How empty are your pockets?

Just thought I'd see what I've got myself into. How much cash have YOU put into your rig and/or daily driver? Maybe include a pic of your hard earned money in Jeep form!

I spent over $10K on the stock Jeep itself. Does that count?

It was 2+ years old with about 30K on the clock. I drove it for about 7 years as a daily driver before I started modding it.
 
Having built a couple now, I'd say expect to spend about 10K-12K over a few years to build a pretty decent but modest trail rig that drives nice on the highway.

If you really get into it, you can easily spend 2-3 times that.

Ballpark 40K on the last jeep..

A racecar yes, but a surprising amount of that expense would have gone into an equivalent built trail rig without the race specific parts.

Its certainly cheaper to buy a rig that is already built, but a lot more satisfying to build it yourself.
