lol you have Jeepitis.

 

I just paid off over $20,000 in credit card debt and unsecured loans. Be careful what you do with all the CC offers you get. I was takin out loans just to make payments on other ones and basic necessities. It'll work for a while, then you get to the point of bankruptcy. My advice is to pay off what you ordered and save patiently for what you want( I know it's hard ) Or you could mod the hell out of it then file for bankruptcy and agree to keep the note for your jeep. Save about $750 for the lawyer on your CC for a cash withdrawl to pay him before you file Disclaimer- I in no way reccomnd this approach, but...

 

Save up and do some mods, looks like you love it, so i don't see why would you want to spend the money you don't have....

 

the credit card idea is a bad one, take advice from the experienced.

 

I'm a miser when it comes to mods, because I keep thinking of other stuff that the money "makes more sense" being spent on... like a downpayment on my next house when the wife and I are ready to sell our condo and move...

Bottom line: They say that the average American has $12,000 in credit card debt. Do you think that they waited to buy something until they had the money, or charged it and never looked back? Don't be TOO impetuous: You don't know what tomorrow will hold, but you can probably guess that it's going to cost you!

 

IMO, I think all the guys that say to wait of save up for mods are right, and debt is a bad thing. Bottom line is that your going to do what you want and I don't think it matters what we say. I want so many things for my JK but something aways comes up. I'm going to show mine this summer and take pics with me to the shows of my Jeep at Disney, OK rock climbing and muddy and everything...lol. I want a winch, bumpers, lift,gears, and some interior mods like new seats, but in my case I am going to put back $50 or so a week until the day comes that I can mod the crap out of my JK . It sucks when you have a home,family, and a '07 JK, '01 cc dakota with 30 grand in mods and a '06 civic si fully modded. I'll just say from past experince... that the modding NEVER ends.

 

I am actually in the process of finding a house ,thats why I just wanted to get a couple things and I would pay it off by the spring I just dont have the chunk all at once. Once I have a mortgage(correct spelling?) I won't have much cash to play with. I am actually surprised that you guys actually care that I dont put myself in debt ,thanks for that.

I have been through alot of car modding in the past,this is just my first off-road project, I've done the import thing, still have a muscle car/race car.

 

I was joking bout the bankruptcy thing, not a good way to go.

 

I know that, I've been in collections before it's not a fun time at all.

 

That's why we are all here, to give the best advice we can and to meet people and talk Jeeps and go wheeling. Everyone on this board wants to mod their JK, if they say no there either lieing or lieing to themselves... . I don't know about everyone else because I can't speak for everyone but I don't want to see anyone lose their Jeep because they mod like crazy...lol...you said you weren't. Your house should come first and the JK can wait and will be there for awhile.

Now back to the muscle car...lol...they are fun aren't they? I had a 67 Chevelle SS 396 and I still have my 1967 Chevy P/K that I had sense I was 16...been mine 10 years....very fun to have something that I never got a chance to see new, way before my time, its kinda crazy even....now back to JK's...
