Built far beyond the proportions or capability of a standard JK, this 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon has been transformed into a six-door, eight-passenger off-roader powered by a 6.1L Hemi V8. The six-door conversion was completed in 2018, while the Hemi swap has approximately 12,000 miles of use. From its stretched body and three-row cabin to 40-inch tires, RockJock 60 axles, Atlas transfer case, long-arm suspension, and coilovers, nearly every major system has been reworked around serious trail capability. The Jeep currently shows 49,101 miles and is offered by a private seller in Smithfield, Utah. Before listing it for sale, the seller reports having the Jeep inspected and addressing a substantial list of mechanical and wear items to ensure it was ready for continued road and trail use.
- Six-Door Conversion: The defining feature is its six-door body conversion, completed in 2018. The stretched configuration provides seating for eight while retaining the basic character and trail-focused layout of the Wrangler Unlimited. Rather than building a Jeep around two or four occupants, this one offers enough cabin space to bring a considerably larger crew along.
- 6.1L Hemi Power: The original 3.8L V6 has been replaced by a 6.1L Hemi V8 rated by the seller at 425 horsepower, with approximately 12,000 miles accumulated since the swap. The factory build sheet confirms this Rubicon originally left Jeep with the 3.8L V6 and four-speed automatic transmission. Power is backed by an Atlas 4 transfer case and sent through 1350-series front and rear driveshafts to Currie RockJock 60 axles. Both ends carry 5.13 gearing and ARB air lockers, while the front axle is fitted with heavy-duty chromoly shafts.
- Built Around 40s: The Jeep rides on 40x13.50R17 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires mounted to 17-inch Walker Evans Signature beadlock wheels. Supporting them is a TeraFlex full long-arm suspension paired with EVO coilovers front and rear, TeraFlex SpeedBump bump stops, and a TeraFlex Big HD front track bar. PSC power-assist steering, a heavy-duty tie rod, and heavy-duty drag link address the steering demands created by the oversized tire and axle combination.
- Trail Armor: Protection extends well beyond the factory Rubicon hardware. An AEV front bumper has been converted to a stubby configuration, with an Artec rear bumper at the opposite end. Rock Slide Engineering sliders protect the extended body, while Poison Spyder corner armor, River Raider tube fender flares, and EVO aluminum front inner fender liners further reinforce the exterior. Rock Hard skid plates protect the fuel tank and transfer case underneath, and a TeraFlex rear tire carrier supports the full-size spare.
- Recently Refreshed: Ahead of the sale, the seller reports having the Jeep checked over and replacing or rebuilding a number of components. Recent work includes a brake booster, coolant overflow bottle, bushings, rebuilt Johnny Joints, O2 sensor, speed sensor, and ABS module. The front axle received new seals, U-joints, ball joints, and hubs, while the rear received new seals, bearings, and backing plates. New PRP seat covers and a center-console cover were also installed.
The six-door conversion gets your attention, but the hardware underneath it is what makes this build particularly interesting. This isn't simply a stretched JK sitting on oversized wheels. RockJock 60s, 5.13 gears, selectable ARB lockers, an Atlas 4, 1350 driveshafts, long arms, coilovers, PSC steering, and 40-inch tires make up a serious drivetrain and chassis package. Then there is the unusual practicality of the configuration. With six doors and seating for eight, the Jeep combines the passenger capacity of a full-size SUV with the mechanical recipe of a purpose-built crawler. Add 425-horsepower Hemi power, and the result is a JK that occupies a category largely its own.
