Mopar Debuts a Jeep Pickup Truck You Can Build Yourself

[daddy]

Unless I am missing something, it sure looks like there's welding and bodywork involved.

Mopar hasn't announced pricing for the Jeep JK-8 Independence conversion kit, but there will be two versions: a bolt-on kit can be installed without any welding in your driveway and a full kit that Mopar dealers will sell, like the JK-8 pictured.

I figured it was.. but article says different

I just don't understand how the rear doors could be filled in with the bolt-in panels and yet there are no gaps or seams. I don't buy that this is what the vehicle really looks like with the kit installed.

See... No seams.

Unless, the entire rear half of each side gets replaced. I suppose that might be the case. If so, good call on their part.

I like it. Except it says it has KM2's. Those tires look like General Grapper's to me.

If you watch the vid they say General Grapplers

Looks cool. A company offered a kit like that for the TJ's. It was called the Summit.

I like the TJ a little better

Since they said there are two versions, my guess is that they're demoing the more expensive, "breakout your welding gear" version..
