I like the looks of it, for sure. But way too expensive. Never did know the purpose for the wire running from the bumper to the roof rack. What's that for?

And, it doesn't say whether or not it's got any real work done to it mechanically, like gears, lockers, suspension, etc.

Is it just a pageant queen?

They are called Limb Risers, and just like Robmcin said they keep tree branches from breaking your windshield.
All they are is thin cable, like cloths line cable, you can make your own for cheap.
UrbanPanzer has a write up on it on his home page.

would you have to remove the rack every time you wanted to get the hood open? and would the hood even support any weight - if you couldnt stack anything on it whats the point of having a rack there anyway?

its too expensive, its too ugly, and its got too much **** on it - I LOVE IT!
