Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Interesting conversion, JK "pickup?"

I have to agree with most everyone else, I think it looks like crap too but love the idea of a jeep truck conversion. Still want to see the end product this guy puts out though, maybe he will clean it up, keep posting his pics.

I'm watching our local forums to see if he posts any good pics. Like others here, I agree, it looks rough now, but I'll reserve judgement until it's finished. I like the idea though.

Not a fan, no rear window at all. If I was going to do a JK truck, I would take a 4dr, remove the rear doors and fill the void with sheet metal, then put the back of the 'cab' behind the front seats. Basically just like the J8 concept

I wish EarthRoamer would sell their fill plates for the 4 door. I contacted them and they will not.

Also, I like these conversion better (TJ-LJ): ww.rubitrux.com

Too bad AEV does not make a roof for the JK.

It looks as though the cage is finished now.

My opinion is way to go dude!!!
Build it how you want it then wheel the sh!t outta it!!!!
And he does!
I was just out with this guy yesterday and I will tell you guys first hand it looks WAY better than the pictures that were showing it in progress, it looks absolutely wild...crazy, but wild! There is a video on youtube with him climbing a MONSTER hill covered in snow and ice, he's one of two that I saw make it up that day outta the lot of us...I won't direct link it, but check it out "EJC Newbie Run"
And to top it off I thought he was a super nice guy, we only chatted for a few moments but a down to earth honest dude...check his Jeep out again and see what you think, it really does look awesome, I love it.
