Or.... I can buy the truck and build up a YJ or TJ. That way I'll still be able to play.

Not so sure aobut the lift;
A: I don't think you realize how much of a pain in the ass it was to put on, I'm not really interested in doing it all over again
B: If I remove the lift I'm sitting on top of the tires
C: Pleae DO NOT put 5 inches of lift with your Duellers!!!

If I do go through with this I'll have at least the following to sell
Mopar Sun Bonnet (literally on for 6 days)
Bestop Duster cover (on for 2 weeks)
Wraparound Windjammer (for the 2DR)
AirRaid CAI
9000LB HF winch (I bought the extended warranty so it could easily "change" into a brand new one)
Rugged Ridge stubby bumper ( I would need a factory bumper though)

Again, this is not yet decided but I'm very close. It may happen this weekend.

Is this the REAL version of the netting you were running??
It's Mopar's version of the bikini top. Same material as the soft-top. Same header and channels as well. I believe Gary has this same top.

well I have a stock bumper and want your bumper. And yes, 4" of lift with the duellers would be retarded

Yup, I have the 2DR version and love it - mainly because it really is just a "chopped" factory soft top (the header is the same one as the factory, as are the side clips that attach above the doors). Brandon also bought the 4DR version recently, and I believe he's pleased with that purchase.

Buy it and take advantage of Jason's mid-life crisis.

Sorry Jason, I have to warn everyone about the winch - after observing it in action a few times out on the trails, I think almost all the smoke has been let out. Remember, if it's electrical, and you let the smoke out, it will stop working.

I agree with the others, I think you'll regret this decision. Don't be, "Another One Biting the Dsut???" Especially just as Wes and Denny are turning up the gain with their rigs.

Dewayne traded his for a truck, and he's so sad now he hardly ever logs onto the forum.
