what would you do??

[Apostle]

first thing i would do is buy your wife some flowers

Guess it all depends on what you want. I just want something to explore with...

and he wants some thing reliable and "my Jeep will hopefully be very capable "
so 'exploration rig' ideas arent going to be very fitting

beadlocks - 250
35's - (will be) 650
gears locker - 600
custom 4 link (as mentioned above) - about 750-800
winch - 400
cage - 400

thats about 3 grand to have what you want if you use the resources available to you here (and other sites) and by shopping craigs.
it will be YOUR jeep with the parts YOU wanted and set up like YOU like it.
dont put someone else junk on your jeep and say its yours, make it yours.

anyone can buy a jeep with parts on it


but thats me

So Mike where the heck can I get parts for these prices??? if you know somwhere I don't Im totally going to pay you to be build adviosr!!!

 

[in4aride]

those are either prices i have paid in past year or what i have looked up for pricing in last 30 days....
its there. just gotta look and do some digging

Hey, I'm just trying to spend 7k before I change my mind.

Quoted for truth!

Welder, bender, notcher. You'll thank me later.

My advise would be to have patience , throw one or two things on at a time so you can gauge where your going with your project , that way you can change direction during the process and decide to build something else that might suit your needs . I like the satisfaction of building my truck how I want but in the end I'll have more money in it .

I would buy Hollis'es rig and swap it all to yours

Yeah, what he said!

 

[Frank Z]

Gotta disagree with that option. Ryan can do a lot with his budget and get exactly waht he wants. Why spend $8k on a rolled rig and not get the upgrades of your choice?

 

[Clayton Off Road]

You know you want your XJ to do this.

And this

New 3 link kit.

[jeepdude25]

Holy Crap!!! that is freakin sweet

 

[old_man]

That is a shameless plug for a really nice piece of hardware :gee:

 

[eflores]

hurry some one ask Led if he's jealous

 

[eflores]

[in4aride]

hurry some one ask Led if he's jealous

Why would he be jealous? Led likes to go on trails not play on ramps in a parking lot. ..!....!..

What would I do with $7k? Answer my PMs and voicemail.
