AEV J8 MILSPEC Vehicles now for Cilivian Purchase
Designed for military use, the J8 passes one of the world’s toughest durability cycles, which is three times more severe than what civilian applications must endure. The axles are both beefed up to a heavy duty Dana 44 front and a rear Dana 60 axle equipped with Dodge Ram brakes. The frame is built for severe use and the rear suspension uses leaf springs to facilitate more than a 2,500 lb. payload capacity and a increased tow rating.
