The Jeep Wrangler, called the "Chelsea Truck Company Jeep Wrangler CJ400 protest edition," is described as "the perfect vehicle [in which] to take refuge from an angry mob, or hostile government forces” by Driving. The CJ400 protest edition will reportedly be a righthand-drive vehicle decked out with sparkling and slotted 3D mesh grille on the front, black ceramic quad crosshair exhaust pipes and LED headlights. The headlights and rear window have the option of being customized with bulletproof glass. The Jeep’s interior seats are fitted with quilted black leather, the glove box and door armrests are designed to match.

| #9 Comes from driving though the gate without opening it first. I'm pretty sure we left it open on the way to the ice house last night. Mostly pretty sure. |

| #7 I've seen more than one gate mounted on the front a pickup. Not intentionally, though. Comes from driving though the gate without opening it first. |

| #5 ^ We Idahoans are an inventive lot. You have to be when often the only person you can count on is you. |

| #4 In Idaho, some with long night drives on country roads (Hailey to Boise, in this case) attached a length of chain link fence, often just a gate, to their front bumper, reinforced with varying degrees of ingenuity. Details usually depended on their target speed, this for 25mph, and that for 45mph. Typically a 4WD F-250 or something similar. I imagine it would be easy to weave various things into that for low speed adventures. Anti-elk/Cow stuff. This wheel has been invented, but hard to imagine on ritzy urban trucks, that seem half RV and half BMW. |

| #3 Is there a cow-catcher in place of a front bumper as well? To clear road-blocks... |

| #2 There is always a flame thrower option, silly Anomalous Sources, though you’ll probably have to go to a specialty repair shop to get it done. |
