Year End / SEMA 2011 Wrap-Up

2011 has been a banner year for AEV. We enjoyed continued success with our DualSport Suspension Systems, HEMI conversions and upfits while releasing some great new innovations like the Hi-Lift / Pull-Pal Mount, Fuel Caddy, 2″ Spacer Suspension Kit and JK Tubeless Front Bumper. All of these things have contributed to one heck of a year here at AEV, but the cherry on the sundae (some would say it’s the whole sundae) is the announcement of the Brute Double Cab at SEMA 2011. After years of planning, engineering, tinkering, blood, sweat and tears nothing made us more proud than showing off the finished product. We knew that we had created something special, but we had no idea that it would be received so well by both our consumer base and media types alike. The response to the Brute Double Cab was gratifying, heart-warming and overwhelming and we can’t thank everyone enough for showing their support for our continued hard work and innovation.

Looking to 2012 we’re excited to get the ball rolling on production of the Brute Double Cab as well as many yet-to-be-announced products that are sure to make your off-road and overland adventures as fulfilling as possible. Below are some links to just a few of the many fantastic articles about the Brute Double Cab. Enjoy and happy new year!
