Looks pretty good. Was hoping to see Axial update their current Jeep to the new body style, but I'll probably end up getting this one.

Finally!

They should have had this body 2 years ago.

I don’t mind this one at all, but I hope the JK rubicon body doesn’t go anywhere because I like the rear and the windows on the JK better. Always good to see a new body!

Not bad at all, actually it is rather well done. The down side of having a nicely proportioned JL body is that it makes the Gladiator body look even more ridiculous.

Too bad the internet told me that no one likes Jeeps anymore, Proline will be sorely disappointed when they only sell like a million of these.

Oh wow a Jeep for a change!

I don't know if the paint is causing an optical illusion, but this one looks unusually bubbly. The door handles and hinges are the specific areas I'm talking about. The same phenomenon appears to be going on around the windows.

Other than those oddities, that may be nothing more than optical illusions, I think it's one of their best Jeep offerings of late. It looks good with those wheels and tires. Are those 4.19 or 4.75? Judging by the sidewall it looks like they are the 4.75" flavor. If so, that has to be a pretty large body.

EDIT: Just saw I got honorable mention! I don't actually hate Jeeps. I just think the body companies have an unusual love for them. Maybe the licenses are cheaper than the rest or something like that. I just wish they'd branch out a bit from these 4-door, soccer mom, mall crawlers. You guys that live in different areas may actually see Jeeps being used off-road, but that's not going on here.

Well, let's look at what people are driving at a recent 4x4 event....

A LOT of 4 doors in the field.

I have nothing against the 4-doors. I love the look of them when they are lifted with larger tires which is what you see with this Proline body. I'm saying that the 4-door Jeeps around here are usually driven by a woman and it's most likely to be found at Starbucks or Target.

Can't the Wrangler be both though? The most popular vehicle at Starbucks, and also the most popular vehicle on the local 4x4 trails?

most 4 doors are driven by women so they can throw the baby seats in the back

W B Crawlhog!

IMO someone should build a Rc Version of the StepChild, From LightBrite!

Not unlike the Proline Gladiator body, it just looks a bit off to me in pictures. Having said that, once I got my Gladiator body in person and got it sprayed up, did some subtle mods, I actually really like it now. Always cool to have more body options. I do agree with Jato that all the body manufacturers seem to have an unhealthy relationship with their love of ALL THINGS JEEP.
