Local company makes off-road vehicle that handles like sports car on the road
An American Expedition Vehicles Jeep Wrangler Unlimited outfitted like this one would cost $66,400, $34,900 more than stock. It has a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, a 3 1/2" suspension lift and new special styling elements.
WALLED LAKE — Don’t try this at home: Greg Henderson wheels this special Jeep through the parking lots behind American Expedition Vehicles’ building on West Maple Road.
He pitches the jacked-up Jeep Wrangler Unlimited from side to side and vehicle does a reasonable impersonation of a low-slung sports car, seemingly defying the laws of physics. A tall vehicle, made even taller with a 3 1/2″ lift kit from AEV and bigger tires, should not be able to handle high-speed turns like this.
