Jeep Brute

blackwidowkj06 · **Posted:** Fri Nov 19, 2010 10:36 pm

I didn't know where to post this on LOST but I thought this would be a good place. Next year, I may trade my KJ to a TJ and do a Brute conversion. This kit costs around $8,000. If I could find one to buy I'd do that, but I can hardly find one on the internet for sale.

This would be my next project

Here's the link to the Brute Conversion Kit

Yeah I know. I thought if I just bought a TJ LWB, I could modify the rear tailgate to flip down and I would have all that extra room in the back. Then buy a half closed cab hardtop from them.

Fracking nice kit! :wink:

Just need a diesel swap kit to get more appealing to me :mrgreen:

The Hemi is a bit "Overkill" but to have fun you need big numbers sooooo change the name for GOLIATH ! :twisted:

Someone makes kits that does just that.
Or you can get a CJ tail gate which flips down and retrofit it onto the LJ.

Conversion kit doesn't take up any additional space. Jeep in the pic has what looks to be a Tuffy Enclosure or shelf in the back.

Spare? Bumper with Tire carrier.

I know, misread your post. Was just to lazy at the moment to edit mine. Sorry :oops:

Well, I won't be getting a Jeep Brute anytime soon (somethings came up). :cry:

Guess it's back to thinking up mods for the KJ :BANANA:

Sorry to hear that, Life has a way of happening doesn't it? Thank fully I found myself in a situation to keep the KJ and get a Wrangler too.
