The fact that they're making them is a good start, wouldn't take much to make it available to all, just enough demand. I think it's a great setup. I wonder if it has a D44 front and lockers and the Rubi transfer case and disco? I saw a price of $35K in one of the Jeep mags. Not too bad if it has all the options.

Diesel, Dana 60.... DC needs to test this concept here in the U.S. . I am sure they would find a market.

Default In a Heartbeat

Yep that is a sweet ride. I'd sell my Unlimited in a heartbeat for it.

Found this. Looks cool, they're making it, they're doing press on it, but as Chrysler rep says, We ain't getting it.
Direct link won't work for some reason. Link to Jeep is around the middle of the page.

Good find. I like that VW thing at the top of the page to. I see in the video it does have a front D44, so I'm guessing it has lockers as well.

Default J8 Kit

If they will not release the J8 in the US, at least they could have MOPAR accessories offer the parts so we could put it together ourselves much like an AEV Brute kit.

And if they offered the bulkhead and cab from the JT they would have a winner.
