Re: 2004 Jeep Wrangler Scrambler

Too bad Jeep isn't making one that cool td

For some reason I can't see the original link, your message below is all I can see. Can you please re-post the photo link.

It's a AEV Brute (American Expedition Vehicles), no a factory 2004 Scrambler. The proposed new scrambler looks nothing like this.

pic of the Scrambler in Automobile looked like it has a longer bed.

Not sure if the bed was longer, but the rear axle was definitely further back towards the rear of the bed. I guess that improves the departure angle but to me it makes it look dorkier than an original Scrambler. :-)

If memory serves, the AEV vehicles are also > 2x more expensive than a Jeep straight off the assembly line.

They are nice looking vehicles, and I'm sure quite capable, but paying $40k or $50k for any Wrangler or CJ style vehicle, however well tweaked, is just nuts.

That looks like a Photoshop job. Not sayin' it is, but it sure looks like it.

if thats photoshop, its one hell of a good job! i cant find any misplaced pixels.

It's not photoshop. There is an outfit that makes those. They cut a TJ in half and add a BIG chunk and a couple of door in the middle. Kind of cool, actually. Just try to find a replacement top for it, though! I forget the outfit's name. I've seen them on the web before. I'm sure someone will post a link...

It's called The Brute and is done by a conversion outfit from Montana...whose name I can't remember! They had a few at Moab this year and the workmanship looked superb. Pricey!

They're made by AEV...

Nice - a bit reminiscent of my '51 Willys.

Now if someone will just give me nice bag full of money to get it running.

No, McFly, it's not a Brute. It's done by TCV or similar:

AEV makes the Brute. Not even close:
