This is pretty lame....back up
 
Back up.

Dont mean to be a jerk: For those sending messages to me about offering $7500 b/c there's some 97s on here going for that amount....you're a joke.

Come with some serious offers and then we can talk. Stop wasting my time and yours.

Thanks.
 
How is the interior noise with no carpet? Between the tires and no carpet just wondering how the roar is going down the highway.
 
I just want to make you feel better. I really want this thing, but I just dumped a buttload of money into my 40 at Proffitt's. It's unfortunate that I haven't gotten past the security contractor bug, or I would probably black out and buy it, wondering what happened in the morning. I don't think anyone's avoiding it because it sucks. Secretly, I hope you don't sell it until I can come up with more disposable funds. GLWS, brah.

Glad you ask. I had HUGE hesitation about taking the carpet out for just that reason. There has been a slight increase in road noise. Most noticable at the rear of the vehicle, as that is where a bulk of the noise deadening barrier was located. I can say that after a long sun up to sun down trail ride I don't mind the difference in road noise.

This is the second set of Iroks I have driven to and from the trail. Personally, I think they get a bad wrap for road noise. I find them to be an excellent balance for road noise vs trail purpose on the market BUT as we all know there are many opinions about this.

Hey! You can always crank up the tunes, roll the windows down, hang the arm out the window and enjoy the ride!

Your sig sounds like a DREAM 40!

It's not that I came into this with the expectation it would sell instantly. It's a purpose built rig with more upgrades than most guys need or want. I just have gotten really sick about the crap PMs and offers received by obvious novice forum members not having an idea of what's in this package.

Never know! May still be available when you have the ability to grab it up!

Thanks for the bump!
