It would be very easy to make even a limited run of these. The Jeep engineer said near the end of the video that it has a 118” WB, the same as the unlimited. All the frame needs is an extension for the rear overhang, which could be welded or bolted on, and some extra or beefier crossmembers.
If Jeep made this little pickup available, it would tempt me greatly to move to it from my 2 door Willys.
I see rollover protection as an issue though. A roll cage inside that would pass NHTSA standards may make headroom unacceptably tight. Although that light bar could be redesigned and strenghtend to provide adequate protection in combination with what can be seen inside the cab in the video.
