Default Is AEV going to make a consumer J8?

Out and about in downtown Royal Oak, Michigan, we spotted these M-plated and AEV-tagged Jeep Wranglers wearing complete military-style gear. What are these guys cooking up?

Following on from news that the Jeep J8 has commenced production, this photo pops up. Yes this incarnation is leaf sprung.

Is this the 4 door version purely for military purposes, or is AEV working on a public release spec?

Default Hey Jeep!!

Where's MY J8 dammit!!
I'd like to know what it WOULD take to get one of these through a NSW rego inspection...... Hypothetically speaking - of course.
Why didn't it come up to standards etc?
Anyone here ever driven a Lada for f**kssake?

I would just like the factor steel rims in 16".

These J8 styles would sell well in the civvy market.

Coils up front & leaf packs in back would suit me fine. Just load her up & drive. I would not be after awesome articulation in this instance.
