How much money spent on your Jeep?
How much money have you spent in aftermarket parts on your Jeep? Here is my list.... I am sure lots of you will blow me out of the water but after just 6 and a half months I think I am doing alright.
(I remind you this is in Canadian Dollars)
2600 Tires and Rims
35 daystar dash panel
35 padded grips
80 floormats
190 reprogrammer
600 rocker guards
230 cb
50 towhooks
250 for lights
150 for mopar window bag
If my math is correct 4240.... not bad I'd say! anyone else?

This is gonna test my memory, but I'll give it a shot...
wheels - free
grabhandles - free
tires - $750
lift - $300
Bumper - $300
Discos - $100
Rock Rails - $100
Lights - $65
Headlight Guards - $40
Bugshield - $80
Skidplate - $50
Flowmaster - $133
I think that's it....total: $1918 pretty cheap, huh?

Even when converted to US Dollars, that's still just over $2,000....I'm just curious why so much? I've had MTZ's, so I figure around $1000-$1200 for 5 including mounting/balancing, etc....and the wheels I've been looking at that are similar to yours would be around $350 for a set of 5, so total that's about $1300-$1500....I'm just hoping that was a miscalculation, because that seems kinda steep to me....just a thought.

It sucks not getting deals like you US Jeepers....we get raked over the coals for aftermarket accessories.
So for example MTZ tires:
For your $240/tire
add on
$50 for the dollar difference - Total Cdn - $290/tire then add
another $20/tire shipping/tire
another $25 for brokerage fees/tire
add $12.00 for GST/tire
add $20.00 for PST in BC/tire
your tire total in Canadian Dollars: $370.00/tire, but if you shop around you can maybe get it cheaper.
So for a set of 5 tires you are looking at $1850.00 for 5 tires then you add on balancing and mounting costs and eco fees and it should ring up near $1950 to $2000 for the 5 tires in Canadian Funds.
If you want to add rims....you are looking at another $850 to $2000 depending on brand and size. $2600 is pretty good for 5 wheels/rims and tires here in Canada.

Here in Canada we get hosed on tires......The Canadian dollar is at $0.79 to your $1 US also, you have to include shipping, brokerage fees & GST (5%) government sales tax and depending on which province you live in you can add another 5-10% for PST - provincial sales taxes.

Well let's see. Had it 60 days and spent about 5k in goodies. Now if I do a lift and new tires/wheels I would guess I'd sink another 5-7k into it.
The best part so far is installing all this stuff myself.
