Anyone else here struggle just a little bit with seeing a cowl-induction style hood on anything other than a Chevrolet? I mean, yes, it looks good, but to me, it only looks "natural" on a Chevy. Anyone else feel that way?

I noticed right away , but didn't say anything , but it's just wrong . It would be like seeing a T- bolt's teardrop hood scoop on a Superbird.

Okay, now this is pretty cool, I have to say (and trust me, I am no fan of EVs!)...

I don't know Squatch :unsure: Isn't that blasphemous...:ROFLMAO:
I mean, ok I can see the allure of a Classic truck with an EV mod, but to go and use the chassis of the biggest insult to the Pony Culture EVER conceived as the platform for the build:oops: OUCH!

Ok so it's really well put together but for heaven sake they could at least have left the solid rear axle in it!!! That 4 wheel independent suspension just kills it for me!

Did you notice the cost to replicate it? I'm thinking you'd have to be some sort of Jeep forum administrator to do something like that! :sneaky:
 
So, I'm pretty much a no for any and all EV, but I really think we need to talk about something I noticed with this truck. What dumbass made the decision to convert the truck to all electric, but leave hand-crank windows??? Let me guess, manual door locks and no AC. :rolleyes:

@Zorba are you responsible for the manual windows in an EV? Is this your way of sticking it to the man? :LOL:

Just as I thought, manual door locks and not an AC vent in sight. I'm pretty sure the aftermarket solved this problem years ago.

I would want the A/C - and cruise control - but I'd also want the manual windows, and for Goddess's sake lose that fucking touchscreen!
