They have made Jeep pickups for years. A guy I worked with had one in the late  '90s

  Reminds me of the 82 CJ8 Scrambler. I guess it was such a sales success Jeep wants to relive it ;)

That is cool.  I think AEV makes a kit for that.  I've seen that pic in a magazine a while ago and I don't remember if it was a ChryCo concept or some custom thing.

But there's been no real pickup since the Comanche (RIP 1992).  They may have made TJ based ones for military export.

I believe that was a prototype military export version of the TJ. Don't remember if it ever made it into production.

I am sure that it will be casualty of the cerebus slaughter...
