Dude and Bro do a JK for $2700
I just finished watching the TruckU show on Speed. Pretty interesting for but they FLY thru the installations. I wish it was that easy when I do my JK on weekends. Worth catching... 
Episode 310: Jeep With a Budget
We've got $2,700. What can we do to a new JK that already has a lift upgrade, new wheels and tires, and a winch? Find out as Matt and Bruno transform this Jeep on a Budget.

"Jeep with a budget" implies you're taking either a stock Jeep, or a beater you picked up for next to nothing, and modding it from there.
"Already has a lift, new wheels/tires and a winch." WTF! That's a couple thousand right there!
Add that to the $2700 they said they will spend and you're no longer on a "budget".
Plus the shows don't really show the installs, it's more like a couple guys posing and trying to sound extra-cool by using the latest slang and catch phrases, all while making sure their sponser's names are mentioned as much as possible.
Damn..I miss the first season of Overhaulin'

Ok, I'm sorry but this is getting pretty stupid.

I agree, I saw that one and I was like "WTF??" But some of their shows are ok, while others are like this one.
Monster garage was always pretty cool, but my all-time favorite is still Stacy David. He was awesome on trucks and I like his new show gearz. He usually takes the time to really explain how he is doing stuff. Plus you gotta love his Good O'le Boy, car guy attitude. "Get out there and build something!"

Dude and Bro.
The Jeep on the show had some work done on the front bumper before the show. On the show the guys installed a new cold air intake, exhaust, Unichip and new fender which were painted to match the JK (really nice). When I got my JK the first thing I did was to install the air intake and exhaust....even before the new radio or tires. My first problem was when I first drove my JK on a highway and tried to pass someoneon a hill, the JK had no power. I realized that something needed to be done and before I did any cosmetical work I knew I had to get some HP before I killed myself...now that I have juice I can get the looks...or is it me?
