Spyshots!

[AdamSnow]

On my way into work this morning, I noticed a convoy travelling down the 401 headed from Windsor towards Toronto... There were 2 white Toyota pickup trucks in front, and 2 behind all of them with Michigan plates...

They didn't look pleased at all that I was popping pictures of this thing... but who cares Anyone know what this might be?

Spyshots!

I'm thinking it looks like a Jeep TJ or something...

Nice shots! I don't know what it is though.

That is the next Wrangler, coded TK. Notice that it is a 4-door.

EDIT: Here's the two door:

Yeah Jeep planned on adding a 4 door to the lineup, wonder how that'll pan out...

Awesome guys! Doesnt take long to find out what it was on here... haha

Sounded like one of the full size RAM's... could be a HEMI in there, but obviously cannot confirm...

not illegal to have obstructed view in the back like that ?

The 2.4L and 3.7L are definately going to be avilable, but there has also been rumors of a 5.7L.

Semis would certainly be in trouble if that were the case.

For reference, all you need is a driver's side mirror and either a rearview mirror or a passenger side mirror.

You can see through it... just not up close, or while taking pictures of it... the flash makes it light up.

That's a beefy rear axle, it may have been a V8.

Can't see the front axle

Yeah, it was hard to get a good angle on it... I was driving and snapping at the same time... His convoy didnt like me taking pictures, and tried to block me from getting beside it and everything...

you can have a wooden board for a back window if you want. Like IamWiz said, just a driver's side mirror and a rearview/passenger.

I think that's one of the best parts about Michigan. I see these kinds of "covered" cars all the time.

There's been a Grand Cherokee SRT8 that has been flying up and down by my work for weeks now. They beat the piss out of that thing.

There has also been a Dodge Caliber in camo zipping back and forth, too. They put a fart pipe on it, and I cannot figure out why.

Isn't it a little strange they would be driving it around on a highway instead of putting it in a trailer? Or do you think this was a road test?

I would assume they were taking it somwehere. This was at about 7:30am ... not many people would have saw it...

Found it odd that it's convoy was Toyota trucks...

They do that to throw people off.

And they don't tow it because they try to accumulate as many miles as possible on those mules. 100,000 miles in just a few months is very possible.
