I had that EXACT same Jeep, but it had A/C too and of all the Jeeps I've owned, (which is SO many. I LOVE Jeeps) that was without question my FAVORITE Jeep. I miss That thing everyday. Every other Jeep I had after that, just never could quite match that TJ. In my personal opinion, that was the best Jeep they ever made. I feel your loss. I'd give up any car, truck or Jeep I've ever owned to get that one back. My name for that Jeep was Sherianna. Named it after my super hot girlfriend who was the "one that got away". Amazing how they both ended up being "the one that got away." I was so dumb to sell that for a newer one. I fell for the marketing hype of the Rubicon Sherianna was FAR superior Jeep by far. I had a Dana 60 in the rear with an electronic locker and a Dana 44 in the front with a full-time custom made quarter turn locker. The way it worked is for every time the free spinning tire turned 1 rotation, the other tire would turn 1/4 of a rotation. That way you didn't get the chirping when you went sound corners but you had that extra traction when you needed it, and since it was all mechanical and not air or electric, it never failed. Oh, and of course it was a manual. I think ALL wranglers should always only be manual. You just have so much more control off- road with a manual than an automatic..

Give this an option package for a “computer delete”, using a fully mechanical diesel, a 6 speed manual, a true mechanical transfer case, and a PTO to run equipment, and Jeep could easily lower the markup by fulfilling tons of international fleet vehicle orders in developing nations!

The best physical feature is the pre 1992 roll bar with the downward slanted rear bar. Awesome! 👌 Half doors and a soft top are a must for basic weather protection. Give us a super reliable, torquey straight six instead of an overhead cam motor. And, of course, a manual transmission. Aside from those things, this could be a home run if they can just keep it simple!

The short cut is basically a modernized CJ or YJ even. Jeep has been on a decades long trend of physical expansion. While it’s clearly been a huge success, the original size Jeep is still very exceptional for off road and daily driving applications. Obviously this will be a harder sell to a family or an overlander, but all other purchasers should be enticed by the reduced cost and incredible capability. I had a YJ in high school and that thing was incredible. Sure there’s compromises, but it had charm and character that can’t be replaced. A new, shortened, and affordable jeep are very long overdue

I would hope all the electronics and seats would be waterproof! A New 3 valve 4 cylinder no turbo with a 5 speed manual.

Yes, and flat metal dash and an analog speedo in the middle.

THIS.... NO computers... NO ABS... NO "electronic stability control"... NO airbags...

I gave up on the idea of buying a new Jeep. All I ever wanted from a Jeep is a small, capable 4x4 at an affordable price. Give me a simple roll bar, bikini top, a manual transmission, and the great outdoors. I never needed air-conditioning or power anything. This is the only post TJ Jeep I have seen that offers any interest to me. I loved it the first time I saw it years ago. If it had a manual transmission, and I was in the market for a new vehicle, this would be at the top of my list.

Oh man, shades of my 1973 daisy yellow CJ5 bought new through the Navy Exchange in the Philippines for $3860 full price! 'Drove Imogene, Red Cone, etc. and all over western Colorado; we're now in a 2016 JKU. We've wondered if a concept vehicle like this might show up one day. Great idea, and you're right, they need to keep the price down. Thanks for this video, 'brings me back to a good place. Great channel, been following for a couple of years! We were at the 2023 EJS vendor show; fun time!

This is precisely what I'd be looking for in an offroad vehicle. Keep it Simple, Stellantis.

Love it. Pray they don’t put an electric motor in and turn it into a golf cart.

More good EJS coverage like this! Any more info about Hurricane 500? More info on affordability, please.... Keep that Pentastar engine going.

It be super duper awesome if Jeep brings it to life. The production version will have to have doors, headrests, and may have smaller tires BUT A simple basic vehicle like this in the mid-20’s would be nice. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. Backup camera can go in the rear view mirror eliminating need for screens. What I’d like is the steering wheel controls gone too, the joystick type cruise control behind the wheel will work, a column shifter, and bench seat with a fold down arm-rest.

Reminds me of the old cj5. The problem was wheel base was too short and very unstable the cj5 was also used as a mail jeep. The locking hubs and tapered bearing made it cheaper on gass for less drag and with tapered bearings it was cheaper to service

you had me at _Dana 40s!_

Absolutely beautiful. I call these types of artworks: complex simplicity. I love the the basic design. Everything you need to hit the trails.

Brings back memories of the old CJ5,, if jeep builds this I would most certainly buy one for sure 👍

I remember going to the auto show in 98 in Salt Lake City. They added “14 inches” to the normal two-door and added two doors. The prototype was called the 4-door Jeep Dakar….

