The AEV Brute is the product of American Expedition Vehicles, a Michigan-based Wrangler customiser, which swaps out the basic vehicle’s 3.6-litre V6 engine for a 6.4-litre V8 Hemi – virtually doubling the engine displacement. A 61in (1.5 metre) covered pickup flatbed is added, as is a Warn winch, skid plates, a water pump and a number of architectural upgrades.
