[poomba]

Including purchase price of 1k....$40,000 give or take a tank of gas...and ya know..looking at that, I'm kinda feeling sick too. ig: heh..ah hell..ya gotta spend it on something, and a jeep doesn't make you put the lid seat down when you're done.... :gag:
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 ), 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 But hell, I got two t-shirts out of the deal, so I'm not bitchin'.

 

[Ludakris]

89' 2DR $800
Nearly new 30's $200
stuff $382

total $1382
and its not inspected and tagged yet!
I plan on another $2000 to have a competant trail rig.

As far as size? I am building this so I dont have to beat on the 02' dakota ($25,000) any more.

I would be broke if the wife didnt try to keep me in check....

by the time you factor in duty and shipping from the states across the border, and the markup if you get someone else to order it for you, it comes out to roughly double.

I thought the exchange rate was $1.30CA to $1.00US?

 

[Darky]

bout 5 thou, including 2 sets of wheels and tires and the purchase price

 

[vintagespeed]

Yeah too much.

'89 Junk 8 years ago, $10,000

This years mods about $5000

I dont even want to think about how much I've spent over the many years of lifts, lockers, axles & misc mods.

[rocwrlr]

ive always thought of my jeeps as a fire im smothering with cash.

 

[muduck18]

:repair: um what? Money?

yeah, I have spent alittle...

3200 on the 96 with 72,000mi on it... thought it was a steal turns out it had no steel...
So i put a new floor in it...
and a lift
and bumpers
so
about 6k and climbing...

 

[THE_OWL]

I bought my 87 in 1992 for $9500
sadly over the years Ive changed my mind and fixed all the stuff that breaks when u add a SBC.
Im guessing around $35k in it as it sits.

 

[bshaw]

XJ=$3500 last Oct.

Mods(all done myself)=approx. $3000+ since this Feb.

Total= $6500+

Got so much MORE I want to do, but not enough money coming in fast enough. Just have to be patient I guess.

:cheers:

 

[BlueGerbil]

Around 12k $.

Plans for another 15k $.

Everything is f...ing expensive over here.

 

[Redcbr007]

man this tread turned out great, now my wife isnt mad anymore. After se saw that me spending about 10k isnt anything hehehe

-Red

 

[BornAgainXJer]

Purchased 95' 5 years ago for 10k and put about 4k into it 2 years ago and in the past 3 months I probably put about another 3 - 4k into it with plans that will be at least 5 - 6k in the next year.

So right now I would say I am 18k in the hole...........

Take a look at the sig

 

[jgai11bb]

Hell I work every summer just to drain my bank account at the end of each summer just to buy jeep stuff.
