man, as much as i love the look of the jk8, chrysler would have to make some serious improvement to the kit as a whole before i bought one. after seeing one built in person, i have to say that i'm a little disappointed in what you really get.

most of these jk's are in the tens of thousands when it comes to mods.

i posted up a few more pics after you made this post and i hope you saw them

yep, that's what it was.

 

Thats really unfortunate :/

I am a long time Jeep Truck Lover (Love my J10), and would really like a new one. I actually prefer the approach that AEV took with their new Brute (only in a single cab config). But if its priced like the previous Brute, I doubt I could afford it.

 

yeah, gotta love toyo's - they've always served us well

LOL!! those aren't wheel chocks but rather, name placards telling people what the tire make is.

yup, they are nemesis

LOL!! hottest is totally subjective

i believe they are rugged ridge steel wheels

porkchop had purejeep prototype flares

 

Hey Eddie don't you just love the way Vegas price gouge the hotels fee's when some things are going on in Vegas, Hell Vegas can have a spitting contest and they triple the rates, we stayed at Arizona Charlie

 

they looked to me like custom welded seat mounts. however, mastercraft makes a rear seat bracket that allows you to attach their racing seats to it. we have this in our white JK.

don't know if you saw them already or not but, i posted up a a few earlier in this thread.

the bumper you see is a modified version of their stubby bumper.

you and me both!!

no, i don't think they do.

the prorock 80 is seriously bad ass and, the rugged ridge snorkel can be run low profile as you see it and with a taller intake tube.

4" lift with 37's

yeah, it ain't cheap but, it worked surpisingly well.

hutchinson beadlock wheels

unfortunately, no, not that i saw anyway.

 

the ARB was sitting on their new 4" lift and running 37's

i'll post up some detailed pics of this shortly

yes, it was and i'm pretty sure i took some pics of it. i'll try to post it up shortly

yes and, i believe there was another member who answered the question regarding the seats correctly - they are military mastercrafts.

i don't know for sure but, i was assured they are available for sale.

what jkoperator said - it's long but, not so much so that it wouldn't fit in the same lines as a tacoma double cab.

awe man, sorry we missed you.

i believe it was made by warn

expedition one

 

hey, it was a real pleasure meeting you too and i hope we can get some wheeling in together next summer

it really is especially being that i so wanted to like it. again, i still love the look but, the kit or a finished verison of it would need some improvements to the bulkhead (it's fiberglass), roll bar (needs improvements to the connections or needs to be welded) and deck of the bed before i would consider one (way too thin and flimsy).

that's why we stayed out in henderson this year.

 

Okay, I know there were a few requests regarding the Rugged Ridge windshield light bar so, here are a couple more pics of it...




Here are a few shots of their snorkel with extension too...






Forgot to post these up earlier but, Truck-Lites also had some new rock lights...




While this isn't anything new per se, the Advanced Adapters replacement t-case shifter cable is something I think a lot of people would want - no more cheap plastic bushings to break...

 

For those of you wanting to know how the plumbing worked on the Rugged Ridge snorkel, this is what it looks like out of a JK and standing on its own...

 

King had a pretty cool internal bypass shock on display in the new products isle...




And, one of the wackiest things we at the show was this thing...


Here's a shot of the flier attached to it...
