New guy, new Jeep and already spending $$

[emoney]

Took me a while in life but finally got something solely for myself. I had always wanted a Jeep, but there was too much need for a truck. Along came the Gladiator. She's pretty stock but that probably won't last long;

Wheel shopping has begun and I'll probably just do a leveling kit. But, you'll be happy to know I spent my first afternoon with it ordering stuff. First upgrade was to get some seat covers so the daily summer rain won't totally ruin my interior when the top is off.

Took some effort to install but for under $200 on Amazon not a bad fit at all;

Time will tell how well they hold up. I think I did this first because the wheels/tires/lift are going to "hurt my feelings".
Thanks for having me!

My suggestion is to delete your profile and never check the forum again, you'll spend too much money lol. Seriously welcome and enjoy your new Jeep. There is so much good information here and people willing to help with any questions you may have.

I spent $850 on the day I brought mine home. Weathertech floor liners and vent shades. The auto stop eliminator, bed rail system and the next day ordered a tonneau cover. My wish list on Quadratec is almost 2 pages long lol.

Within 12 months of buying my jeep i'd dropped almost 10k. Though in fairness, most of it was planned. I opted for factory cloth to install katzkin leather for 2300 (only $300 more than OEM). I opted for factory halogens to install my own LEDs, and even going Diode Dynamics for heads and fogs I got my full LED set in for cheaper than factory.

Sunrider, armorlite, wheels, tires, on-board air, sway disconnects, kill switch, hood lock, tonneau and rokblokz later.... ouch.

That being said, the good news is if you make a plan and stick to it, the bleeding does stop. I haven't spent money on my jeep in almost 2 years at this point.

Truly? There's a light at the end of the tunnel?

20k in and it's not done. Wife says it's done. My opinion doesn't matter. But she's lying. Good luck not getting divorced. Welcome to the addiction
