While these photos came from the Retro-A-Go-Go! tumblog, we found more information on the Jeep and the XLI program on www.CJ3B.info. Apparently, Jeep was finding itself falling behind or unable to compete in a number of world markets that Land Rover, Toyota, Nissan, and other four-wheel-drive manufacturers dominated. To rectify that, Jeep executives ordered a program to investigate how cheap and easy-to-manufacture bodies could be built via CKD kits on various Jeep chassis.
