There is no reason for it to cost more than a jk but it would never meet safety regs. having said that there is no reason that the existing jk could not be made as a pick up on the unlimited, get rid of the back doors make a flat bed and put that black soft top on it. should even be lighter and cheaper than the unlimited. I would certainly get one but i have no interest in the 4 dr jeep.

It really is the same design as the unlimited and I would think cost should only be at a slight premium if they were factory built and sold on the same lots as other Jeeps.

I would love the extra space for haulin stuff around that is for sure.

Is it just me, or do those J8's have even more room in the wheel wells than stock JK's?

It should cost no more than the other JKs. Maybe a couple grand more to run it as a special edition like the Willys special edition TJ or the Tomb Raider TJ.

I wouldn't pay any more for that then I did my JK.

There would surely be a premium for the axels. probably in the order of 8-10K. premium for the diesel 5-8K maybe a small deletion in price for the pickup/leaf springs. but probably not. I would expect them to sticker at 45-48K. That would be a bit much for me to turn into a trail rig.

I don't care for a diesel so they could keep it anyway. If they make a 2dr long wheelbase with the hemi (like an LJ) I will be the first person in line with cash in hand.

Shipping is a round $2,200.00, for J8 around #27,000, To get true Cost. Just Goggle it.
