How much have you spent on your XJ?

$800 is the total damage for everything. Most was bought used, but in good condition. The CB was a gift from my girlfriend. How do ya think I did?

[MAKsXJ]

well... 13,800 for the 2001 XJ itself(Jan 21) + 290ish for rocksliders + 450 on skids + 100 in metal for my roofrack and $? for powdercoating it( building it myself)(pics to come soon)... more to come...

 

[94XJ4x4]

i would guess around 2500 - 3000 for the lift, wheels and tires, broken parts, steering and trac bar braces, braking system,... i think thats about it. its still fairly stock. 4.5" lift and 33's.... on stock axles with stock gearing. Im about to buy around another 550 worth of tires too. haha.

 

[92jeeper]

$4,000 for the Jeep
$1850 for lift, tires/wheels, and ARB BullBar
$500 for Custom4x4 fab bumper and carrier
$500 on stereo equipment
$300 on lights

So, a grand total of about
$7150

30,000 or better

holy asslove batman! thats alot of money, and this is a oooooooold thread.

i have about 8k in mine, including buying it for 5k when it had 30,000 miles on it

oh and anyone with a K&N filter on your rig.. throw it in the trash if you wheel in any area that kicks up dust. they are worthless pieces of crap.

 

[Starboard M]

30,000 or better

Is that in 2005 money, or 2008 money?

 

[GrimmJeeper]

Is that in 2005 money, or 2008 money?

2008 and money dont exactly go together

 

[ManBearPig]

I threw together my 4" lift for about $210. Got ZJ Canyon wheels for free, 34" Trxus MT's for free, 8.25 axle for $170, Factory tow hook brackets for $40, 2" bolt on spacers for free.

Had some cool stuff when I bought it for $200 like rear hitch, front skidplate, JVC head unit w/ extra speakers.
