Hey metrosexuals: Envious of a real man's Jeep? This is the model for you.
We're not accustomed to seeing all that many Jeep Wrangler Unlimited coachbuilds, but this one from the folks at Filson is downright manly. Customized by American Expedition Vehicles, the AEV Brute comes powered with a 6.0-liter V8 through a custom drivetrain. Its bed is comprised of rust- and dent-resistant steel and its tough guy exterior is further exploited thanks to AEV skid plates, double bumpers, 17" alloy wheels on mud terrain tires, off-road lights, and a water pump kit, amongst other must-have off-road features.
In short, there's pretty much everything you'd need to enjoy the ultimate off-the-beaten-path fishing trip. The interior, however, is pure posh manliness. The seats are stitched in Filson's signature leather and Dry Finish Tin Cloth. For your weekend getaway needs, a pair of Filson Rugged Twill bags are included. So much how does this display of alpha male cost? A cool $130,000.
