Video: Watch the Mopar Team Turn a Jeep Wrangler into a Pickup Truck

As well as announcing the U.S. market launch of the JK-8 kit that carries a $5,499 sticker, Chrysler’s Mopar division also released a new time-lapse video that shows us a team of workers turning a four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited into a pickup truck with a small bed at the back.
According to Mopar Performance Team engineer, Steve Houtman, it took the four-man crew (or at least that’s our count of the number of people seen working on the Jeep) about an hour to complete the transformation using the JK-8 kit. Watch them in action for yourself in the clip after the break.

Jeep Prices New JK-8 Kit to Transform Wrangler Unlimited to a Pickup Truck at $5,499

Those of you that fancy turning your four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited into a two-door pickup truck will be happy to know that the firm’s much-talked about JK-8 Kit is available for order now through Mopar at Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram dealerships, with pricing set at $5,499.
However, Jeep does note that the JK-8 kit, which comes with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty, is for “skilled do-it-yourselfers”. For the less handy amongst us, the company said that the kit may be purchased and installed at a Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram dealership.

Email him at neilrowe@cox.net if you want to buy it. It's worth more in parts than as a 4 door car that not many people have interest in in my persepctive, but it's a sure entry into car cruises, car shows, Mopar events, and able to bring the whole family with you in 1970 comfort.

Power windows, power brakes, less than 10,000 miles on the rebuilt engine and trans (it's a car cruise and car show only car) cruise control, AM FM stereo cassette, HP exhaust manifolds, 4 barrel carb, comes with all the paperwork and brochures you expect with a show car.

1969 Mopar advertising art

The push button gear selector switch aka "typewriter transmission", inspired by Mayane

Above 1958 Plymouth Fury

the above is a Mercury... odd and cool

Notice that the Reverse would be lit up in red at night. And lastly, the Edsel as an honorable mention because it's not a Mopar like all the rest

Lincolncadillac says "Second from the bottom (ocer the Edsel is a Mercury 1957)" if you can translate that, let me know what the hell he's talking about.

The bottom photo is an Edsel, I photographed it myself, and could link to the entire gallery if it were necessary. I don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong, but this isn't one of those times I have more, but finding them in the last 7000 posts will take time
