Wow that is alot for Duty!!

The only way around it is to have it shipped in the USA and drive down and get it but sometimes that is not a option.

Thanks, bones I never claimed to be the smartest guy on the net but I just found out that OME= Old Man Emu. Please tell me that the JK kit does not come with yellow shocks like the TJ did. I just installed one in a TJ over Turkey day.

There are No duty fees if shipping to a APO you just have to find somebody that will ship.

I guess it depends on what color JK you have, I have jeep green I think it will look good, BUT if it were yellow coils then we would have a problem

Well if my memory serves me correctly the springs were black on the tj. The JK I am looking at is Black. I am sure yellow would not be bad but there is only room at work for one yellow monstratity and my name is not on it.

With the $ saved compared to OME, I could get adjustable track bars, Sawybar Disconnects, and a skid plate...
