I also am drawn to the (LED?) lights that are built into the roof rails and crossbars: Also, in the interior pic notice that there are 3 pedals -- a manual transmission?   Andrew Maier (Newman) Senior Member Username: Newman Post Number: 511 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Friday, January 16, 2004 - 04:44 pm:    Here's the interior pic:   Robb Sundmaker (Robb) Member Username: Robb Post Number: 128 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, January 16, 2004 - 09:29 pm:    Take off that rear bumper and put on a modified steel bumper and you have a great departure angle. If it is affordable I for one will be buying it. I was looking at a 2004 Discovery down the road since it will be the last real Discovery but this thing looks sweet and seems to be quite functional. Now go ahead and tear me a new one.   Brian Dickens (Bri) Senior Member Username: Bri Post Number: 998 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Friday, January 16, 2004 - 10:52 pm:    Nice but,   Alen Babayan (Alen) Member Username: Alen Post Number: 74 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2004 - 12:08 am:    "Cummins 5.9", WOW.   Paul D.

It has a longer wheelbase to incorporate more leg room for us taller people.   BJ Turner (Wturner) Member Username: Wturner Post Number: 245 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2004 - 07:43 pm:    �Jeep Rescue is the supreme trail search and research vehicle � one that only Jeep could build, � said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President � Chrysler Group Design. Apperently so these days!!   Zin Head (Zinhead) New Member Username: Zinhead Post Number: 23 Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2004 - 09:06 pm:    123 inch wheelbase? That thing is huge. It would be nice if Jeep made it, but the production version would be closer to Durango than the show car.   M. K.
