Every little bit counts but it's really not necessary for this build at the moment...although I would agree it would look cool.

That's not in the original plan as we want to keep the weight down. Final interior treatment has not been decided upon.

...and more...enjoy

Coming together Got a few more pics to show interior storage solutions nearing completion.

That black cylinder is a 1.6 gallon heat exchange hot water heater. After the installation is complete, it will be fully concealed (and accessible), protected by a metal shroud. It will be heated by engine coolant. The cold water tank will be a 13.2 gallon collapsible unit. Total on board water...

Stage 1 & 2 We just got started with the storage solutions. Here we are showing the unfinished Stage 1 drawer and Stage 2 compartment being test fit.

Here is another article reference for the same announcement http://www.fastlaneresearch.com/jeep_pickup_on_the_way.html They really are not saying much

All your questions about getting a J8 in the US can be answered by AEV http://www.aev-conversions.com/index.php

Our thought process exactly.

J8 battery replacement The J8 battery configuration from the factory is a pair of 95 AH batteries linked to a 24 VDC inverter to supply power to mil spec radios & other equipment. The two batteries are necessary to supply the 50 amp current draw that the glow plugs pull upon starting the VM 2.8...

Not a bad idea one we get into production. We like that it is not necessary to remove the Gearsafe to access the tire and that the opening for the Gearsafe is not visible when the door is closed, characteristics that the G-wagen concept does not share.

The Gearsafe lock is weatherproof but the unit itself is not waterproof. It does have a drain hole in the bottom though Stay tuned for above wheel well storage ;) The Gearsafe does have a 3rd brake light provision, we just did not add it because the J8 has none. Since the Gearsafe is...

Rear seat modification In order to separate the rear seat and create the 3rd "Fixer" seat as we like to call it, a bracket needed to be fabricated to support the seat pivot and create a new seat belt mount. The bracket still allows for full fold down functionality of the seat and provides the...

We'll have some more pictures in another week. Production could commence soon after Hollister. For now, I refer you to this thread about the J8 conversion that will feature many of the solutions we will be offering that are designed to work in harmony with the Habitat top...

The primary objectives that were laid out for the J8 Habitat conversion are to create a utilitarian set of solutions to storage, water containment, sleeping arrangements, food preservation, cooking and power. All of the solutions that we have created will apply to any JK unlimited. All of the...

1. At least 20 that would be willing to put down a deposit 2. Determined by interest in #1 3. $25-30K +/- because the R&D of #1 still has to happen first Data? How many LJ's were built? How many in the hands of enthusiasts? The universe of JK owners is without a doubt larger than that of the...
