The AEV rig is DEAD SEXY! I am looking into a build that is an overlander first and a trail rig second. This rig nailed it! Love to the see the AEV control arms. The rack looks interesting as well.

BTW, it absolutely kicks ass that Mel showed up with that bad ass rig a little dirty. And I didn't notice it at first, but check out the front drivers side fender and hood. Nice to see this, even at Sema. Balls.

I had Nth's (now AEV) upper control arms like that on my TJ... they were a PITA. The jam nuts came loose after every wheeling trip. Hopefully they've improved them, but the look identical to what Nth used to have.

Mel's jeep is not a pretty boy trailer queen and he wheels it hard...I think he's even the R&D test pilot...these are pics of him just a week or two ago from the Roctoberfest...Mel you :rock

I really like the Smittybuilt fenders. The looks appeal to me. Eddie do they appear to be stout and able to withstand a decent hit with a tree?

the idea of them is definitely nice and i love innovation like this but, as is, they really didn't do anything for me. fwiw, we were told that tooling for them should be completed soon and they will be shipping from china in about 6 months.

similar to all the others, there are tracks that get attached to the hard top and the rack attaches to it.

yup, exactly the same as the old nth "low-buck" upper control arms that were made from the TJ.

well, being that the fronts are made as complete body panel replacements, yeah, it looked pretty stout but the rears bolt over the body and so that's a different story. i don't know, i love the innovation and definitely give them a thumbs up for effort but it does bother me a bit that they are made in china. not that i'm not all for a capitalistic world economy, experience has just taught me that the quality of chinesse made off road products are typically inferior to products made in the u.s. or canada. but, that's just me.

I think you mean makes you want to spend even more so than normal, just coming on this site makes me want to buy some new goodies, the bank account is slowly coming back which means time to start browsing Long arm or coilovers, decisions decisions
