JK Trucklet - $55K.....you've got to be kidding me
Ok I haven't been on this site since I traded my JK for a Challenger SRT-8 but after driving by this today I had to take some pics.
I have to say for this much cabbage I'd prefer the true AEV Brute conversion over this. The bed looks like someone dumped a couple of gallons of bed armor coating in it. And apologies to whomever is running these BMF rims on their JK but they are really redneck/ghetto on this green JK.
And finally it's a lame auto, non rubicon, non MyGig, non leather. etc.....

The dealer site has pics as well but here are some more from my cell:

I really like the JK8 conversions, it would be the only way I would ever consider a JKU that is for certain. But I would have to build it myself, and I would, because I would enjoy the project and the sense of accomplishment. But more importantly it would cost a hell of a lot less to do it myself. That price is insane IMHO.
Yeah, the wheels are crap too. Thanks for the pics!!!

For comparison.....AEV Brute Kit $8995 and awesome new JK Double Cab Brute....likely north of $75K if it has the Hemi....C/D tested one near $100K last year.

People have lost their effin' minds if they're paying $20-30k just for that conversion. I could see buying a well-used JKU then doing the conversion yourself in your garage. It'd make for a pretty kick ass trail rig. But taking a brand new JKU, chopping it up, and adding $20-30k to the sticker price!?
