I'm just guessing here, but I think the producers gathered all the truck in Moab for one last promo shot and from there they ended up in private hands or dealers.
I know mine had a copy of the shipping paper from Costa Rica to LA port. This truck is more traveled than me.

Send me a PM and I'll tell you the exact price. It was a steal actually. I played the old "eager guy vs. pissed off wife angle". Works every time. Plus they probably couldn't sell a new truck that had been modded to anyone who could afford it and Vice Versa, if you know what I mean? And mileage...not so good. Since the lift it's coming in around 16-17mpg. Ouch! But how do you wheel in a Prius? Pay to Play.

question about mounting...
alright , one of the biggest questions i have now is, "How does it mount to the truck?" .... i have seen JAOS quality wheni was in japan... so i know it's awesome.. and it still even expensive over there... but , recently when i bought my grill/brush guard from ram offroad.. this thing just mounts so crappy to my front bumper.. i litteraly want to throw it away... after a day of wheeling in california..the top mounts broke in half when they bolt to the bumper.... then i didn't notice it right away, i hear a banging noise when i was going down the road... IT WAS THE BRUSH GUARD KNOCKING AGAINST THE FENDERS RUBBING OFF THE PAINT TOO... i was so pissed... so i hack off the brush gaurd mounts and then it just didn't look right for some reason... so i am trashing it....
i just wonder how the JAOS mounts to a 4th gen.... anyone have one with pics of how it mounts and it's bracketry?
thanks

Safari Gard made this grill gard. It's only integrated with the winch in terms of how the fit of the gard is custom for clearance of the fairlead. Here are some pics of how it has been mounted to the front of the frame.

manik grill guard on '04
I have heard good things about Manik products and could afford their black front grill guard for my '04 Limited.
I think this guard fits well and gives the front end a nice look along with some protection up here in deer country.
The Manik attaches to the truck in three places (most attach in just two places) and is very stable; it moves forward to allow you to open the hood.
Here are a few pictures for your perusal.

I don't think a Manik grill guard that attaches with cantileavered support will provide any protection if you hit a 110lb deer doing more than 5mph.

Sorry it took so long to reply! I neber got the email notification.
I have bunch of pictures of how it mounts. Send me an email if you want to see the mounting pics. There are 6 mounts for the bull bar and 4 for the center protector.

Very interesting winch setup. Is it mounted directly to the frame? Looks like it completely sits inside the stock bumper.
