The AEV Brute Jeep Conversion Kit

Destined to be an American classic! Brute is here! Offering utility, great styling, and AEV durability, this is the AEV Brute Jeep pickup conversion. Countless hours of design have made this the ultimate conversion for any Jeep TJ Wrangler ( SWB, LWB, LHD, RHD Tooltip ) . Originally designed in 2002 (and a winner of the Daimler/Chrysler Design Excellence Award), the Brute is now available in kit form. Changes from the concept vehicle include an all new hardtop with increased headroom and two small skylights, plus a redesigned stamped steel bed that offers even more storage space.

The kit comes over 90% assembled, with an average build time of around 60 hours. Additionally, the kit can be purchased in various stages to meet your specific needs or budget.
