Jeep JK-8 Northern Edition Concept Launching at Toronto Auto Show
Jeep JK-8 Northern Edition Concept package turns a 2-door Pick-Up truck build.
If you want to create interest in a product, one of the best ways is to take it off the market. When Jeep built and sold its Wrangler-based CJ-8 Scrambler pickup, demand was, to be kind, modest. Last summer, they responded by introducing the Mopar Jeep JK-8 Northern Edition Concept package to convert a Wrangler Unlimited to a pickup. This kit formed the basis for the Blue Jacket that was recently delivered to Jay Leno. Now that Blue Jacket has its own show on the Discovery Channel (called Sons of Guns), we’re guessing that its budget for a shop truck is on the large size.
They should put a canopy over the back with side windows, a back seat and some really cool doors so people can climb in the back and paint the whole thing black. The Jeep JK-8 Northern Edition Concept brought to The Big Dog Garage seems to spare no expense in its build, ranging from the candy-apple-blue paint to the oversized brush guards and 17-inch bead-lock wheels. In 2011, Jeep (sort of) relented; launching the reasonably-priced Jeep JK-8 Northern Edition Concept package turns a 4-door Wrangler Unlimited into an ultra tough looking 2-door pick up.
Jeep JK-8 Northern Edition Concept starting at just $6,000, Mopar will sell you the pieces necessary to build your own modern Scrambler, but they won’t sell you a completed Jeep JK-8 Northern Edition Concept. Of course when the kit is installed on a Rubicon, the resulting truck has the mechanical prowess to back up the look. It’s clear that VWerks takes great pride in what it produces, which speaks well about the conversion kits you can buy at your local Jeep dealer.
