The vertical bar grille is trademarked by Jeep, so that is a clear infringement. Other than that, not sure what all FCA might be claiming.
IIRC, Jeep holds a trademark for a 7 SLOT grill. The Roxor, made under license from Willys, has a FIVE SLOT grill, due to a previous (settled) lawsuit.
The Roxor CAN be made street legal in some states, just as my two Kawasaki Brute Force 750 ATVs are street legal here, licensed as motorcycles. In fact, I have seen a Roxor on the street in downtown Billings carrying a dealer temporary plate! As time goes on, and more accessories become available (tops, heaters, "bling", lift kits, etc.) I expect to see a quite a few more of them.
Whether the Roxor is towable or not depends on the transfer case. Some Jeep CJ models were not towable due to a lack of lubrication in the T-case when being towed. That problem was fixable by taking a certain gear or slider out, welding fins on it to splash the lube better, then re-installing it. IIRC, the CJ7 was one such Jeep.
