The final production version of Jeep’s J8 military vehicle was revealed at the “Euro Jeep Camp 2008”, a customer event that took place in In order to withstand heavy duty use, Jeep’s engineers reinforced the Wrangler frame allowing greater payloads – up to a maximum of 1,250 kg (2,756 lbs.). Other improvements include the Dana 60 rear axle with heavy duty brake discs and a new air-intake system with special filtration and a hood-mounted air inlet that enables the J8 to ford water up to 762 mm (30 in.) deep and operate in sandstorm conditions for up to five hours.
Jeep offers the J8 as a two-door truck with an extended pickup bed or a four-door multipurpose vehicle. However, the J8 can be produced with numerous vehicle-body and seating configurations in either right-hand or left-hand drive. For example, the two-door version can be configured as a personnel carrier seating up to eight passengers

too bad they are not selling it to civilians - I know a lot of people who like hunting/fishing or simply live in the country who are always looking for a cheap, reliable and sturdy 4x4. Todays offering mostly is either SUVs (small 4x4 bullshit for city use only) or luxury big ones you wouldn't want to scratch either.
oh well, back to Defender and old Cherokee I guess :)
i want! its cool cool really cool. but i think they should make the engine more powerful,since many sport utility vehicles now have high horsepower-ed engines.Giving this J8 more power would be better
More power does not always equal better. More power generally equals greater weight, and greater fuel consumption. I'm certain that Chrysler has looked at all the scenarios they expect the vehicle to possibly be put through, and fitted it with a drivetrain with the right balance of weight, power, and efficiency to maximize the J8's capabilities.
Really great car.
Why can't Jeep in North America offer us a HD Wrangler pickup with a small desiel. The Grand Cherokees 3.0 would be awesome.. and I would buy one !!
