I tend to get lucky and always come across good deals. I think I have about 2 grand into mine including the Jeep ($300) There's a pic floating around here somewhere.

I don't want to play this GAME. YOU get LOST thinking about how much i spent. Did i mention GAME?

 

[CaliXJ]

Ooooo man thats a tough one. Judging by the foot tall stack of reciepts (the ones that made it to the pile) in the garage.... Including original purchase of the jeep, $8K-$10K +/- Time, blood, sweat and frustrations building it far exceed that though.

Old colors

NOW!

My Jeep is pretty modest compared to the big boys out there, but I have some coin into it. Just how much, I'll never know; I refuse to add it up. The drive train wasn't cheap.

As someone else said My wife reads this, no way in hell am I putting up what I've spent. $5500 (she knows about that) for the intial purchase plus some upgrades and repairs. I'll take the rest to my grave. LOL

I paid $13K for my old 2000 XJ and dumped another $10K into it. Sold it a few years back for $5800.

Warn hubs
alloy shafts
DEO high steer
gears and locker
HP30 housing

$5K just in the front axle alone!

Started off with this

I'm here now 4" on 31's and in a few months I'm going to long arms and 34's

I paid $1800 for my 89 cherokee Laredo
$300 for rear lock rite
$250 for Dana 44
$300? In material for bumper roof rack and sliders
$1250 rims and tires
$130 for lca's
$60 for front/rear bar pin eliminators,
$30 for front shock top conversion piece
$425 for 5150 shocks
$200 for double sheer track bar
$35 for s-10 leafs
$99? For JKS shackles
$100 for extended brake lines
$30 2" coil spacers

Math in my head says roughly a little over $5000 so far and that doesn't count tune ups or part replacements and spare parts I've stock piled :gee:

That's basically it, I'm not counting tuneups or broken stuff cuz that would take forever!
But come January when my oilfield job picks back up I'm goin iron rock offroad long arms new 4" coils, currie steering, better diff covers, Dana 44 truss, shackle relocation brackets rock rings for my steelies and 34x1050 super swamper LTB's
Be another$2000 before tires and rings...

Mr Anderson mines very basic I think and $5000 was really easy to drop into this jeep... On a side note I PAID $7000 for my first jeep and that was bone stock too for a 2000 so being $7000 into it mostly finished(it will never be finished) will feel pretty good lol
