    This is just what it sounds like. A limited run edition of our favorite SUV created and designed after a FPS video game. Black inside and out, with Mopar fuel doors and taillamp guards, a black exterior with Call of Duty: Black Ops logos on the roof and front quarter panels and Rubicon wheels in a high-gloss Mineral Gray with 32-inch off-road tires. This is amazing, and you don’t have to be a fan of COD to love it. $31,000-$33,500. NC
