Wrangler 2023 option - level II

[chorky]

I know I know....it's not a Gladiator, but this is super cool!! Has anyone else seen this?

Looks like Jeep and AEV has paired up. The level II option has factory 37's, AEV's 2.5" lift, and a warn winch.

Originally saw this thanks to @Casey250 Pretty slick. Sure is a bummer they can't at least put 35's and a lift on the Gladiator. Surprisingly it's cheap - just under $4,000

I know you can basically get this from AEV and an authorized AEV dealer, but for Jeep to just offer this is awesome in my book....it shows that they are still listening to their customers and what we want.

Not sure where you get $4000... it's $20K or $22K for the level II uplift. On top of the $75K for the 392.... .... $4K was (I think) the pricing for the the "XR" package that gets the 2" mopar lift and 35s ...

But definitely cool to see AEV doing this level of integration again.

I got excited and was looking at the wrong package

I could be waaaay off the mark here, but yesterday, I was at our dealership and saw a Yellow Sport that looked a heck of a lot like a Rubicon - had a Rubicon hood, 3" or so lift, tire and wheel swap, bumper, Warn winch, it was loaded up. Turned that Sport into a 70K vehicle according to the dealer.
Loved the interior effects as well.
These guys don't normally do any vehicle mods so I'm trying to figure out how they got it.
They must have sent that Wrangler Sport out to have all this done.
It still had the original factory Sport window sticker.
The springs were painted yellow, it had really nice higher-end suspension under it.

That's an interesting color pattern.

It looks to me like the level II is basically just the AEV build (https://www.aev-conversions.com/vehicles/jl-wrangler/jl-wrangler-build-and-price/), but officially licensed by Jeep.

That's a build put together by a third party company. They will have something similar every once in a while.

AEV does have an option with 37s for the gladiator:

JT Gladiator Build and Price - American Expedition Vehicles - AEV (aev-conversions.com)

They jsut aren't available a lot of places

interesting that it doesn't mention the gearing in that $20k upfit since it is now sitting on 37s (very small 37s )

That makes sense - there was a name up on the windshield.
I've never seen anything other than stock there. They are really generally against lifts and such and don't install anything themselves.
Accessories go out to another party for installation - even genuine Jeep/MOPAR accessories.
I've talked to them about that because if THEY don't install the MOPAR stuff like performance parts - lifts and so on, the warranty is a bit limited.

One of the spec sheets does, the 4xe moves up to 4.56, the 392 was already an xr so it stays with it's 4.56. when you have more torque than the diesel and 110+ more horsepower you don't need deep gears.

looks like someone puked banana laffy taffy all over that interior.

LOL - I like the yellows Jeep has used, but this is a bit much for my taste on the interior of this, especially since it's plastic and that just never can duplicate real finish on a real part.
It's one reason that although my wife loves purple and wants matching stuff for her Jeep, I'll draw the line at some of the things like these DASH parts.
Purple transmission/shifter bezel wouldn't be so bad - if I could get it in a nice translucent purple on aluminum instead of fake looking plastic.
Maybe take the bezel off her shifter area and paint is a translucent purple over the bright parts.

That's fucking hideous

My friend has a 392 and he’s kitted it with a full teraflex lift, teraflex beadlocks, and hydro assist for around $120k. Much better than the AEV kit.
