sh.t NO!
I ordered skid plates for it today, they will be installed before I pick it
up.
Going to get the light bar as soon as I can afford it then keep looking to
see what can be done for power mods.
I am gonna PLAY with it! Mud, hills, snow.
I can hardly wait to drive a vehicle that doesn't have to swerve to miss the
roadkill.
I used to drive 4x4s then got into the convertible thing, now ready to go
play mud again. Had a pair of CJ5 jeeps, they were fun but whoo hoo scarey
at times.
I am getting more and more excited all the time

Since you are now a fellow SUV owner you are required to create roadkill. ;)

Well if you are going to do some serious 4x4ing you had better plan on
buying a winch for that puppy. You may not need it every day but having it
there sure changes your perspective on where you can go. Also you will find
that because it's there you will get into trouble that you otherwise
wouldn't have but hell, that's half the fun. My other driver is a Durango
4x4 with the 5.9l including the necessary skid plates.

Also, you have to get your head around the idea that scraped the paint is a
given. Not necessarily down to the primer but bad enough that it will take a
few (many) hours cut polishing back to its almost original luster. I'd
suggest a good set of chains for all 4 corners but the last time I chained
up I ended up somewhere that presented a unbelievable challenge on the way
back.

It will take me awhile before I am ready for that.
I have driven cars now for umm.... 10 years.

nope, they don't BUT it has a pop top.

Was that to ease the transition from a drop top? I've had a few vehicles
over the years with holes in the roof but you know what, that slider that
covers them was seldom pulled back. All that sun isn't the same as when
driving a convertible.
Have fun!!!

And you DO know that you are NOT supposed to stick your head out
that hole and wave your arms while seeing how much you can make your
lips flap in the wind. At least not while you are driving...
