Anyone have any first hand experience looking at, building or using a mopar jk-8 conversion? I've got a friend that's considering it!

What do you want to know about it? The dealership my wife works at built one, and sold it to Kelly Clarkson. It was a very nice kit.

 

He wanted to know how complicated the build would be. Should any dealer with a body shop be up for the job? Did your dealership do the bolt on or weld on version? I've heard the kit is sorely lacking on interior details. I read that in a JP article.
I also wanted to know what jeep recommends for bed payload capacity.

 

That shouldn't change from the specs in the original owner's manual.

 

Not sure, but I will find out for you.

 

X2. It should be the same, and the gvw should stay the same as well.

 

Kelly Clarkson drives a jk8...I'm jelly

 

Just wait a bit and order one new. They are having discussions on offering it completely built from the factory.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Yeah, it's red. The only thing I didn't like was they color matched the front bumper.
