I have this thread going on the AEV Forum, but I'm also a big fan of Expedition Portal. After Selling my TJ Rubicon Brute I'm starting an 2006 LJ Rubicon Build. fell free to comment or make suggestions along the way.

Can you still get the AEV Highline Kit or did you have one squirreled away for a rainy day?

You can't get one thru Aev. Luckily I knew someone that had one. I also had one on my brute

Great Looking Brute; I still think Jeep would sell a ton of these if they offered them straight from the factory.

At the time I was up in the air on my next project. I almost did a jk but I drive one everyday for a company car. So I went LJ which are getting so hard to find.

I want one for my LJ so bad. I was pissed when I heard AEV stopped production and all my usual sources can't get one for me.

Brute looked nice, looks like the LJ will look equally as nice.

They pop up on ebay and craigslist from time to time. Keep your eyes on the AEV for sale forum.. i.e. http://forum.aev-conversions.com/showthread.php?t=9411

Hutchinson 17 inch rock monster wheels with 37 inch BFG km2 tires. Will have a very similar set up on the LJ except probably black wheels this time
