Jeep TJ Brute conversion? Im seriously thinking about converting my Jeep to a Brute. Damn, this is sick. I love it. What do you guys think? This company also does a Hemi conversion, but i was planning on an LS1. Comments, suggestions, praise, i think im going to order one.

This is the first one we did at work, we have a second for sale right now. We have two 5.7 Hemi Rubicons and one 6.1 Hemi Rubicon. The Brutes are great to drive, handle better with the longer wheelbase. Total cost with kit and install is around $25k

The kit includes frame extensions, pretty cool huh? But i was wondering how it would be applied to a longer wheel based jeep, because this kit assumes you have a regular. Maybe you just specify when you order. Maybe you just shorten the supplied extensions. Maybe after the stock frame is cut, you shorten it. I dont know, part of the reason i hope teamchickenleggs posts a build of some sort.

The AEV Brute conversion is only available for the TJ (short wb) back half of the tub is cut off, frame extensions are welded in after frame is measured and cut. Kit comes with everything you see in the pictures; tub back-half, removable top, highline fender and hood kit etc. I have some build pics, but not hosted at this time, I'll work on that and post some up. If you pm me I can email a few to you.
