Summary:
This AEV is one of the if not THE most advanced Brute's ever built. This Brute was built by me personally and it has had no expense spared on it at all. This Brute is has literally been taken completely apart down to bare frame. The frame had extensive modification done to it to strengthen the frame that all TJ Brute builds need to prevent the “limo bounce” or oscillating frame movements when driven. The frame was then bead blasted and powder coated black. The body was painted 2013 Dodge Viper white and the underneath was painted a semi gloss black. The underside is just as clean and shinning as the top. The combination of the RK suspension, KING shocks and Currie HD steering have prove to be a great combination on this Brute build and of course the AEV Big Brake kit brings it all back to a firm controlled stop. Custom BFG KM2 full-length tire tread graphics, actual size of real tire.

Very nice work done. While I'm not a fan of the spare in the bed personally, I can certainly appreciate great work.

Thanks guys! And the look I was going for was "offroad racing Brute"... (hence the spare in the bed) My background is racing. Mostly Offshore Power Boats, Shifter Karts and SCCA, but I never got to race offroad... So this is my go fast Brute... :wings:

Wow:Wow1:

The one thing I'd do differently is paint the front fender wells black. I've always loved the look of baja style light cages.
