If you guys like the Gladiator why not look at an AEV Brute ?

Many of us are BIG fans of the Brute. I would say it is my favorite trail vehicle available.
Having seen AEV's work in person, I would not hesitate to buy one. That is if I had 60K+ laying around...

Ditto that! I love the Brute, and would consider it, if it cost maybe half what it does, but as awesome as it is, $60-$70 K for a modded Jeep is just out of the question. Heck 60-70 K s out of the question not matter what it is!
I am hoping they DO bring the Gladiator to market, maybe priced in the 30's. I think they would sell a TON of 'em.

Very true. Dropping $30k for a conversion for a $30k jeep is pretty gnarly. Here is a link to a new place

They have a do-it-yourself conversion kit for under $8k. I don't think it looks as good but the price is alot better (still high though). I wonder what Jeep would charge for a Gladiator if they ever decide to produce them?

Yeh, seen those too. If push comes to shove, one day I may look into that, but rather than just doing the straight conversion, maybe construct some kind of camper outfit instead of a bed. I wonder if they would sell JUST the frame and body extensions? Of course if I was doing that much fab, might as well fab it all? Oh yeah. . . forgot. . .that is just a WEE bit beyond my skill level. . .
I have read somewhere that they are not near the quality conversion as AEV is either. I guess $30K buys you something. . .
So anyway, back to crossing fingers on the Glad. . .
