I see a Sport in their inventory with a list price $20K over sticker, that must be it. no photos, though... the new inventory system is based off the VIN and shows the info from the factory. http://carmandodge.com/new/jee…ted-sport-2012-10242.html MSRP: $50,685. original sticker: $30,690.

I stopped by on my way to NJ today. It looks pretty nice but I'm surprised they used a sport and not a Rubicon. I snapped a couple pics with my phone to share. Good luck selling a $50,000 jeep carman...

haha "CJ-8 Scrambler". it's the JK-8...

haha "CJ-8 Scrambler". it's the JK-8...You have to love their marketing. I wonder if anyone will call them on that.

OMG! Someone should go up and razz the sales man. Tell them that no CJ is ever worth $50K. Offer them $10K since that's as much as a CJ will ever bring around here. When they scoff at you tell them to look up the blue book value for a CJ8.

I already told them it is a joke with that on the window. I am sitting here now and hear them on the phone trying to buy a CJ 8 Scrambler emblem to put on it.

Maybe later this week I'll drive mine over (or Deadfeat could drive over) to show them a Scrambler. -

Also, how can they justify $30,000 worth of parts and labor?

actually, they're asking 20 grand... the JK-8 kit is $5500 from Quadratec. so that leaves $14,500. it has new wheels and tires... so, drop down to $11,500. who knows which lift it has, so lets say $1000 for that. down to $10,500... how much is a Linex job? after that... still need to install and paint the JK-8 conversion. Quadratec says 35 hours including paint time. 3500 there. so, maybe $7000 profit before the haggling starts.

It's a Teraflex kit. I didn't crawl under there so I don't know how involved it was.

That’s kind of the “asking” price for the JK-8 at Adams Jeep. They had one on the lot Saturday. I think they have put together 2 or 3 now. I drove the first one. I love the look. They used a BDS suspension kit which seemed like the spring rates where not the best match for the weight changes. I noticed that the new build had the new Fox shocks on it. I put my jacket in the storage area behind the seats while driving it, but had a hard time getting to it after I got out, the seats don’t fold forward. I kit also included a segment of new roll bar, but the sound bar would not work with the new roll bar. I’m not sure if that has been worked out.

I saw it siting out in front of their lot yesterday on my way to work. Can't say that it would justify $50k in my book though. Now if I ever have the chance to own a JK I would do this in a heartbeat (pending my winning the lottery) /0/]http://www.aev-conversions.com/?option=com_content&id=54#!prettyPhoto[gallery0fd3cc476a]/0/ . Not sure if I like the 1st brute conversion or this double cab version more. I'll just have to get one of both and let the wifey drive the double cab with the kids!

local dealer has 2, they built both. the magazines are filled with press from Jeep, offering the package.

Hmmm...I think I just figured out the elusive step #2
1. DEJA buys a JK and JK-8 kit (on Knox's credit ;))
2. Wrench party
3. Profit! -
Geez for that much money you can buy a serious pickup truck.

You said a bad word without censoring yourself.

If some sucker buys that for $50,000. Count me in.

I bought a 2011 Ram with Cummins and a few options for $41,000. These Jeep pick-up things make no sense to me but that's just my opinion.
