Jeep to use grade 8 bolts at the factory and paint everything properly with rust proofing?

I know I sure as hell would.

Would those be grade 8 TORX bolts? Then HELL NO I wouldn't pay/wwwthreads_images/icons/mad.gif It'd be my luck and they'd use the wrong rust proof spray on my Jeep and it'd lock those damn bolts in even worse than they already are!

As much as they want for a TJ, they should already be doing that. Hell they could at least, get rid of the stupid slip yoke at the T case and add locking hubs.

But, that would be going BACKWARD, wouldn't it? You CAN'T have manual hubs anymore cause it's just not cool. I mean...I wouldn't mind if they put a 4WD switch on the dash just like Ferds and Chebbies. Wait, that might leave control in the hands of the driver...better make it a completely automatic all-wheel-drive system like a Subaru... Woops, still got that pesky steering wheel to deal with... Put magnets in the road so you don't have to steer! Wow..I think I'm on to something! Who needs to worry about ergonomics when you don't have any controls? Think of how much money could be saved!

Of course the magnets would work in the mud, since you'd need to bolt the Jeep down onto the rails. I'm sure the attraction designers could build a bit of a mud hole inbetween the starting and ending points. Just be sure to keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times.
