Default pickup conversion for a 2 door wrangler jk

hi everybody,

may i border you with a question?
i saw that there is a pickup conversion availible for the 4 door jk wich is offered by mopar.
now i am wondering if you can use some off the parts to convert a 2 door jk into a pickup.
does anybody know if the bulk head would fit on the short jk?
sorry if my english isn't perfect - i am from tyrol in austria.
thanks in advance

adi

Having seen this kit in person, I highly doubt it would work for a two door without MAJOR modification, including lengthening the frame.

Maybe talk with AEV about a custom job? They make a kit for the TJ and might have some ideas about making one for a 2 door JK.

Unrelated but my buddy instructs snowboarding offer there in Mayrhofen. From the pictures I've seen, it's beautiful country!

I've not seen one in real life, but I wonder if you can use just the roof/bulkhead on a 2 door, like the RubiTrux, kinda.

Avenger Superchargers makes a pickup-type conversion. Go out to their website and scroll to the pics on the bottom. That one has a cover over the bed, but I saw one that was open and bedlined not too long ago.

I saw the one from Avenger this year at the Hi Country 4x4 open house. It's pretty nicely done. It was the orange JK with the bed cover. If I remember correctly, the top and bulkhead was around $1500.
