Offroad-Express

As the brute is a bit too long for me, I see that US prepares special deliveries of the wrangler

for example:

I suppose it is better to take the track "japan import" rather than US, correct?

Starting from a virgin one and importing parts is another option but from my experience with my TJ, it looks quite heavy and expensive too.

Your biggest issue would be LHD vs RHD on US imports.

Brute is done by AEV, which works closely with Jeep on concept and normal vehicle development. The ones in NZ imported recently are factory RHDs, not conversions.

As for the look you are referring to, to each their own. I'm not a fan of all that plastic and body mouldings.

I agree that it is a bit "too much".

Rather go for a delivery like that

which must not be so far from the standard in US.

but ok, the LHD remains an issue here.
