It ain't coming off his Jeep, I can tell you that much!
I kind of gave up on an AEV, but I do like the MC's, especially the overline fenders. Not sure I'll ever do it, but for me it's more function over form on this build. But I like to keep the form in check. I try to do that by not adding a lot of visual mods that detract from the purity of Jeep. Some would think the overline's might detract, but all the old Jeeps had flat fenders, so it's deeply embedded in what it is to be Jeep. In the end, what's so fun about building is it can be done so many different ways and everyone can put things together the way they want. I just like to keep the color scheme smart. I like to keep traditional Jeep lines. I don't like to cut the body, that's when it goes too far for me. Though I wouldn't mind cutting on a dedicated rock crawler, but that's another issue. That would be a pure function build...
