Including purchase price on a 98 XJ bought in 2002, roughly $25,000 Canadian (so about $1500 US) :o
So about $14,000 after purchase.
Everything costs about double up here...

OK, I was going to say not that much but I did some quick adding and realized that in the last 12 months I spent at least $4K on the jeep. Man that stuff adds up real quick! It doesn't include some money that I recovered when I sold some of hte stuff that I replaced.

Approximately a little under 4000. Bought my 87 for 1100 about a year ago as a daily driver/winter rig and have put some money into repairs, a moderate lift, some larger tires, a winch/bumper setup, and some skidplates. Most of my stuff I bought second-hand, with the exception of two of the tires, the lift, and some of the repair items.

September 8th, 2004, 11:35

Guess I should say, the only thing that won't have changed since I got it a year ago, will be the TC and the tranny, and the body, if you don't count dents.
Engine, bumpers, (front bumper 2x) upgrade to 60's, lift redone, to RE 5.5 or so, steering stuff (LCA's/UCA's 2x, going to long arm kit), track bar, radiator, tranny cooler, shocks, springs on front (2x), tires (2x), rims (going to 35's and beads), Tom Woods driveshaft/SYE (going to another type..I like Tom, just going a different direction..prolly toward banruptcy :P), Warn 9500 winch, (yay, I get a pair of gloves!), internal cage, chassis stiffeners (jeep viagra, I gather), fuel pump, battery (2x), 3 damned overflow bottles, and the usual stuff like new belts, hoses, flares and the like. Borla header, exhaust system redone..and um, forty-eleven ujoints, thank you, 4dyce :P But hell, I got two t-shirts out of the deal, so I'm not bitchin'.

Well, lets see, probably about 10k over the last ten years or so, which is pretty good all things considered. Some stuff is occasionally hard to find, being in Canada, but our dollar ain't doing too bad overall. I still hate to order anything from the US due to the exchange taxes and all. The way i look at this though is, I have a son out of wedlock whose mother blocked me from ever meeting, happened years ago when i was young and stupid. I did however have to pay maintenance and support for eighteen full years. I went over all of my receipts and stuff a few years back when he turned 18, and unbelievably the total was just shy of $230,000.00 CDN. So when i compare that, well, at least i get to wheel my jeep....

Buck :canada:

99 SPORT... $12000 2 years ago.. + another $2000 for the RE lift, GoodYears and TJ Canyons...

87 LIMITED... $400 ebay rig... B/boost and 30s and misc the first year $1000.. this year we added $1300 for a pile of RE stuff, $300 for the MT/Rs, $650 for the rear axle, another $350 to regear the front, est $300 misc repair/expenses, $500 for receiver hitches/skids/rockrails...
any more disclosure or accuracies will be too much of a wake up call...

I think I'm still NEGATIVE about a grand...

Got my old peice of s**t '90 for free. Wrecked it, and got $4000 from the insurance company. (It was barely worth a grand :D) Spent $2200 on my '96, so far about $800 in extras.

I'm a poor boy so I did mine on a tight budget.
86 (with the pretty good p.o.s.) 2.8 $1200
3.5" homebrew lift $100
m12 warn winch $230
used 33's $75
front d-shaft $50
new u bolts and misc pieces $70
sheet metal to fix all the rust that started showing 3 months after purchase $10 (van roof from wrecker)

tons of free stuff and help from friends
rubber for fender flares
steel for front and rear bumpers

total about $1735 (not too bad if i do say so myself)

Between $70,000 and 80,000, Cdn, including purchase price. Bought it new, took it to a custom shop and had it lifted and crap, then took it to the woods to beat on it. Brought it back to the dealer a month later, and their jaws hit the floor. It's been damaged and fixed a lot, and upgraded.
I love telling people it's a 2000. Not many folks believe me...

Boy...lots of expensive mods there, huh? I got my '89 XJ from my father-in-law for a steal...$2,500. Since, I've put a 3" Skyjacker lift, 31" BFG AT's, steel extended brake lines, and swaybar disco's. That's it for performance...the rest is stereo equipment, hi-lift jack, first aid kit, on-board air, etc. All in all, I'd say about $2,000 so far. My "to-do" list is currently at about $4,000, including a re-build on the 4.0 L engine (it has 247,000 original miles...needs some attention).

I'm at about $7300 total, out-of-pocket cost. That includes the purchase price of the vehicle and both sets of tires and rims I've purchased for it. It's a '93 with 108K on it right now, but has a salvage title from a wreck.

I started figuring it out once, but got scared and stopped when it broke $20,000cdn. That might not seem too bad untill you consider the fact that aside from the 4.10 axles it's completely stock. That's just the puchase cost ($7800) and the cost of repairs. This of course includes the $4800 to peice it back together after a friend drove it into some really big rocks at about 70km/h. This is for the '91 that I've owned since '97. I don't think our '89 (bought last spring) has cost us $3000 yet.
