At least no one can say that jeep owners are not contributing the economy. Lots of jobs are safe because of us

My Jeep was builtup by the the prior owner...
Spent 6 months on craigslist looking for a perfect model.
I'm sure he took a 10k+ hit on the sale.

You let the previous owner build it up.

I only added a Smittybilt Stinger and Winch and lots of GAS!!!
Been wheeling 3 weekends a month.

I think the average on mods would be more like $1000 so my guess is around $38 million
Yea...I already have 15k into mine. I have done a long arm kit or d60 or supercharged 7.2 hemi. We still have a ways to go

Heck, I'm RE-MODDING !!!

I've decided to get a different front bumper, and winch. That's to replace the Smittybilt stuff there now. I'm going to get some different auxiliary lights (PIAA).

I'm going to get the OR-Fab spare tire carrier. I installed the Olympic spare carrier this summer, I just like the OR-Fab carrier better.

Just replaced the front driveshaft...on and on $$$$$$

I have all the receipts but I am afraid to add them up. I might shock myself into a heart attack. Haha. I too have started to re-mod. New front bumper shorty for extreme off road-ing

Well just take a good look at all the vehicles at SEMA this week and you will get a good idea of what is spent on aftermarket parts. Heck i have a $7K list and haven't even ordered my JK yet

This is a good question, and I was going to guess $10M, but you guys are right, it is probably closer to $50M. That is a lot of tacos!!

I can think of $4K just with Northridge alone....
