I was thinking the offset was like that cus' they were prob going to test a bunch of different wheel/tire combos, including very conservative fitments.
Sheet metal doesn't really need to change...its almost the identical to the ft-86 II concepts. For the headlights it the bottom round part that would need to be sharper and that would be changing the bumper. For the tail lights its the same, the top is flat just like the concepts and the ugly parts touch the bumper so that's an easy fix.

Honestly the more I look at this mule I dont see a difference from the concept. This thing just needs a drop and it'll get its sexy back. Hell the concept even had the small front side window it was just tinted.
