Skoal recently had a giveaway of a new Jeep built by Starwood Motors. Completely customized with all the goodies (Kevlar paint?). "Retail value" of over $100k. Also included are kayaks, tents, & other camping stuff. Total retail was over $125k.
A friend of mine's son won the thing. Problem is, he is in his early 20's, has had some driving issues, and currently has a restricted license. The insurance is out of sight. AND, although they gave him $37k for taxes, it isn't enough. SO, it has to go. It was delivered to him a couple weeks ago & is now sitting in his garage. 0 miles. He is going to work with Starwood Motors to sell it, but that costs money, & if it interests you, there is money to be saved.
Here is a link to one of their "project builds".

It may actually be this vehicle, or one very similar. I'm not sure as I haven't seen it in person.
Anyway, if this is inline of what you are looking for, PM me. I will connect you. He is getting ready to ship it back to Texas for selling it, but it is in Minnesota right now.

One good thing about a Wrangler, your never tempted to drive far enough over a posted speed limit to make the possibility of getting a speeding ticket a reality if you have any sane bones in your body. Then there is the old saying....JEEP....stands for Just Empty Every Pocket and this can be true on a relatively stock Jeep too.

A basic Rubicon wont be too bad, least not any worse than some of the trucks ive driven over the years....but ima keep it simple kinda guy, well, cept for the camaro...wait, it rains here? haha
