According to the seller, the AEV TJ Brute conversion was completed in 2012. The TJ Brute conversion kit was offered by AEV (American Expedition Vehicles) for several years. It included the parts necessary to convert the Jeep Wrangler TJ from an SUV to a two-door, regular cab pickup with removable hardtop.
This Jeep is powered by a 6.0-liter Vortec LQ9 V8 engine and it’s mated to a 4L65E four-speed automatic transmission. The Jeep’s transfer case is listed as a “New Process dual-range transfer case with a heavy-duty output kit.” Additionally, power is carried to the axles via “rebuilt 1350-series driveshafts.”
Up front is a Dana 60 front axle with Warn Premium manual locking hubs and out back is a Sterling 10.5-inch rear axle. Both axles have 5.13:1 gears and ARB Air Lockers. The Jeep’s suspension is a custom long-arm setup and includes King remote-reservoir coilovers and a Rock Jock 4×4 Antirock front swaybar.
