The hood!
How much are you paying for the hood? $1400 for the hood + paint seems steep. The hood is $800 on the AEV site.
I see it practically every day -- my neighbor a few doors down has a black 2012 MW3 JKU. I really like the way that hood looks!
Maybe even put a WTB ad up to do a hood swap with a MW3 owner for $400 - $500? Might save some cash.

you could build this set up for $600 (and by the way I have an extra 40" light bar for sale 
)
425 led's (from me) or 550 ebay
you can order a rugged ridge windshield hoop for 175 shipped

NO not selling the one on my jeep! i bought 2 40s 2 30's and 2 20's
my original plan was to run 1 40 plus a 20 or 30 mounted on the hood plus a 20 for my tractor since it uses so little power and a buddy of mine was going to do the same. When I got the lights i found anything more the the 40 was over kill for me and my friend came into a little money trouble and never paid me for the ones I ordered him. I still plan on keep one for the tractor but i want to see which ones I can sell first to recoup some of the money I put out already.
