The AEV 4-Door Brute Double Cab for SEMA 2011 is a drool-worthy pickup for anyone who loves Jeeps.
This week, images of the all new, totally badass AEV Brute Double Cab Pickup Jeep were released. Needless to say, they're mouth watering. The pickup is based on the newest edition of the Jeep Wrangler. It extends the body 30 inches longer to accommodate the 5 x 5 pickup bed, perfect for hauling both your progeny and toys alike. However, the truck is not being labeled as a pickup. When asked what they would like to position the vehicle as, the folks at AEV Conversion said, "the Brute Double Cab is not meant to be an alternative to a traditional pickup, but is uniquely positioned to serve the overland market with more off road capability than a four-door truck and more cargo room and carrying capacity than a Jeep."
The only down side to all this? You have to wait until mid-2012 to satisfy your Jeep needs.
