It's amazing how versatile the JK platform has turned out to be.  It may actually be the most customizable Jeep ever.

Well, yes, if you take the body and put it on a Power Wagon frame, it can be considered versatile.  :lol:

who's buying these things? - they're way overpriced (compared to similar vehicles i mean, not what it costs to make them).

I didn't realize it was on another frame.  In any case, the extra length of the JK makes it possible to do things with it that would take a lot of work (frame and body stretch) to do with  earlier Jeeps.

I don't think you'd want to use a JK as a 5th wheel puller which was the reason for going with a new frame and 3/4 or 1T running gear.

What about a military JK (J8) with the rear D60?
