if they offered me that much for mine, it would be long gone and I'd be in a Viper. Thats the next car I'm buying. I hope Jason gets back with me soon. I want to buy his duster/windjammer setup. I gotta find a bikini then I'll be set. Anyone know how much the Mopar one runs? I want one that will keep the water out
Mopar Sunbonet... I picked mine up at the dealership for just over $200. I got 25% off because my mother is a Chrysler employee.

Maybe Rubicon, maybe go low end and do a complete replacement from the transfer case down. But one thing for sure, it would still be a four door.

I've got a brand new never installed Mopar Sun Bonnet sitting in the garage right now. It showed up with a 1 inch rip from part of the frame pushing through. not sure how much it would cost to have it fixed but I'm sure I could save you quite a bit.

The clutch was starting to squeak pretty bad in that thing and the brakes need to be replace ASAP.
Not to mention the cup holder insert is missing and they only have one key (I hid the other one and can't find it)
Just wanted to get that out there in case you hear of anyone that may be interested in the Jeep.
Do you think this picture could sway someone's buying decision?? Or maybe Gary has a pic of that smoking hot winch in action??

I just realized you said $26K!!!!!
The sticker price on that thing over 2 years ago was $25,900!!! and I have beat the junk out of it and took very poor care of it ( literally changed the oil 3 times in 28,000 miles) not to mention as it sits there is only about $2,500 of aftermarket parts/tires
RC 4" lift ~$750
body ift ~$80
Tires ~ $1500
CAI $225
Magnaflow Muffler w/ ghetto install $125
So there you have it a base model X that is 2 years old for more than MSRP!!!

I'm stoked about the top swap. It make take me a few weeks to gather the different pieces, but I love the look of the windjammer/duster/bikini. I think that setup is sweet. Definately different. I hope to mod the hell out of the Jeep this summer, but we will see. All the fun parts cost money, which I'm really short on right now

I dont know if I agree with what they're saying, but interesting none the less.
