Question Jeep Wrangler Limo

Hey guys, I've been a member for a little bit, mostly watching and reading. I have a Wrangler myself that I love and I am also involved in the transportation industry. I have an idea to build a Jeep Wrangler Limo. I'm not on here to solicit any of you but to gain your input and thoughts.

The Jeep limo will maintain the characteristics that we all love about our Jeeps. It will be have the removable top and doors and the other Jeep specific traits that make a Jeep a Jeep. My company is in New Jersey (Central) and the goal of this project would be to build a limo that would appeal to the Jeep Fans and to the Jersey Shore area.

I look forward to reading your feedback and as we push ahead I would love to be able to incorporate some of the ideas that I receive from the community here.

Have a fantastic new year!

Dude toe read my mind, have seen everything made into a limo. From hummer's to Mini Coopers. Glad to see finally a company making a JK into a limo. Now it has to have a lift, minimum tire size 35's . When you start this project post up some pictures, please.

I think it would be a hit in the summer, especially if you're in an area where you can drive on the beach with the top and doors off! Kind of a party land yacht!

Yes the breakover angle would suck. The limo will have a lift kit for appearance purpose, but we would not be taking this onto the trails. Perhaps the beaches in NJ for photo shoots etc.. The vehicle will be used for promotional purposes as well as rentals in NJ - Weddings, Proms and entertainment events such as sporting events, casino trips etc...

I think it'd be cool to see more JK limos than all the Ford truck/hummer styles you see.

That sounds like a really good idea:
-especially if you can drive on the beach for weddings or events
-People love to stand up and look out from the roof
-Appeals to the less formal new money crowd

I'd do it.

Hard top or soft? Both could be great depending on what the event is, and if you're driving on a windy beach or not.

it would be an awesome idea , there is a pic somewhere on here of a six door jk in texas , how long are you talking ? it would really be bad ass with 40s etc . hemi powered? 3.6 or 3.8 wouldnt lug all that extra weight. would def be better than the hummer or expedition ones you see as someone said

I believe that Jeep was owned by a company in New York State. I've seen pics on line, but not able to actually track it to an owner. I want to thank everyone thus far for their input - take the poll if you have chance too. I want to make this dream a reality, and I want to be able to include ideas of the members here.
