As I see the JK-8 conversion from Mopar as a TOTAL failure on Chrysler's part to meet market demand for a REAL JK pickup, what do you think of this idea? This is a pretty crappy photoshop of an old picture of my former JK, but you will get the idea. I have been mulling it over for quite some time now and think this is really do-able. Is it marketable? How much do you think the modification would be worth as a complete conversion?

Uhhh, departure angle would suck bigtime. Plus it's ugly, to me anyway.

I feel the same

I agree, but would soccer mom's buy it? (That's what Jeep would be asking)

I think it's a cool concept, but I personally don't like them. They just look funky to me. A jeep is a jeep....

Yeah, not sure about that one, and besides what would you haul in it? I think a second truck or a trailer are a Jeepers best bet.

I am sure Jeep would love to enter the pickup market, but there is a reason why. The same reason why a bull mastiff and yorki should not have puppies.

I think some adjustments would make it buzz, but i think the price would get too high. Plus the "half a truck" market is tricky anyway. The explorer sport / colorado have always had me wondering, why not get a real truck!!

For me id want the following in 4 DR JKU Truck.

10,500lbs tow rating...If you wanna play in the Truck market you got get something much better than 3500#.

LIFT It has to be much higher to get some reasonable break over angles back and aesthetics

Reclining rear seats. Once you've been offshore for 2 days and then in the back of a Tundra Crexman, you'll understand

Integrated front winch - See Ram Power Wagon

just some thoughts...i am on my first jeep and my only complaints are those above

Make it amphibious and I am in as well.....
