2012 JKU - What should I do with this? Camper? or 1/2 Cab? So Many Choices...help!

[wheelie]

Recently ran across this JKU, couldn't pass it up.

120k, runs perfect.

Previous owner decided to see if the JK could do a gymnastics routine. NOPE!

I have owned a few SMB's & current projects include remodeling 2 Tiger CX's.


Anyone have any big ideas that they would like to share?

More than likely I would just enclose this to a 1/2 cab and use it as a daily beater.


Thoughts:

* Pick up style, with a roof top tent mount.
* Find pop up to fit in the bed?
* Flatbed the thing and mount a camper.
* Cut & Modify an old Wildernest?
* Cut up and re-work a Flippac?

Flat bedding it would leave you with a damn short flat bed. However a pop top would be awesome if there was a way to make it work while still keeping it a "jeep" or at least jeep ish.

Call Jessie at Rubitrux in Boone, NC and get a flat floor kit and ask about their beach buggy too.

Great looking project! Great color too

A jeep buddy bought it from the original owner. Had liability coverage only. I purchased I t from him. (He's a dealer)
Paid a little more than I wanted to, but all within budget. And to have a 12 JKU for what I have into it.....is a rarity.

I change my vote, that ActionTruck makes my pants tighten

keep those freedom panels! You might be able craft a j8 style roll bar by taking a 2-door roll bar back half and marrying it to a JKUR roll bar front half

That's exactly what I am looking for. Trying to locate Jk 2dr to use the parts.
My B-pillars are a little tweaked, so this is more than likely the path I will take with it.

JK & JKU parts forward of the B-pillar are identical.
