Depends on the build version.

V 1.0 - was about $4K to $5K
V 2.0 - I don't even want to think about.

I have spent $0 on mods/upgrades. I got that out of my system on my past Jeeps. Also helps to start with a Rubi...

Hence why a Jeep is like a Barbie doll for men. We waste all of our damn money buying the accessories.

I'm just under 2K untill I start replacing the stuff that isn't looking too happy. Have a very very long list of needs. But the gotta have real soon list is growing adding some items that I didn't intend on. I may have bent a few things... but nothing is broken... YET!