Speaking of Suzuki, have you seen the latest Jimny? It has coil springs all around, 1.5L 4 cylinder, and now comes in a LWB version with 4 doors. And yes, they are still tiny compared to even the Shortcut.

I've been looking for a Jeep type vehicle in Taiwan. They don't sell Jeep. The Bronco is not offered. Cant find any old FJ40s. They do sell the Jimny but no removable roof.

I'd like 31" or 33" tires. I really feel like 31" is a sweet spot for most applications (serious rock crawling or mudding being the exceptions). I'd like the option to get @ least a rear locker, but I probably wouldn't get it. 'lil "jump seats" in the back would be a cool option for the kiddos. Otherwise, if Jeep built this @ a $25k base price, I think LOTS of people would buy it.

This reminds me of the CJ 5 I had back in '78. shortly after I bought it they were banned because of "roll over" problems. Then right after that Suzuki Samurai,s got imported which also had "roll over" problems.

Love it! Reminds me of my 1976 CJ5

Finally a Jeep from Jeep. 😉

I have a Roxor and LOVE it! But I would trade it in a heart beat if Jeep was selling this setup with a little diesel with 100 HP 33” tires, 488 gears and a true 5 speed manual transmission.

Jeep if you're listening, this is what I want. My favorite Jeep in the world is my TJ. The only way that I would ever replace my TJ is with something like this. Make it and I will buy it!

💯% need! Bug out buggy!

I love everything about it. I had a classic 73 FJ-40, and I almost always ran it with no doors and a bikini.

So many companies are shooting for those cheap vehicles to stay competitive in this market. Jeep and the Chrysler family are in a unique position with that 3.6 engine, it's been around so long that the R&D costs we're covered years ago. So they can put it in anything without adding the design of a new engine to the cost of the vehicle, definitely saving you thousands on your final invoice. Not sure how many other brands have a viable engine that's so long in the tooth but still in production. Overall, I hope something like this comes to fruition. That Toyota truck they're talking about and something like this that is fun to drive and nimble and capable thanks to a light weight, while having everything you need and nothing you don't is just such an obvious path to go down. Hoping we see more like this.

I actually love how much of a throw back this is! Even has the Plaid print seats! They better not screw this up.

I disagree that the two door is already small enough. With the start of the JK the wrangler has felt broad shouldered and cumbersome to me. For a daily commuter the larger footprint and added cabin space are definitely nice. I daily a 2dr 2012. But off road in tight trails this little thing will absolutely rock. To me it’s a breath of fresh air with a nice helping of nostalgia. Now we just have to wait and see if they build it and manage to keep it 25k or (hopefully but not likely) less

I really like this concept. I hope they put it into production. I would be one of many buyers. This reminds me of CJ7.

Reinvention of the CJ-5, more or less. Mid 60s, could be had with a Buick V6 and alternator. Not sure whether an automatic was offered, but adaptors were readily available, and JC Whitney had almost every accessory you could want for it.

I see that the Shortcut was introduced in 2016 at the Easter Jeep event as a concept vehicle which Jeep does every year (display and drive concept vehicles). Are they waiting for a certain favorable marketing time to put it into production? That was 8 years ago! I also remember that Jeeps CJ series had some issues with rollovers and introduced Wrangler which does not have that potential flaw. Wider, I guess. The Shortcut might also be wider, and I hope it is put into production because I miss the bare bones CJs.

Love the plaid seats. Cool looking rig. Build it. 😎

Hell yeah ! Now that's what I call a real vehicle for a realistic person !!!

Love the concept! A reminiscent CJ5. I think a stripped down 2 door Gladiator would be great. Call it the Scrambler!

I immediately thought of the series Tropical Heat and detective Nick Slaughter in his Jeep CJ. Only the color of the car was blue. I loved the series and the car.

I would absolutely buy one of these, reminds me a lot of the 1966 Ford Bronco I bought and my son now has sitting in his garage! Doors off, straight 6, 3 on the tree, 4:11 gears....so yeah sign me up!

That is pretty exciting and cool! Hoping Tommy is right with a starting price of $25K....but Nathan's $35K guess is probably more inflationary period correct.

Make it a manual, no power windows, no frills, optional doors, full roll bar , full soft top only, spare tire in the bed or optional seat

Kudos if they make a fully-enclosed pedestrian version as a "pack-mate" to it. Make it a spiritual marriage of the old-school XJ and TJ ideas; have a small family of affordable vehicles on the shared platform.
