  ). |
Dont' hold your breath for solid axles, at least not in the front. I wouldn't be surprised to see a straight axle in the back though. I also doubt we'll see coilovers on the production model. Hopefully they learned their lesson with the H3 and will put in cast iron diffs (at least 8.5"). And keep the front/rear lockers.
The other big issue will be aftermarket support. They need to follow what Toyota did with the FJ and let some aftermarket companies get a hold of it prior to release so we'll have products ready to go from the start.
