looks like the AEV Brute Kit. You can buy the kit for $10k USD. Stretches the frame 2' and cabs the front seats just like you see in these spy photos.

I kinda like the JT truck, The gladiator was cool too. Maybe they'll put a hemi in it :twisted: They should change the tail gate as well. So it opens like a regular pickup,
Extended cab with storage would be cool.

It's got to be a kit.  Why else would they leave the SoftTop ridge around the box?

the jt truck was actually built by jeep engineers and jeeps prototype division,  it was built with mainly off the shelf components and a shortened hard top.  the on pc body/tub is actually in production for, i believe, the egyptian army.  on of the mags did a right up on it, i think it was Jp.  

geez ... you guys don't read the articles in your jeep porn :shock:

Yes, it was in last month's Jp magazine. There is a small comment and pic this month. (Just got my issue a couple days ago.)

I'm painting my XJ that color...  :oops:

p.s. It's a lot different than the brute kit, if you look closely.
