You all know American Expedition Vehicles from the endless magazine and Internet coverage they receive for their Montana-based Jeep conversions.
Here is the latest [Jalponik] for those of you who enjoy the liberal application of stupid pedal (and the resulting replacement of axle shafts). Apparently, the Hemi conversion is pretty common for these guys on the TJ models, but this is a JK first. Reported specs on the 6.4L Hemi include 525 HP…
Truck was built for this years SEMA show and coincides with the release of a 5.7L Hemi conversion kit. Official AEV Press Release here.

Man, I can’t fathom 525 rwhp in a jeep. My 265 hp stroker is jerky enough with the 5 spd and 300ftlbs of torque, I really don’t think a hemi wrangler would have much of a fun-to-drive factor after you pulled the first sub-12 1/4 mile…
I like that XJ with the back cut off (bu it looks a little bit like a Rodeo…)
We need to go to SEMA sometime.
