If it's a Fleet vehicle, then you might be able to get a J8 ordered.

wouldn't it be nice to get a couple j8's ordered through the squad and turn around and buy them off the squad?

And in California  :whistle:
Those are CUCV 1008 Civilian Utility Combat Vehicle's.  That's a 1.25T GMC.  The problem being that those are WIDE axles. Not to mention the front D60 is passenger side drop.

 There's a top you can get to put on the Unlimited to make it look like a "Brute" .... kinda.

That's just a good reason to upgrade to a Twin stick'd D300.

Too bad it's only available for TJ's.  I wouldn't mind having one for my YJ.  CJ-8 half-cabs are getting hard to come by.

Then I'd have to swap the transmission and then figure out how to get the VSS signal.  Not to mention, I'd rather not have a D300.

Ah, cool!  It looks like you're right!

Hmm, that CJ body from Aguala with the truck bed looks interesting.  You could make your own Brute that way.  Still have to stretch the frame though.

Hmm, I do like the smooth look better.  The only problem I see is figuring out how to do a cage.  I also wish I had a longer tub like the Unlimited.  The mini bed on a SWB looks weird.

Two separate cages, one inside/one out, my buddy did it on his scrambler.
