So apparently for the right money, you can have anything you want. I'll have to admit, this thing is cool!!!

I like it.

Starting at $40k and goes up. Obviously JK not included. Maybe one day I'll win the lottery.

I have legit thought about buying the front clip for my JK. There are a few different ones out there. But know a guy that builds that out of steel. But then I remember that I should not spend thousands of dollars on a front clip.

Nice looking truck, but is severely lacking in rocker protection.

Interesting they "offer" the 2.8 diesel and not the 3.0 Cummins repower. Probably because of cost.

[fulsizjeep]

I dunno. Just not feeling it.

The R2.8 is 50 state legal and is a nice quiet diesel. 3BT’s are obnoxiously loud and vibrate like crazy.

But in 7 months you can buy a factory built Jeep truck with a 3.0 EcoDiesel. So this thing will be moot.

I agree. It's 95% bolt-on BS with the only actual value-added components being the "custom" bed and frame extension.

I haven't had my camera ready at the right moment, but the Jeep trucks are running all over out here right now, with their goofy full-car covers and michigan manufacturer's plates. On a barely related note, they're getting craftier and craftier with that camo too. There was one off of 285 halfway to conifer pulled over. They had stuck a bunch of styrafoam blocks between the cover and the body to change the shape of the car. I guess one of the blocks came loose because they had to pull over at the fire station, take the car cover off the front clip (how I saw it and knew what it was) and duct tape it back down. I turned around at the next exit to go back, but saw them coming down the highway before I got back to the fire station. On this second look, I was able to see that the zebra stripes had the Ram logo as part of it's pattern, despite being on a Jeep.

I think I was talking about the 3.0 eco? Or maybe not. Is the 3.0 repower offered by banks based on the ecodiesel or a 3bt? I thought it was the eco?

Tell them to come down to the springs... I need one!!

If I could ever catch the suckers I'd tell them all kinds of things, haha! I can't even get a pic, let alone shout something unintelligible loud enough to make them look.

Seriously though, they are all over out here. My parents live in Bailey, so I mainly see them on the two lanes, but I've also caught them around town, probably averaging once a week but often in clusters. Earlier this summer I spotted a group of 5 (2-3 trucks, and some not trucks) surrounded by a herd of other un-camouflaged FCA vehicles with MI manufacturer plates. I like to think it was the group that ran the Rubicon that just hit the news a few weeks ago. Most recent was last Thursday at 44th&Ward. I was pulling out of the Edward's Meats parking lot (stocking up for the weekend) and "Gosh darn it! Another missed pic!".

I really wish I'd gotten that one though. I can only assume it was the Jeep truck because of the size, but it may have been a different smaller-than-a-full-size truck. It was just a quick glance as I was turning into traffic when I saw it, but the windshield seemed too raked for a Jeep. I need to get a dash cam!

[ShagWagon]

I would drive it!

Looks like they don't even drive it!

[az chip]

They are here in Arizona. But mostly large trucks pulling calibrated loads up and down grades.

Ahh, that’s not a Cummins. It’s a VM Motori, which is the EcoDiesel that FCA uses.

Oops. You are correct and I'm going to sit in the corner and try and figure out how I screwed that up so bad.

What?!

$40k for a conversion kit?

For that kind of money I'd expect the hood to fit the grill.
