I'm on a budget build also. Have 500 into my build. I keep wanting to sale my hard top but the boss puts her foot down on that one. It's either the hard top, no top or the jeep is gone.
I got my bumper for free, winch for free, and few parts that cost money. The winch was given to me by a customer of my bank that deals in used cars. A truck he bought had a hidden winch. And I went to visit it one day and I said I needed a winch. He brought it out. Set it on my bumper and said it looked good. I ask him how much. He said nothing.
But if I could sale the hard top it would free up other opportunities. But that will never happen. Here's a picture.
