Default 2012 JK8 $65,000... Really??
Can't believe how much dealerships are trying to sell JK8's for. This one was at my local dealership for $65,499 !!! And that is on sale!! Yeah they look cool but you don't even have 4 doors, no back cover... Why so expensive?

Isn't it basically a kit car? They have to tear apart an unlimited and the install the JK8 kit. Sweet looking rig though. Then you compare the AEV modified 4 dr and it's about the same price.

If they sell a cover to go over the bed to make it look like a 4 door with only 2 doors that would be cool butttt idk about spending 65,000 on anything that says Jeep on it.

I've seen some that are really cool, but this one doesn't do it for me. Needs more lift, bigger tires...those look like 33's, smaller wheels and better looking wheels. And...a hemi for me to think $65k is worth it.

An unlimited Rubicon is already pricey. Now add lift and tires, then JK-8 kit and all the time/$ associated with installing. Crazy. I wouldnt spend that for 2 seats.

They're not making much at $65k. Kit is dumb expensive to actually get installed on it. Then lift/wheels/tires.

For that kind of money you can buy a real pickup which actually has usable bed space and can tow

That is rediculous! But you know there is someone out there who knows nothing aside from "wow, that looks cool! And according to the price tag it must be the best jeep out there" and theyre going to buy it.

True, but you have to admit that does look cool and say "I'm different". I would never spend that kind of money for it, just saying it does look nice!
