They are modular, and can be re-configured into what you want. In my case, I added the slantback hardtop with turret ring and gun mount on top, and military bucket seats.
When I fill it, I often get comments from guys that it must guzzle fuel. I reply that it is a Humvee....who cares.
Whomever wins this will enjoy it. It will not be often that you will wave at another on the road. I have parked mine next to a pink and another in purple Hummers at the Canex. I wouldn't trade mine for both of the others together.
