    I remember someone mentioning that in an earlier thread, but unfortunately my search skills are failing me. Remind me what the production count was?

    From what I have gathered, there were only 1500 imported to the US over the entire Trooper RS era. That would 85-95 IIRC. I am sure there are some expert Zu statisticians that give the exact numbers. I know I have only seen 4 RS in my life: Swedes, another one at Moab, I can't remember her name, but it was a second gen, my wife's and Matt from Indy4x4 brought his out to the last URE meet.

    VXs I have spotted around town, and whatnot. Never an RS!!!

    As for helping swede's wipers, I offered, I found some at a junkyard that were in working condition, he said he didn't need em I took em for the blades for the wife's. Hers work now, good blades, squirters and so on.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Still seems like you'd want to protect the VX first since it shares no external body panels, lights, or glass (possibly excluding the front) with any other vehicle. Sure there were only 1500 RS's, but there were hundreds of thousands (maybe more) Troopers with compatible body parts made during that time. Seems like the only thing that would be unique to the RS would be the doors (often longer than on four door vehicles, but maybe not) and rear quarter panel.
