Expedition Portal Puts a Race Car Driver in an AEV HEMI Powered Jeep Wrangler (video)

Expedition Portal is now doing some of the most complete reviews of various specialty 4×4 vehicles in world. They recently got their hands on a couple of our HEMI V8 powered Jeep Wranglers but weren’t content with just taking them off-road for the usual song and dance. Instead, they brought in Baja 1000 winner and Toyota/Lexus factory test driver Joe Bacal and had him push our Jeep to the limits on an Arizona road course that was built for high-powered aerodynamic sports cars, not lifted off road vehicles to show just how impressive these vehicles are for everyday use.

In this video from expeditionportal.com Joe uses the 390 horsepower, 5.7L VVT HEMI V8 to throw our Wrangler into the corners. With finely-tuned balance, predictably and minimal body roll Joe shows why AEV’s DualSport suspension system is not only known as the best off road suspension system in the industry, but the best on road as well.

Later in the video Scott Brady shows some of the fun they had in Moab this year with a 4.5″ lifted AEV Wrangler on 37″ tires. Our Jeep performed flawlessly on both Cliffhanger and Steel Bender, further showing the varying capabilities of our Jeeps and why Scott Brady calls AEV Jeeps “the most impressive trucks we’ve ever checked out.”
