...I have to say CP for this.
A Jeep dealer near me is selling a couple of these converted Wrangler trucks. I've always loved Jeep trucks whether it's the J-series, CJ-8 Scrambler, or the Comanche. I've been hoping Jeep would build a pickup off of the Wrangler for years.
And it even has a manual gearbox. What could be better?
So, what are they asking for it? $57,999. Ouch. That's Raptor territory, and as much as I dig this thing, I'd absolutely have a Raptor first. Also, I know this thing has been sitting on their lot for over a year now.

That is a very factory looking conversion, never seen a Jeep conversion like that.

I'm pretty sure it's the Mopar conversion kit, costs about $6k.
They have a yellow one at this same dealership for $59,999. I just can't see spending that much money for one.

If it had an Overland Cherokee interior and a Hemi, maybe NP. But that is way overpriced.

Yeah, that's definitely CP for one that's only the JK8 conversion with different wheels.
Here's one on eBay for just under $60K that has a lot more added to it, although it's an automatic.

The local Jeep dealer had one a few months back. I had to find otu about it so I did.
Mopar sells the kit to any Jeep owner for $6750... but the dealer decided to buy it and convert one themselves, then sell it for a ridiculous amount, as this nearly $60,000 example shows.
They are doing that a lot lately becuase apparently the conversion is simple and people were "buying them up." So, its a good profit for the dealers and the owner gets a one of a kind Jeep.

Does it also have the Hemi conversion? That is what usually raised the price that high.
No hemi then yea CP buy a Jeep pay 6000 for the kit and it your self but that would still put you close to 40k depending how you spec the jeep from new. Jeeps aren't very cheep from the get go unless you get a very base model.
and since that is a Rubicon it would have a 35k base most likely so yea don't think there is 19,000 in labor in that, sigh.

No, it's just the 3.6 V6.
