Next year my KJ maybe paid-off. If so, I am trading to a TJ and building a Brute. The kit for a Brute is $8,000.

Here's a picture of a Brute

And here's the link to the Brute Conversion Kit

They've been around a long time now,
base kit is 8000 and then cost of installation etc.
Like anything you do to a vehicle, look at the cost and then double that and you'll be close to the final amount.

Wasn't speaking for you. It's for me. I've always wanted a Wrangler, and at the time I could only get a Liberty when I was buying a new vehicle. So when I get the chance, I'm jumping on this project!

I wasn't talking to you...i liked that link you showed me. it gave me an idea. i also saw a reg. tj with a closed halfcab, so i know that atleast i can do that until i get the $$$ to do the whole brute conversion.

Too many ways to go with this so I'll just say trucks are cheaper.

Seriously?!?!?! I'm thinking I quoted ridenby not you..... And as long as you are posting in open forum you are talking to thousands of people like it or not.

They look cool, but thats where it ends for me,
not enough room in the cab
like the Ford Ranger I bought one time for a work truck,
by the time I got in and had my brief case, or groceries, extra winter clothes , whatever the cab was full.
I've sat in one of AEVs and its the same way for me, not enough room.
Either that or I take too much stuff with me always :ROTFL:

Why not just buy and old jeep truck save yourself alot of time and money. The engins in some of them were great unlike this mini-van V6 they through in the new wranglers. Ever since they did away with the I6 in the wrangler I have lost alot of respect for them.
