I like it!

I agree these look great and capture the classic look that many of us like or grew up with. While not cheap, you do get a lot for your money and AEV does quality builds.Looks like AEV is doing a limited run of classic editions.

If youāre anywhere near done with your mods at anywhere near $10,000, youāve gotten off much better than most of us.Probably... But stuff adds up fast, if I had to guess I am already north of $10,000 (everything has been self installed).
Nah, but I am slowing down for a bit.ā¦ I have some other more long term goals I want to hit before doing some of the bigger, more expensive projects.If youāre anywhere near done with your mods at anywhere near $10,000, youāve gotten off much better than most of us.
The look pulls at my heart strings because I have such fond memories of my early CJs, and I do generally like AEV builds, but I donāt want a complicated facsimile of my first real Jeep. I want the real thing, with a steel dash, exposed steel floors, ample headroom, manual transmission, and so much room under the hood you could install a toaster oven and still see pavement on three sides of the motor.I agree these look great and capture the classic look that many of us like or grew up with.

I get it. My JL build has developed in phases, usually in $2000 to $5000 chunks. At the end of each of those phases I have it at a happy place, and my wish list is shorter, but I have ājust a few more things to doā.Nah, but I am slowing down for a bit.ā¦ I have some other more long term goals I want to hit before doing some of the bigger, more expensive projects.
I just have it for the most part setup how I like it for the time being.
I'm so glad I saw this!I was going that route of different parts but then I stumbled upon a little company called AEV and I could not take my eyes off of their builds.
I started with just the front bumper then the wheels...then the rear bumper, then the dif covers..etc
I have a mild case of ocd so I needed everything to match; AEV
I started with not wanting to pay Jeep's price for steel bumpers when I knew that I wanted something better. I ended up with a fully decked-out JL370. Definitely "something better."I'm so glad I saw this!
I literally fell prey to the same journey. Have a 2021 JLUR 6-speed manual. Initially was going to do just larger tires (35's). Then speaking to a 4wd shop started researching lifts and they recommended the AEV DUALSPORT RT. So I said ok. Next thing I know have AEV Salta XR wheels, front bumper, diff covers, rear bumper and tire carrier on order and on the way
Glad I'm not the only one
Oh wow! Beaitiful jeep and that looks amesome! Wish I could go with the XPs8100 but are currently out of stock so proceeding with the 5100s. Last thing I'm doing is regearing to 4.88s for the 6-speed. Will post a pic when completeI started with not wanting to pay Jeep's price for steel bumpers when I knew that I wanted something better.

We'd never done Wheeler's Lake near Breckenridge before. It was a blast today! I love the Bilstein XP8100s.
