Default My name is MoWrangler and I am a mod-a-holic...

I had a slow day at work and thought I'd add up how much I've spent on mods since I got this thing. Counting the bumpers on order that have not yet arrived and the Rubicon tires/wheels I hope to install in the next week, I have spent a grand total of $6,246 since I picked this thing up in mid-March. That is more than I have spent on my mortgage in the same 6 months! To put it in perspective, if my jeep was a smoking habit and cigarettes were $4/pack, I would be smoking almost 9 packs A DAY!

Anyone want to start a support group?

Look at it this way: You only have about $12,000.00 to go. Unless you want a Hemi?

Boy ain't that the truth... I haven't even started on the expensive mods yet. The hemi is quite a ways down the list, but I am budgeting a couple grand for armor and rails in 09, and if the annual raise is good I might see lockers, regear, and wheels/tires. However, I may just opt to get the rubicon axles rather than paying someone else to regear and do lockers.

If I won $12K tomorrow, it would be spent before I make it back to work on Tuesday!

Yeah... you guys get to do it on the company dime, though, right? If so, any vendors looking for a software engineer?
