===Main Competitors===

==Hybrid Models==

A hybrid model does not exist as is designed for extreme reliability.

==Unique Attributes==

Designed for military use, the axles are both beefed up to a heavy duty Dana 44 front and a Dana 60 rear axle equipped with Dodge Ram brakes. The frame is built for severe use and the rear suspension uses leaf springs to facilitate more than a 2,500 lb. payload capacity and a 3,500 lb. tow rating. The vehicles also have a number of military-specific components, including a unique hood mounted snorkel type breather for water fording capibilities, tow loops that are rated for helicopter use, an air filter capable of running as long as five hours in zero visibility dust storms and a remote-mounted battery.

==Interior==

Interior is on par with the US Jeep Wrangler aside the lack of creatures comforts not applicable for military vehicles (ie. Radio, GPS/NAV, Carpeting, Sound deadeding material, leather seating ). Carpeting is replaced with rubber flooring for hose out ability.

==Resale Values==

Not currently known.

==Criticisms==

None noted.

==Generations==

==Current Generation: (2008–present)==

No other pictures available other then what has been posted currently.

==Worldwide==

The Jeep J8 is produced for military and civilian goverments around the world to any that purchase them. These vehicles are currently not available from the factory for US or Canadian consumption as the emission standards cannot be met with current powertrain.

AEV, an American company, has stated its intention to release a limited number of Jeep J8's for US Consumption.
The vehicles well be built by AEV using the american built MILSPEC components recieved from the Egyptian factory that produces the J8. The vehicles will be sold as a component rolling chassis including full instrumentation, upholstry, ABS and optional air conditing components. The vehicles will NOT include any Drivetrain (engine and transmission) as the J8's powertain cannot meet emission standards. AEV will equip the vehicles with complete wiring and mounts for either a HEMI V8 or VM 2.8L Diesel(same as produced in the Jeep Liberty CRD) and for a Chrysler 5-speed Auto Transmission.

==Design quirks and oddities==

Visually near identical to Jeep Wrangler aside from unique hood vent on the right front corner and extended body.

==Awards==

None currently noted

==Unique Attributes==
If there are any features of this [[automobile|vehicle]] that sets it apart from other [[automobile|vehicles]] in its class, then mention those ''unique attributes'' here.

==Criticisms==
Please make sure to '''''keep critiques in a third-person point of view'''''. If using criticisms from a reputable automotive source, then '''''please make sure to cite the quote'''''.

==Worldwide==
Only 10 Tomahawks exist. One is held by Chrysler LLC for Display purposes and 9 were sold through Nieman Marcus as rolling sculptures and as such cannot be certified for use on public roads. As they can move, they can be driven on private roads and racctracks.

==Design quirks and oddities==
By US DOT Standards, as these vehicles have 4 wheels, they cannot be classified as motorcycles.

==Awards==
Not really an award but an achievment in and of itself. One of the few concepts ever produced in which persons could have purchased copies (albiet very expensive copies @ $550,000.00 a piece).
