    I actually bought my Renegade because new Suzuki's are not sold in the USA. The rumor has Suzuki returning in 2020, and the new Jimney could be available here. The Jimney's pretty amazing off-road with it's solid axles and light weight. These little 4x4's can hang with a Wrangler in the rough stuff.

    Check out these Jimney numbers: Approach angle 37 degrees, Break over 28 degrees, Departure 49 degrees.

    I wonder if Jeep would create a Rubicon Renegade to compete. That'd be sweet.

    I love my DesertHawk to death but if they released a Rubicon Renny I'd trade it in in a heartbeat lol

    not only that but they would need to make the wheel wells bigger too so you could get bigger tires without cutting pieces off the body, get some good 32 or 34 inch tires. That would be awesome!

    The Jimney's an impressive package, but those are 27" tires and they are tucked into the body work pretty tightly, the solid axles will make it easier to lift, but you're going to have to go up pretty far to fit even 28" on there... A lot will depend on the after market support...

    updated samurai. No; SJ 410 is better fit. It had solid axles.
