Thirty one thousand dollars, Who has that kind of “Play money” to spend on a Jeep, I don’t. INSANE!!!
I just threw 31K on a JK. Rubicon I feel I made a better deal.
Nice jeep ! I have one too .
I’m looking for the twin Vickers to go with it .
If you know of someone who is selling some good replicas I would appreciate the information !
Thanks and have a great day .

Maybe the lrdg.org group would have ideas:
