There's 5 of them right now on eBay for quite a bit less.

I've never been too crazy about these, let alone especially at the inflated cost

How do the dealers get these? Aren't they only available in volumes to fleets?

No, you can build it with a kit. My local dealer does it and sells them for 55k a pop.

That looks like the same exact JK8 that was at a Jeep dealership here. Is it online? I'd like to track where it came from.

The same wheels/tires and pretty much the same price as what they had it for here.

I will try to PM you the dealer info. They have it on their web sight. I would not be surprised if there is a third party that does the conversion from a 4 door to the JK8 prior to it being delivered to the dealer. It could be a "package" that they spec out for the conversion. It had an aftermarket front bumper, a smitty winch, wheels tires, and i think a 2" lift (don't remember brand). One thing I noticed was that the back of the cab/front of the bed appeared to be fiberglass. That would concern me from a durability stand point.
