I got the '05 S edition. Yes there are no skid plates however my dealer is putting on the Offroad package skids for no extra charge. As for power it beats my ol 2000 hands down. As for looks, I really don't give a damn what it looks like. It will be dirty most of the time anyway. I haven't had it offroad yet but will as soon as I get the skids on. Yes it has the Long Trails on it but the dealer is also switching those out for the Rugged Trails.

I will let y'all know how it does offroad without the locker or CIB. Of course, I didn't need the locker before and I had an A/T before so there really is not much of a comparison.
