American Expedition Vehicles Returns to the Rebelle Rally with Team Compass and Chaos

American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is returning to the Rebelle Rally, once again showcasing the capability, durability, and thoughtful engineering behind the JL370 Wrangler. For 2026, the vehicle will be piloted by Team Compass and Chaos #114, featuring driver Connie Rodman and navigator Rachael Elseman as they take on more than 2,500 kilometers of challenging desert terrain across Nevada, Utah, and California.

The Rebelle Rally isn't about horsepower or outright speed. It's a true test of navigation, teamwork, and vehicle capability. Competitors rely solely on paper maps, compasses, and roadbooks—GPS devices and mobile phones are sealed away for the duration of the event. Every mile demands precision, communication, and confidence behind the wheel.

A Proven Platform Ready for Another Adventure

The AEV JL370 Wrangler was purpose-built for exactly this kind of challenge. Every component has been designed with real-world overlanding and expedition travel in mind, making it an ideal platform for the demanding conditions of the Rebelle Rally.

Key features include:

AEV DualSport Suspension engineered for stability and control over rough terrain.
High-clearance front and rear bumpers to maximize approach and departure angles.
AEV Tire Carrier capable of securely supporting oversized spare tires while reducing stress on the tailgate.
Heavy-duty skid plates and recovery points for protection in rocky environments.
Practical cargo management solutions to organize the navigation equipment, recovery gear, and supplies required during the rally.
