Wow, that would be so cool!

So, in Rubicom form, that thing would be $40K+? I think I'd just buy a mini truck..


What's all the hate with the 3.8 engine? Seems like eveyone who doesn't own one hates em. Granted I wished it had more power, but it aint all that bad and gets a lot better mileage than the 4.0. Compared to my 22R, 202 HP feels like a rocket.

Oh, and 2012 is bringing a new engine, so I hear. New engine, and leather seats now? My JK just may be on the market soon...

I am not familiar withe the "Rubicom" package, but yeah, $40k for that would severely aggravate me. Scrambler half cabs are still out there.

Seems like pretty much ALL trucks are a million bucks lately. I rode around a bit today in a new Ram, it was ridiculous! DVD player, 48 jacks and plugs, a freakin' power sliding window? Seriously???? That's kinda how I feel about these new kits. Why not just sell a freakin' truck?

grr. Anyhoo, it's a solid kit. Took a look at it in Moab w/Kurt at EJS, was impressed with everything but the fact that it doesn't come like that from the factory already done.

I too was impressed, they actually built one in the parking lot in EJS for their vendor booth. While the workmanship of their install was parking lot quality it was a clean kit.

The 3.8 isn't terrible, but the new motor brings 285 hp, 5 speed auto, and 23 mpg.

now that's what I'm talkin about...

I love it. That's a cool kit.

That's perfect for the guy who wants a J8 without all the annoying coolness that goes with it.

 

[airmanwilliams]

dang thats nice. wish I could get a kit like that for my sami.

 

[rholbrook]

Based on the wheels, it makes wonder if this isn't a kit made by AEV.
