I think that is called a "J8". They've had those overseas for years...with a diesel, too. I saw a travel show filmed in Brazil, and they guy had a diesel J8, stick-shift with a drop-in camper. Very cool.

Doesn't look like the J8 to me, looks like a JK8, big difference

JK8

It's quite the lengthy project (2-300 hours at a body shop) and here's a short clip of how one was done:

I when wheeling with a guy last Oct who has one, I can see why this hasn't taken off after seeing it in person

The JK8 is a kit you buy from Mopar that converts a 4door Wrangler into a Reg cab truck with a small box

I thought dealers started doing a Brute conversion as an option, but the dealer had to perform the install and would not sell the kit. Otherwise you had to get it directly from AEV and it was something like the cost of the base vehicle plus an additional 30 or 40k. Yikes! There is a white 2013 Brute for sale in Tampa for $66,000. Double yikes!

That would be the jeep gladiator it has been around since 2010. Cool concept, I know my dad would order one if they would come out with it.

if I was in charge of Jeep, I'd drop all of their 90 crossovers, do a pick up version of the wrangler, and start building a full size and heavy duty size wrangler with truck and SUV version.

This was just sent to me via face book,for sale at a car max? As you can see, it's a piece of crap kit. The original pic I posted is not a kit. It is a pu that Jeep may release to the US market. If it could be bought stripped down, no bull chit inside, I would be a buyer.

It is forsale.... You take a 4 door JK, go to the Mopar parts catalog, pick your favorite body shop.... And there you have it

Dealers around me have them, but can't seem to sell them and you can pick it up cheap at least a guy in my local club did
