Absolutely Fantastic!! Solves many of the problems that have kept me from considering previously available WK2 upgrades. Roof rack will probably be my first choice to install. The increased weight it can carry is what is so seriously needed. I agree with a previous post that a gate for spare tire on the rear bumper would be a good option. Only thing I'm truly scared of, since I'm in the States, is the price for the bumper upgrades. I'm sure it's worth whatever it costs. Just don't want to end up turning my WK2 into a Rubicon for more money than what a Rubicon costs!

Monocoque Body with Built-in Ladder Frame They say that superior off-road handling capability could only come at the expense of on-road smoothness. They have obviously never driven Grand Cherokee . By incorporating a lightweight and highly rigid monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame that provides added resistance to torsion and flexing and fixing them atop a dynamic independent suspension, Grand Cherokee achieves an unprecedented combination of all-terrain control and luxury-sedan comfort. For added durability, grand cherokee now makes more extensive use of galvanized steel body panels, while the new aluminum hood panel reduces weight for better handling.

Better yet, get a old school XJ, ZJ or even WJ and make it a beast. But I get it, those aren't as comfortable to drive and they don't have a bunch of fancy extras.
