Offered here is an exceptionally rare and meticulously upgraded 2006 Jeep Wrangler featuring the highly sought-after AEV Brute conversion – a transformation that turns the classic Wrangler into a rugged, adventure-ready pickup. Only a limited number of these conversions were ever completed, making this one a true collector’s piece that blends exclusivity, performance, and capability.
Power comes from Jeep’s legendary 4.0L straight-six engine, enhanced with a Banks Sidewinder turbocharger for impressive power and reliability. Paired with a manual transmission, this setup delivers the authentic Jeep driving experience. Performance and off-road capability are further elevated with Dana 44 G2 front and rear axles, ARB front and rear lockers, and regeared 4.88 differentials for superior torque delivery. Jeep is currently running BG Goodrich 34x10.5x17 Tires with less than 5,000 miles driven on them.
This Brute is also equipped with dual WARN M800 winches—one in the front and one in the rear, along with an onboard air compressor for trail-ready versatility. Interior and comfort upgrades include power locks and windows, a Pioneer navigation system with backup camera, and numerous other thoughtful enhancements throughout. The Brute bed features a durable bedliner and a dual-access toolbox with an integrated Hi-Lift jack mount, combining function with rugged practicality. Hood mounted light bar and removeable tire carrier included.
Recent maintenance includes a new AC pump and compressor (2023) and an upgraded alternator (2024), showing the level of care and attention this Jeep has received.
Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast, collector, or simply someone who appreciates a truly unique Jeep, this AEV Brute stands as a top-tier example that’s as capable as it is rare. Extensive amount of documentation available.
