Wrangler JK-8 Pick Up Kit Now Available In USA (UPDATED)

Mopar USA have released the JK-8 Independence Kit introduced at the Moab Jeep Safari in April and it is now available through US dealers.
Estimated price for the kit is $5499.00 (US$) plus installation and an expert enthusiast working quickly can do the conversion over a weekend, though most owners will need little longer. The kit  is shipped in JK-8 and Mopar-stamped wooden crate (85.25-inch by 62.25-inch by 30-inch), instructions included and with a single part number (77070049).
Its not yet known if it will be available through local Australian dealers. If you are keen to convert your Wrangler Unlimited to a pick up and have contacts in the shipping business it might be worth buying online and shipping to Oz.

The kit is designed to convert a Wrangler Unlimited with the full hardtop to a two-door, two-seat pickup with a 50-inch long by 44-inch wide (between the wheel wells) bed. The JK-8 Independence Kit contains all the necessary parts, including the bed floor, inner and outer body panels, half hard top (works with Freedom Top panels), and a new bulkhead. source - allpar.com
