yes, bad ass, made by AEV. You'll need to mortgage your wife and child to buy one though (altough IIRC, you can buy a DIY kit too...)

Yeah, it's called the Gladiator.
The heat reduction hood is not part of the Brute kit, its just a hood. I have not seen any indication, press release, article, or rumor that there will be a JK Brute.

I am pretty sure there will be a jk brute considering both the popularity of the brutes and the jk
AEV already has the earthroamer, jk 4dr with a camper shell
and this quote from AEV from SEMA
"In addition to the Brute, AEV will show several new aftermarket products for the new 2007 Wrangler (JK) at SEMA, including:

- A formed-steel front bumper with integrated winch-mount and skid plate
- 3-dimensional formed-steel rear corner guards
- Newly-styled AEV wheels that will also fit Jeep Commander (XK) and Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK).
- Wheels will be conventional or with a bead-lock application for off-road performance; finish options include chrome, silver, or argent
- A JK Brute conversion is in the works and should be available soon"

They're redoing the Gladiator into that? Huh.

No, that was a prototype/concept that never made it to production. Which is a sad story really.

IIRC the Gladiator concept was based on the dodge 2500 truck base, and hemi powered - fullsized jeep. I would have been a purchaser had I had the means and had it made it to production... great concept.

Earthroamer has nothing to do with AEV, it is a company that use to be in Broomfield now Lafayette. When he first started it was Dodge Truck. He use to come into the shop I was at to get little suspension tweaks done.

They already have them in Egypt but no plans on bringing them state side according to JP mag. There is a company bringing them state side they come as a kit. That is only legal way they could get them here. I will have to see if I can find the companies name.
