Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JK8 Conversion

2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JK8 conversion - 4 door jeep into a 2 door truck. The conversion was done by Washington Auto Collision in Spokane Valley, WA. This video shows a quick view of what it took to make the conversion, over a period of 3 weeks work. Learn more at your local Midway Jeep dealer in Post Falls, ID.

A tremendous amount of skills and effort. Well Done! I can't help but to think 'what if' Jeep had just built the Scrambler in the first place!

[@firepwr21]

Again.......

[@NigelsModellingBench]

What a joy to watch!! Sooo m uch attention to detail!! I wish the shop that repaired my Mustang were as thorough as you guys!!

[@bobwright3438]

Great Job Guys thanks for the video, ignore the Idiots who don't like Jeeps.

[@BIGMOE87]

What a nice work you got there sir I love it 😁👍👌

[@derrinpickett9948]

There's one of these in my hometown that is driven by a Veterinarian. Rubicon + Scrambler = Rambler

[@born68]

It's crazy how fast these guys are working. so you are tellin me there is a body shop out there that can totally customize my vehicle and have it done before I get off my lunch break.

[@travelwithjeep4798]

Great job boys🔥🔥🔥

[@Iflagum]

Great job. Should be coming to a Jeep dealer near you but probably not.

[@70scarresstoguy]

Kind of disappointed that they didn't spray weld through primer on the bare metal surfaces of the new quarter panel skins before spot welding them in place.

[@christianrodriguez7478]

Nice work there

[@Jordiever]

Great job!!! but: - is there a liner for the box? - where are the speakers?

[@borsanablues8243]

Good job...! Bellissima ! Very nice !

[@dt9094]

Outstanding Gentlemen

[@YouStupidBunny]

Good to know I can drop a Jeep off for conversion and pick it up after lunch.

[@patrolmaverick]

What's the timeframe for the build? The description says over a period of 3 weeks. Is that working on it all day 5-6 days per week for 3 weeks? I love the end result.

[@christoffer1973]

Nice work. dear to be diferent, looks great with that color. not meny build whit that color.

[@jwhisky4128]

Can you still use the factory hard top as trunk bed cap??

[@mikebyxbe4756]

I think its Bad Ass!!! Great job guys.... don't pay any attention to all those haters...

[@BADER7]

والله ماقول الا ياحض راعيه والله الواحد يطمع فيه الله كريم

[@RaSeL]

I love everything about your car , except the color , if you change the color to something special like Dark purple or Hydro Blue or Orange or Yellow , it's going to looks so nice! keep it up!

[@talaxee1]

beautiful

[@anthonygallo3576]

I love it!!!!.im a 3 time jeep owner who had to go jk in 2008 because i has small kids.now there vrown and no way i want the new jeep truck this is perfect!!!. Would like.to.see.it linex with perhaps a hummer front.if.it.wasnt so dam expensive i do one up.scre all the naysayers,great job

[@ashrafthurakkal3577]

mad job

[@Globbs]

What does this cost for labor on top of the $5,500 for the kit? I'm looking in to having this done to a wrecked Rubicon with rear end damage.

[@ggvbeer4339]

hi there .... how much weight can the chassis and suspension bear ??

[@flex93312]

That's when you know you've got a lot of money.

[@agentanderson1383]

cant you unbolt the body from frame?

[@MrBubinski777]

what did it sell for?

[@emmanuelonye6794]

superb.

[@chrisw46360]

pretty sure if i needed to haul something with my jeep i would just back up to the old trailer and hook'er up. you could buy a house for what that would cost. but i guess if money is no object, then go for it. nice work by the way

[@fishpony1211]

Awesome work! Turned out great but was painful to watch the jeep being cut to pieces.

[@MrAnthonyaspk]

Incredible! Why not just offer it from the factory??

[@trinkladd]

Love all the haters comments. This is badass! It looks cool and why not. Four door jeeps are useless. To heavy, not good for four wheeling, gas mileage sucks. And ride just as rough as my yj. I own both. But not four door. People just want a jeep to say they own one. I would do. This to mine in a heartbeat!

[@ryan2stix]

Now you have a ``truck`` without the towing or carry ability of an actual truck.. sweet

[@calebwinther3931]

ryan2stix Who said you can’t tow

[@calebwinther3931]

Or carry

[@MrMesluk]

What's the box size?

[@FORANEOS01]

Nice work indeed...but why?

[@DENMONKEY]

exactly what i was thinking. Could have just got the 2 door and lifted the rear seats out ????

