Title: Jeep Liberty-based pickup shown in China

Too bad it's the only one.

It is based on the last gen Liberty and does not have any name or logo on the bonnet, neither a Jeep nor a BAW nor a Beijing-Jeep's.

The car was presented, among some others, as a gift for the China Military Museum in Beijing in January 2008. That's a little more than a year ago now, I will sure go back to the museum this weekend to see whether this strange vehicle is still on display.

Chrysler doesn't have a small S-10/Ranger-type small truck.  I think this thing looks pretty neat... it would be an interesting option.  I would love to see a Sport option with a big V8.

Somewhere around campus, I've seen a newer model Jeep Wrangler that's been converted into a pick-up.  Looks pretty cool to me.  They even altered the hard top to fit the new shape, and it could still be removed.  Convertible pick-up, anyone?  ;)

Shoulda just bought an old Chevy Blazer.  I've never seen one with the top off...

I have. It's quite common in Texas.
