i know what you mean. I am 15k into the upfit and am getting ready to put on the jcr fenders, liners and bed molle set up. There goes another 2k. My wife is loving this. We are getting a custom exhaust system next week. Then it will be louder than a Prius.
We got our first one as we were leaving the dealership. Just after I reminded my wife about our last jeep and how many rocks hit the windshield. 5 minutes later nice rock chip. We just looked at each other and smiled. Gotta love jeeps.
15k into this upfit and almost finished with the cosmetics. Now for the performance upgrades. My wife is loving this. Every morning on the beach for sunrise and back for sunset. Happy wife Happy life.
