dang, they are that rare? i passed buying one a few months ago because of the ugly interior. it was the green exterior with ugly green tan red interior. i thought htey were all v8s though so that made this one even more rare.

dang dang dang

I keep reading that the Orvis's came with a bit of armor but I can't find any pics or accurate descriptions. I did see an Orvis at the pull-a-part last time I was there and I found a gas tank skid laying on the ground behind another Jeep, but didn't know to look for anything else.

If I do happen to come across another Orvis at a junkyard, what armor am I looking for and would it fit my '95 Laredo with a 242 and 6cyl? yeah I know these questions are kinda noobish but every time I ask my bf he just rolls his eyes at me like I should know better... and then asks me to find parts for him.

They also had an engine skid plate, and they will fit any ZJ.
