American Expedition Vehicles

Any one have experperience with AEV? I used to be a fan of their site and would dream of the 112" wheel base Wrangler prior to Jeep (O|||||O) buying their idea for the Unlimited. Looks like they have some great "off the shelf" products.

I like the the Brute! Bet they will soon be available from the Dealerships soon.

I have talked with several people who own vehicles that were modified by AEV. They do some very nice work, and the fact that all the modifications are covered under warranty is a bonus. Unfortunately, every person I talked to about their AEV vehicles ends up looking at me like I am crazy when I ask them about the off road performance....they were all street queens! The last guy I talked to was up in Surprize AZ, had a AEV built jeep rubicon, hemi conversion, dana 60 axles, ARB's, bumpers, skid plates, blah blah blah....the poor jeep never even saw a dirt parkinglot, let alone a nice scenic 2 track.....

Those are pretty sweet looking. Even if they are partial Jeeps.

The Brute is one of the best looking domestic rigs available. I would be proud to have one in my driveway and use it on the local trails.

It is probably pretty reliable too. All of the Wranglers I have owned have been flawless, even well past 100,000 miles. The others Jeeps do not share the same result...

those are very nice wrangler
About how many cost one ?

[Scott Brady]

They are very expensive... Around $60,000 US.

I am waiting for a company to start doing Common Rail Diesel swaps into these vehicles. That will be exciting!

I had heard from a local guy in town who attended the Moab Easter Jeep Safari that someone had rolled a brand new Brute on the slickrock. However I've yet to see any pics and I'm wondering if he was confusing the Brute with the brand new Rubicon that was rolled on Flat Iron Mesa Trail the same week -

Oooh! Doesn't like it went too far but still sucks to roll.

That is a totally sad picture of the Rubi on its lid.
