I bought my 04 Sahara with the duel top tax title and tags for $22,500 and
sold the hard top for $1500. I guess it is no difference in buying a BMW or
Mercedes or Jag in the states they are pricy but in their native land they
are reasonable.

Hey Bill, that's cheap! I was curious about insurance in Kalifornia since
everything is else is so ungodly expensive. I see you still have your 'bird
which reminds me of a question I had for you... would a 9" from a '56 bird
be a good jeep swap (XJ,TJ,YJ). One available here for $300, not sure of the
gears though.

You could get one of these. They probably insure
for a lot less than a jeep. And maneuver better too. ;)
