The best part is the Dana 44's with 40" tires.

For this kind of money, I'd rather have anything from the Icon 4x4 lineup, or -closer to what they did with this red jeep- an AEV "Brute Double Cab"...
But as I don't play the lottery I don't expect any of this to happen!

By the way, who throws 40 grand at a paint job on an off-road truck? I would be scared just by approaching the door handle with my hand... let alone leaving the garage with it!

How does a paint job cost "$40,000 custom paint job". Is there gold flake and diamonds in the paint :?: :?: :?: :?:

Complete garbage.....

I've had 44's fail rolling 33's on a YJ with a 258 straight-six.....this thing is destined to lose a steering knuckle when some schmoe takes some 35mph turn at 38 on the road.

Hey, didn't Red Jacket recently have some squabbles over their firearms manufacture permit? I guess that stuff gets swept under the rug when you have a hit TV show.

Saw one similar at the local Jeep dealer but it was only $75K. It was painted bright orange.
Spent several seconds trying to figure how/why it cost that much.
Has a small cab, very little back area to haul anything but, a very nice stereo system.

Maybe the stereo is a waterproof Harman-Kardon worth $20K, etc.?

Even on some of my restorations of cars worth north of 100k have I have never paid that type of money for paint. Crazy fab and restoration body work and paint maybe but not just a paint job. Especialy on a kit car that gets painted before being assembled...
I guess when you got money to blow from your newly found fame there will be people ready to happly rip you off.

Well, when you got money to blow from anywhere, people are happy to rip you off.
