JK8 Conversion question
Is there a 4-door JK8 conversion kit out there? I've been thinking about doing the conversion, but i'd like to keep my JK a 4-door. I know a lot of people dont like the looks of a JK8, but i do SO PLEASE let me know what you think, and if you know of any links to places that sell this type of conversion kit.

I am no expert, but I am pretty sure the one you linked above is an AEV conversion. I.e. they extended the frame by 32" (?). Unless you have some serious equipment, that isn't possible without going to AEV. I don't know of any "kit" doing that. However, I am no expert.

That photo is indeed AEV's "Brute" conversion - best of my knowledge it isn't something they sell as a kit. I was lucky enough to see one in person at the New England International Auto Show (Boston) in January & I talked to one of the AEV Brand Representatives.
They don't actively sell them, but the cost on the window of that particular one was about $90K. Absolutely awesome, but 90K is of course a lot of money - he said at the time, that was the 5th one they'd done.

Ouch... thanks guys! It appears my dreams have been crushed. For now.... Ha-ha I just dont want to do the conversion kit that Mopar offers - I have to have a 4-door vehicle.
Maybe one day ill win the lottery and give AEV a call
