Rancho/Dynomax Project JK-8
Soon after getting back from the JK Experience Rocky Mountain Run, Rancho / Dynomax dropped off their Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited over at Off Road Evolution and, with the purpose of converting it into an awesome JK-8! And, for those of you are interested, we'll be following its transformation and posting up pics of it here 
The Rancho/Dynomax Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited partially stripped down and, being dropped off at Off Road Evolution...
Surprisingly, everything you need for this kit comes in this big wooden box...
Unloading the box - here's a few of the major components that'll make this JK into a JK-8...
Shot of the new bed that will make this JK into a pickup truck...
Gutting the inside of the JK before getting to work on hacking the body up...
Time to locate and mark off all the spot welds securing the body panels onto the tub - man, there are a TON of them too...
Drilling out the spot welds one at a time - what a PITA job this is...
Rear quarter panels almost ready to be removed...
Rear quarter panel off the body...
Time to start hacking off the roll bars...
Starting to look more and more like a pickup...
Removing more of the sub-structure of the body...
And, starting to chop down the B-Pillar...
Not a whole lot left of the old JK Unlimited...
This is about where we ended up on Friday. We'll be sure to take more photos and post them up as they become available so please check back soon.
