So having a growing family it was time to find a new jeep that would make enjoying all the things we love to do easier. I reluctantly Sold Jekyll and Hyde; our 2005 AEV Hemi LJ. She will be remembered fondly and has gone to a great home in northern Michigan.
After a week of mourning I began searching for our new jeep that would fit our lifestyle and take us on new journeys. I had 3 main criteria for the new Jeep.
1. Be turn key for the mod's that I wanted. Small mods are always fun but the major things I wanted done. Lift Kit, Bumpers, Winch, Wheels & Tires.
2. Be comfortable: Bluetooth, Heated Seats, Power windows, Power Locks, Navigation, Remote Start, Dual Tops, ect. Everyone has different take on what a "real" jeep means but after spending 3+months on the road in my 05 AEV Hemi LJ with my fiance and our two bull terriers creature comforts were a must.
3. Be adaptable: from a DD in NYC to extended camping weekends. This was major compromise of Jekyll and Hyde. She was amazing at weekend getaways but was terrible if I had to take clients to a project site or run small errands around town. The noise, seating, interior space was not conducive to those situations.
As some of you might know, Dendy Jarret was selling an awesome AEV built JKU a few months ago that I missed out on. I wasn't able to sell my jeep in time to purchase his. As fortune would have it, a month later AEV was selling one of their company jeeps and it fit the exact bill. It had the new pentastar motor, the350 package, loaded with amenities and features, and was Sahara Tan. Suffice to say one look and she was mine. A few emails and phone calls to Jeff at AEV and Brian and Szott CJ and she was mine.
