I got home last night and ironically my wife made a comment about me spending $10,000 on modifications. I informed her that I was no where near $10,000... yet!

Default single life

no single life is not that bad. you get to do your own laundry and cooking. That ain't as bed as having to hear all that nagging and such. Oh yeah I can spend what ever my wallet will stand without having to hear it from anybody.

I can go hunting or to the bar without a kichen pass too.

Hi, m name is Erik, and I too, am a mod-a-holic. I just can't afford most of the mods I want. I have built my own front bumper. Getting ready to build my own undercarriage armor system and then on to the rear bumper! In addition to the BFG MTs I put on this week, oh and the removal of the gay X sticker, addition of the super cool, JK logo. The fog lights on the windshield, painting the stock 17s black, homemade cai, buil my own exhaust system........
I got a fever, and the only cure for that fever, is MORE JEEP PARTS!!!!!!!!!!

I stopped adding it up when I hit $12k because the guys kept ratting me out to my husband that I was not being entirely truthful about how much things cost.

I guess they figured if they were gonna get grief about it, so was I.



And there's still so much more I need to do still.

I'm a modaholic too, little over $5300 so far, guess it helps to do the work yourself. Wife says I look at the jk more than I look at her, I need help. That mod price doesn't include all the extra tools I've purchased though.Now, back to my and cruisin the forum for jeep porn pics!

Default My tally just went up again...

Warn M8000 gets here tomorrow, and Rock Hard Engine skid next week. I did promise myself this was the last purchase until next spring, but of course that doesn't include the rear bumper I have ordered but won't get for a few months and the lights to go with the brackets I just ordered...

Funny thing is, I told my wife I was taking the day off tomorrow. Her mother commented that it was nice we would be able to spend the day together and she commented about some Jeep project I would probably be doing or parts being delivered. Does she know me well or what?
