Jeep and American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) are expanding the availability of upfit packages for the new 2024 Jeep Wrangler. It wasn’t that long ago that Jeep offered a limited number of 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 20th Anniversary models with an AEV Level II package. Complete with 37-inch tires, legendary levels of capability, and a heart-wrenching price tag. But despite that, the special package sold out in just two hours, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the package is returning for the next generation of the Jeep Wrangler with more options than before. The AEV Jeep upgrades are on full display this weekend at Overland Expo Mountain West, taking place in Colorado.
How Does AEV Upgrade The 2024 Jeep Wrangler?
Exclusive to the 2024 Jeep Wrangler, AEV now offers three levels of upfit packages: Upcountry, Upcountry +, and Level II. All upfit levels add 35- or 37-inch tires to the Wrangler Rubicon, and for the first time, AEV Upcountry and Upcountry + upfits bring 35-inch tires to the already capable Wrangler Willys model. All of this should translate to more competition between the Wrangler and Ford Bronco, but as we all know, pricing will also play a significant factor in things.
The AEV Upcountry package (available on Rubicon and Willys) includes:
- AEV 2.0-inch Suspension kit
- AEV Jack Base
- AEV ProCal
- AEV Pintler wheels (satin black)
- 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires
- JPP/ Mopar flare extensions
- JPP/Mopar spare tire relocation kit
- AEV Plaque
The price of the AEV Upcountry Package for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler will add $7,476 to the overall price of the desired Jeep. Meanwhile, the AEV Upcountry + package (available on Rubicon and Willys) has a price of $11,599 added to the overall cost of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler and offers:
- AEV EX Front Bumper
- AEV Front Skid Plate
- AEV Non-Winch Cover Plate
- AEV 2.0-inch Suspension kit
- AEV Jack Base
- AEV ProCal
- AEV Pintler wheels (satin black)
- 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires
- JPP/Mopar flare extensions
- JPP/Mopar spare tire relocation kit
- AEV Build Plaque
- AEV Swing-gate Badge
Finally, we have the AEV Level II Rubicon Package, which is only available for the 2024 Wrangler Rubicon but includes the following:
- AEV EX Front Bumper
- AEV Front Skid Plate
- AEV 7000 Series Lights
- Warn Zeon 10-S Winch
- AEV Trail Camera Relocation kit
- AEV Rear Bumper
- AEV Tire Carrier
- AEV 2.5-inch DualSport Suspension with Bilstein 5100 shocks
- AEV Steering Damper
- AEV Jack Base
- AEV ProCal
- 37-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires
- AEV Savegre II wheels (satin black)
- JPP/Mopar flare extensions
- AEV Build Plawue
- AEV Level II Badging
The AEV Level II Rubicon package will add $20,049 to the overall cost of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, and if you’re opting for the Rubicon 4xe, that’ll add $22,099, which includes the 4.56 gear upgrade. However, you’ll want to act fast if you want a brand-new Jeep Wrangler with one of these packages, as they will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Unfortunately, Jeep hasn’t disclosed how many of these packages it will offer for 2024. Customers should be able to place orders through their local Jeep dealer this month. Vehicles will ship directly from the Toledo Assembly Complex to AEV for upfit and then to the customer’s dealership. Furthermore, if you are heading to the Overland Expo Mountain West this coming weekend in Loveland, Colorado, the new 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Level II will be displayed in AEV’s booth (B151).
