20k miles just sold for 32k. Was the owner of AEVs personal jeep….has a HEMI in it lol. So this in my opinion was built by a pro and at 15k less which is the better buy?

For those looking for modified LJs, to get into $40k's you'd probably need to have dyna/currie/spyder axles and a V8. I have no idea what those looking for clean stock LJs will pay. I think the clean stock folks are who this rig should be marketed to and very well may pay into the 40s.

Theres a lot i wouldn't like about the AEV, obviously the AEV front end and hemi are the selling points. I would actually prefer the midarm/outboards of the Blaine Built personally.

Needs stretched.

The unlimited sticker has been moved. My new LJ has them in that location. Did some come from the factory in that location? I assumed someone moved mine for some reason.

It doesn't need a stretch for that size tire. The Unlimited sticker would look really dumb over the bolts that hold on the Savvy color matched rock rail backer. I stuck them in the next suitable location after the repaint.

On this one, it said the body was painted.

It was. The interior is black, firewall is black, everything else is not. We picked very clean lines to break the paint color including removing the hood, grill, tail gate, tail gate hinges, cowl, fenders, and pulled the dash back to paint the jambs. The torque box under the tailgate is painted so you don't see a paint color break there.

$47k usd.... hahah good luck! Blows my mind what some people want for their jeeps down south. Even if "Blaine" built it, it is still a 15 year old Jeep.

This blows your mind? :unsure: If someone wants to pay what he's asking, good for him. If someone doesn't, he lowers the price or it doesn't sell.

Sorry I really don’t like LJ departure angles. And with what I know you can do, it could have been can done.

Mine got relocated but no cool rockers for a reason.
