Default Are You Done Yet??

No, that's not what she said...

Are you done building up your rig yet? Every time I think I'm done, I see the Quadratec catalog and find something else I want to do. So I thought I'd start a poll to see how you feel about your Jeep and is there really such a thing as "I'm DONE!", or is it just an urban myth?

Totally an urban myth! There's no "being done!". I'm the same way, I'll do a
List of mods and then I'll say I'm done and before you know it I have another list that's longer than the first!

I don't think done can be used in the same sentence as my jeep.

Have to agree, I don't think you are ever done! Maybe after a few big projects you can limit it to cheaper upgrades, but once that Quadratec catalog hits the mailbox, I am reminded of several more things I want to put on my jeep!

Not that you can ever be done with a Jeep, but here is what I need for the remainder of my projects.

1) Gears - 5.38's already sitting in my garage, just needs installing ($800-1300)
2) Hydraulic RAM Assist ($1700)
3) Suck down winch - ATV winch already sitting in my garage or might use my M8000 and figure a way to use my front winch ($200 or less)
4) Need a 20'-28'Gooseneck trailer to trailer my toy to the playground ($10K by the time I have all I want on it, generator, welder, enclosed sleeping area)
5) Beef up my rear axle - sleeves and truss ($150)
6) Ripps Supercharger ($5K)

Should be done after that, probably need to sell my second kidney.

There is a way to be done buy a jeep and never touch it , the moment you upgrade anything it becomes a slippery slope , because one upgrade leads to another and another

What's the fun in keeping it stock, unless you never wheel it. I bought and built mine to try and keep up with the buggies that go out wheeling. I know I impress the crap out of them when we hit the trails, as most still don't truly respect the JK. Keep in mind, it's only money, you can't take it with you when you die.
But the statement is true above, once you start, it is hard to stop the habbit.

I thought I was done after I purchased my Superchips this past summer.
Then I went on an epic trip through Colorado and to Moab.
I started a list of mods before I got back home.
Now the list has become a huge research project. I have to find a stopping point. That's the trick.

Very close to done. A few minor tweaks and changes, and a fuel tank skid left to do.

Focusing more on camping setup and utility/expo trailer now.