[@Bailey_54R]

DENMONKEY the door is longer

[@Bailey_54R]

Bailey O. *4 door

[@Warhorse469]

+Josetxo Olaizola the real question is why not ?

[@bobwright3438]

+Josetxo Olaizola Because you would own a unique Jeep.

[@benjaminmasters5375]

great idea, ignore the haters, i think its brilliant, except i have 2 questions: how much did something like this cost? and is it still street legal since you changed it so much from the factory vehicle?

[@Dadstamps]

Since it looks like they keep all the support pillars emissions and properly relocated the roll cage framing it should still pass the test

[@Dadstamps]

It also looks like the material they took off is replace with about the same "stuff" the ride would be about the same

[@benjaminmasters5375]

what?

[@bryceboland6904]

it's still street legal and the kit is 9500 dollars

[@chadgdry3938]

nice

[@germany6770]

😍😍😍

[@butch93105]

AEV did it right with the Brute. This is beautiful but limited.

[@jerrywhitener1708]

Hey jeep is come out this new year with a jeep truck

[@artardFTW]

that's a pretty sidewalk princess...

[@emmanuelonye6794]

super.

[@flex93312]

Very nice.. but why not just buy a Scrambler and update the motor and mechanics? Just a thought.

[@victordominguez107]

Price to conversion? , please thanks

[@DJCallitquits]

Victor Dominguez you figure the kit is around $9k. Probably $5500-$6500 in labor. I don’t think it’s a dealer option.More of a dealer plug where it was purchased. If you never saw the video you would swear it was factory. You know you have money when you buy a brand new rubi’ and drop it off to get converted! Nice work! Very nice.

[@user-uo5xe4pd5z]

ابداع مو هين الشايب

[@JRMSweeps]

put a mad lift and some big ole honkin' mud tires on it..that would set it off...

[@lrcb40]

If this is so good, how come Jeep don't make it at the factory? You spend all that money on a top line Wrangler, then more to take and throw away stuff so it becomes...a pickup with less people space? Makes no sense...

[@bobwright3438]

+Andrew Nichols You have to be a Jeep Owner to understand. I love it and it looks great!!

[@SpartanWolf-dc4jd]

Sometimes 2 seat don't do well in market

[@peoplesrepublicofliberland5606]

A modern scrambler

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

I bought an ugly but functional utility trailer for $100.00. This project is all about making the owner happy which is fine although it isn’t very practical.

[@A7med3bdelmo3m]

ابعتهالى بقى ولك الشكر / اخوك مصرى ومحتاجها

[@tooshort3515]

looks awesome just needs a bigger lift and 37's and metal cloak the shit out of it

[@spartanlegit1]

I like the brute more

[@PizzamanCobra]

I Want.

[@noname-lv6oy]

👍😋👌

[@davshores1155]

I took my back seat out...price???...free

[@Katojones21]

Nice job ! too much work envolved.I'd just go get a f 150 and have both.

[@christophercaprio4983]

And $100,000 and 6 years have passed, and now you can buy one new for $45,000.

[@romex66]

Oh my god, NO! Poor Jeep :D

[@musaeric4421]

its reverting watching this conversion but the music is boring wish they had chosen a better music

[@TomasAWalker53]

Too many shop hours at ??$$$$$ per hour. Price would eliminate a lot of us. YuppyMobile.

[@jaywest4102]

For the price of the conversion the owner could have gone out and bought a real pickup with real towing and hauling capabilities. And still had the original jeep.

[@jeckle78]

Wouldnt give 12 cents for that sheet

[@TOW2012]

Cool. No doubt. BUT......whyyyyyyyyyyyy oh why why why why why why why !!!!!!!!!

[@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

looks like shit

[@brandowill_i_am]

Agreed

[@UndercoverPOP92]

thats messed up lmfao at least that person happy

[@harleyjune1233]

beautiful - and i get it - sort of - but why not just go buy a truck - I am jeeper for years (35 now and counting) and this conversion is just so baffling to me... buy a trailer for what 1/10 the cost or less or even still remove top and take rear seats out - 15 secs out -2 mins in- - but hey your money - your choice i say -

[@MrClarkisgod]

OR you can just buy a Comanche??? I mean, Jeep made a truck for this reason.

[@Dino30ish]

I would still rather have the Brute or the Double Cab Brute ...... A truck should have a separate bed ..............

[@jeadelmann90]

Norman Murray ever heard of a blazer...

[@Dino30ish]

Yes I have , But a Blazer is not a Jeep ............ And they are trying to build a Jeep Truck ............... So a Blazer is not even in this conversation ........

