Does This Mean Jeep Will Not Produce A Wrangler Pickup?

Moab Easter Safari has seen a great array of special Moparised Jeep Vehicles developed. But this one could be the death nell for all those Jeep Pickup enthusiasts who just want Jeep to build a JK Pickup.

Jeep have released a Mopar Kit to convert your Wrangler Unlimited into a pickup. Sounds like a great idea but! This likely means that all the hype about them manufacturing a Wrangler Pickup (Gladiator) is not not going to happen. If they have produced this mopar kit they are not likely to build it for the mass market!

Official Press Release - Taking cues from the popular Jeep Scrambler CJ-8 from the 1980's, Mopar has designed a kit for do-it-yourselfers that converts a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited into a pickup truck. The bed length is 50 inches and the width between wheel wells is 44 inches. The team created body panels to cover the second-row entrance and removed all of the interior parts behind the front seats-transforming the vehicle into a two-seater with just enough room for gear inside, and a pickup style bed to be used for outside cargo.
