Incommando Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 The jeep in the pics is not the one being sold if the colors and other details are correct. Don't go crazy over that FIAT/VM Motori 2.8. It had numerous problems when they tried it in the KJ. There was a laundry list of mods it required to make it reliable and for it to have any longevity. FIAT originally folded in this country due to very poor quality. I see no reason to suspect that has changed. If you visit a KJ site they list the required mods and most the posts are about its problems. Fanboi's will sing that engines praises but that is true of any niche vehicle. That is the way of fans of quirky vehicles and people who must justify paying a premium for a turd. I have seen webpages devoted to the Yugo and calling it under-appreciated. Same deal.
COFFMAN Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 There has been a couple JK-8 brute utes built in Oz, and a very nice flat tray one also.
