I would but I can't copy the full design and just put a pickup bed in the back, I need to make my own design but it is acceptable for me to borrow a feature or two like the headlights from the orange one and use it on my design. Hope that makes sense.

jumping in a little late. a practical square designed body. Not overly churched up with sleek lines that turn the overall vehicle into a turtle shell.. It was a light duty pickup truck keep in mind. Might be my love for the original MJ talking...

Do they teach the golden ratio? The thing with the cherokee is that I've heard that it uses that for most everything. Its hard for people to not find it at least somewhat attractive. When they designed the jacked up Dart (KL) it seemed to outright be a joke. Its hard even when forced to find a pleasing set of shapes or proportions.
I too am tired of curvy Jeeps (and cars in general) with big front overhangs, a huge distance to the base of the windshield and huge A pillars.
I really would love a modern XJ. All the same proportions. Change the details on the nose and tail, bigger backseat, spare underneath or on the tailgate. Won't work for this project I realize, but I haven't been interested in a Jeep since the demise of the XJ/TJ. This from someone that made a choice between going to CCS and engineering. I chose the latter.

I'm so tired of hearing this. A unibody designed for truck strength will be much stronger than a steel frame. A team of PhD holding engineers at Chrysler proved this out - it would have been done for 2019 but marketing told them that "the average truck buyer" wouldn't accept that. So if the next gen Ram end up being heavy - blame the rednecks.

This is my side view rendering that incorporates as much of the suggestions everyone brought up as I could while still designing something that could actually be produced in 4-7 years.

Brochacho, if I were you, I would delete that file IMMEDIATELY then. You can't post an image on the interwebz and ask nicely for people not to repost it...once it's out there, it's game on. Just sayin'
