Sorry just saw this, been battling stomach flu the past few days...

It's the rugged ridge XHD with the hoop, and a Warn XD9000 winch. You can also get end caps to be the full width of the jeep (with out without the ability to hold stuff). The pictures I saw they looked a little cheap and I figured I'd end up tearing them off on a tree or something. Yep thats the factory fog lights and they work just fine in it so far. I actually inspected it a bit last week to see how it's holding up out in the salt, no signs of rust anywhere.

I bought it at burnsville off road (and they installed it).

quadratec has some decent pics of it online.

I drive by there everyday going to/from work. That white one is nice, but they want 31k or something for it. If the gears were done it "might" be worth it. Thing is a jeep that new with that lift & tires, somebody got rid of something that was probably a problem more than anything.

As for the lift/big tires. As much as I want the look, I think gas hitting $5/gallon this summer will prevent me from going much higher. I'll wait for runnin-low's BB lift and go with some 33's

The switch to summer blend fuel and the whole Iran thing is allegedly going to cause it.

Analyst's are like gypsy weather fore casters. Fortunately, only OPEC as a group can manipulate gas prices and as of yet, I've yet to see a pattern on gas prices driven by PE's.

check out Libya's crude oil production in the last few months. up 191%. 61% goes tothe USofA for the first 5 years of prod.
