I've been driving a basically stock Gladiator for three years (leveling kit, disconnects, tires).

But for most folks it gets out of hand, lol.
Is it really out of hand, if your mods double the price of the vehicle? Come on. It’s not triple. Yet.

I fully support frivolous Jeep spending - it just hasn't been in the cards for me yet 😄

I’m not sure it was in the cards. I just did it anyway. :) mental health spending.

I DO NOT want to add up of what I have in my JT. I did that once with my Nismo. Price of the car plus everything I put into it was 6 figures.

@Rusty PW , Yeah I didnt even add repair and 3rd set of wheels and tires and shocks . It would be around 16k extra . Which isnt even close to what I paid for it
So I think all toll im setting roughly at 26k which is half what I paid for it.

It’s potentially embarrassing, but my JT was well over 6 figures a while ago. Granted, it’s on its fourth revision I think. So lots of things have been cycled out or broken beyond repair.

Why not just have all of it?! My gladiator definitely daily drives much better than the two door. But the wrangler is way more fun to putt putt around in.

I'd buy another 2 door tomorrow if my wife didn't get sick riding in it. The short wheel base and her motion sickness are a bad combination. The longer wheel base of the 4 door doesn't affect her and I get more storage - win win..
