    Default Saw a different JK being tested in Nevada!!!!

    All,

    yesterday I was out doing a SAR training flight in Northern Nevada and we overflew the vehicle testing sight. there was a white JK Rubicon unlimited driving around, sounds normal right? The thing was it had no rear doors and a full hardtop, kinka looked like a FJ-45 "Troopy" or the JT concept with a full hardtop. Tried to get a pic, but I was flying, I will keep my eyes open out that way in the future. just thought I would share this with all of you!!!!

    I read recently that Jeep had obtained a new contract witht he military to supply modified JKs for light duty military use; maybe this was one of those?
