It does put a smile on your face.  But for some reason, the exposed gas cap bothers me.  Too tempting for gas thieves, maybe?

Wife has had hers for 11 years....never had an issue.
Lighten up Francis.....

Or maybe it looks unfinished.  I don't know.  :think:   A fancier cap, maybe?

Oh!  Well, that's much nicer than the pic in the review!  I didn't realize there were options.  I feel better now.  ;D  Thank you.

jeeps are modded aftermarket a huge amount... you can do anything to them (for a price)... some mods are superficial and just help with exactly what you are mentioning (something that just doesn't look/feel right to the buyer) and others are pure performance based...

I find the gas covers are purchased by about 25% of jeep buyers. rubber mats are on like 65%... new wheels/tires about 7%... lifts about 2%. nearly 100% have *something* done.. even if it's just swapping an antenna, painting a tow hook, adding some decals, aftermarket side steps, grill inserts... something.

Speaking of which... I've got a bag to roll up the windows in and then store across the folded soft top... do you want it? I can ship it to you. Here's the specs on it, read the pdf to see how it works http://www.ruggedridge.com/window-storage-bag-12107-05.html

but yeah.. if you are looking to offload it, let me know. i'll send you some payola and address and all that.
