Ok, I have bit the bullet.
I ordered the Mopar JK8 conversion kit.
It came in last Wednesday.

If you are not familiar with this, this is the one-way conversion kit from Mopar that. Turns a 4door Jeep Wrangler JK into a 2door pickup truck.
I am starting with a 2007 Jeep JK Sahara.

I am very excited for this build.
I am building it to sell.
I will post updated pics as I go along.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, Sam

Wow.. this is going to be INCREDIBLE! I don't know why Jeep hasn't pulled the trigger on this yet (though they are rumored to soon) but it is going to be cool having one close by!

Good luck and keep posting!
