Those of you that fancy turning your four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited into a two-door pickup truck will be happy to know that the firm’s much-talked about JK-8 Kit is available for order now through Mopar at Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram dealerships, with pricing set at $5,499.However, Jeep does note that the JK-8 kit, which comes with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty, is for “skilled do-it-yourselfers”. For the less handy amongst us, the company said that the kit may be purchased and installed at a Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram dealership.
Revealed for the first time to the public at this year’s Moab Jeep Safari, the JK-8 package borrows its styling cues from the 1980’s Jeep Scrambler CJ-8. The kit includes a steel bed, inner and outer bedsides, sport bar extensions, freedom panel assemblies, fiberglass hardtop and bulkhead.
Here’s how Mopar describes the two basic processes involved in the conversion and which concern disassembly and reassembly:
“In disassembly, each rear door is removed. Next, the rear-bumper assembly, hard top and Freedom Panels are removed, followed by the rear portion of the interior, which includes seats and carpeting. Exterior trim parts are removed and preserved; inner and outer body panels are removed by drilling out the spot welds, which allows the panels to fall away and avoids having to cut into the sheet metal. The rear sport bar is cut away and removed along with B-pillars.
Reassembly into a two-door pickup truck begins with installation of the B-pillars, cross member, floor-pan assembly (truck bed), and the inner and outer quarter panels (welding is involved in assembly). Next to be installed is the bulkhead reinforcement assembly and sport bar extensions, and finally the installation of the fiberglass bulkhead itself. The kit, with components delivered e-coated, is then prepped for paint. Windows are installed to the hard top, which is then installed on the vehicle. Exterior trim parts are then reinstalled.”
Mopar JK8 Body Weld Kit Complete (All parts are sold together in one complete kit)
Freedom Panels: Fiberglass panels over front seats.
Hardtop: Made from fiberglass, the hard top may be removed and features a sliding rear window.
Bulkhead: The bulkhead for the kit is made of fiberglass and separates the cab from the bed of the truck, and permanently attaches to the vehicle.
Bed: The spacious 44-inch by 50-inch bed features strong steel construction.
Inner/Outer Bed Panels: Bed panels are stamped sheet metal and provide durability and functionality.
Sport Bar Extensions: New sport bar extensions replace the rear portion of the sport bar that is removed for the conversion. These bars complement the structure of the vehicle.

It consists of a body formed from carbon fiber and aluminum. It is available in two versions, one is equipped with a small windshield divided into three sections, and a series of cameras around the vehicle (designed for safety), and the second model is equipped with windshield classic One glance, and it is well lit, with large lights on the ceiling.
The bottom of the HB is protected by shield panels to protect the drive train, passengers rocks and other potentially dangerous objects. The motor consists of a measure of the use of biofuels V6. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.
This project mix all types of uses that can be given to a vehicle of its characteristics (extreme security, off-road, etc.). And gives a nod to the future very important stylistic Hummer , which I urgently need this firm. The idea is excellent, as is its design. Ojala something very similar is true.

Our favorite of the pack is the basic model of the RSE TDV6 Signature Edition because it is a diesel and you get lots of mileage, and it is cheaper than the other, while thanks to extensive modifications not most people think of it as a fully fledged Kahn Range Rover with big supercharged engine! Especially as it comes at Project Kahn Acoustic supersound diagonal quad exhaust system.