[@jeadelmann90]

Norman Murray But a blazer essentially has its bed integrated into the cab... and guess what it's a truck... of course the Blazer doesn't have a partition between the front and aft section of the vehicle but in principle because of the bed integration these two vehicles are similar... the real problem with this jeep is the roof and the portion of the roof aft of the doors... those port holes are hideous and to be honest that section shouldn't extend back so far... this truck would look pretty cool in it's open top configuration...

[@Dino30ish]

Your missing the point of my post ............... I DO NOT LIKE IT .................... Also the Blazer and Bronco , I do not like .neither of which are a "Turck" they are SUV's .The Silverado / F150 are trucks ... Just because is has a body on chassis design does not make it a truck ... .. A truck has a separate bed / cab ....However the AEV BRUTE and BRUTE Double Cab are both Jeep TRUCKS ....... This is not .... ........

[@jeadelmann90]

Your confusing pickup with "truck"... they are absolutely not the same thing... if form factor is the underlying basis of your logic then your mistaken... ever heard of a delivery truck... UPS... USPS... Suburban Excursion they are both trucks... albeit it the Suburban is built on a half ton chassis and the Excursion is built on a 3/4 ton chassis... There are many facets to consider... Does the vehicle have a body on frame design... Is the frame fully boxed... What kind of Rear diff does it have Does it have solid axels or an independent setup... I think the examples of SUVs that you gave are poor... because technically they are both trucks... but really the classification gets pretty murky... But back to the point... it's great that you don't like this particular vehicle and I applaud you for having an opinion... Here's mine... the Brute's second door looks silly... it shouldn't be taking that diagonal line the way it is... they should have made it more similar to the front door... The bed/box looks ridiculous and in many ways breaks the lines on the vehicle... in fact it's too dissimilar from the front portion of the vehicle in esthetic... so it really doesn't look too good... Of course it's silly to ponder over the design esthetic of a utilitarian vehicle... it's appearance shouldn't really matter too much... Utility should really be its measure of worth... With the jeep in the video the only mistake they made was with the design of the roof... the bed/aft portion of the vehicle is nicely integrated... It reminds me of some of the Land Rovers of yore that had a similar set up... I will say this much though AEV seems like they can make a pretty capable machine... I think it looks pretty stupid but I wouldn't say no to one with a HEMI under the bonnet.

[@mrMacGoover]

bad filming angle

[@Kamabushi999]

This is what I expected from Jeep for a truck. Instead what they came out with sucks IMO.

[@cutter1777]

brute kit is much cooler :)

[@cslavin4643]

chuck rodriguez also $80,000 :)

[@MrMrsregor]

or, just find a 2005 JEEP GLADIATOR for less money than this 2013 wrangler.

[@maxchartier]

MrMrsregor lol where? there was only one.

[@MrMrsregor]

Evil Max Loves Cats oh, that is funny, my bad. a few years ago i saw a jeep pick truck in NC at a car lot for sale and when i googled it i saw that truck, so i thought they were in production. what did i see then? was it a custom jeep truck like this?

[@jeckle78]

Waist of a good jeep with a bad paint color

[@wilburpost7977]

Waste; not waist

[@trinkladd]

Your crazy! To have a one off jeep. This thing is bad ass. Besides 4 doors are not jeeps! They're useless. And the color that's a personal preference. You prob think the Suzuki sidekick is cool. GTFOH

[@swarajsandhu]

as if it wasnt shitty enough!

[@leus]

A shit ton of work to make it look like a ton of shit :-)

[@archaiccycleworks2316]

????why not just buy a smaller truck and lift it?wouldn't that be more cost effective????lol!

[@direfoxvideos]

Its just like an AEV Brute!... except really horrible.

[@TheTracatraca]

They just fucked up a jeep..!!

[@asimjanjua12]

But why?? Dumbest idea, jut buy pick up truck in half price lol

[@Joe11Blue]

Nope

[@giacomomarsilio8314]

Sto tizio non capisce un c......o

[@turn-n-burn1421]

Nope, too much work for a non-shop.

[@richardacol4777]

what a waste of concept!

[@cody_janssen831]

It's weird how easily you can take a jeep down to nothing

[@captaincrunch6803]

Be way easier to just buy a utility trailer.. js

[@Reisito305]

Amazing body work...very professional but it looks like shit. Don't know why anyone would want that.

[@jeadelmann90]

Ray Cuban so they could have a pickup that can go absolutely anywhere... it looks fine with the top off... it's a freaking jeep who cares what it looks like...

[@danielplesent.8203]

Naaaaa 🤢🤮
