How Much Have You Spent On Mods?

How much money have you ACTUALLY spent -- not just how much you told your wives that you spent

I'm not talking about the cost of your cracked rubber hoses, your routine fluid/oil change, or buying tires when your old ones were bald...



I'm talkin' about throwing an eibach/5100 lift on your rig randomly, getting new 33" tires when your old ones were just fine, getting that front/rear plate bumper you've always wanted, throwing insane money down for whatever mod you make an excuse that you "need"

 

There is already a thread on here for that

 

I have a feeling that I would have to move up a category after I buy a new Elite Off Road front bumper

What the heck. I tried searching but didn't come up with it

 

Who has spent less than 5?

 

Me. But that is before tons, motor/trans swap and SAS, tube etc, etc.

 

Nevermind, found it in "technical chat" --- DOH

About $3.5k not including several sets of upgraded tires over the years. Budget all the way... but I bet my pig has been to more places than most.

 

I just passes the 10k mark

Mainly because I'm stupid though

 

Truck goes in tomorrow (solo motorsports) for the work...right now you would be looking at a stock truck.

 

Probably around $6,000-$7,000 so far... Hurts to say that... Haha

 

Right on, looking forward to seeing what it becomes.

Damn, there's some good stuff on here.

I just bought my truck in December and I have a few other multi thousand dollar hobbies that eat into the budget.

For the truck I don't replace stuff until it needs to be replaced.

So far:
$65 - power inverter
$120 - switches, wires & fuses
$320 - camper shell
$120 - sleeping platform
$320 - bicycle hitch rack
$15 - rear diff breather extension

I've also replaced the shocks with Bilstiens and an AAL from Wheelers off road. I don't count these because the old stuff was shot and the AAL helps with heavy scuba gear and camping stuff.

Some future mods-

Driving lights, probably just Hella 500FF.

I'd like to upgrade the tires to something AT. Currently I have General Grabber AW. I don't wheel much but when I do it tears up the tires so I'm thinking they'll need replacing next year.

Maybe sliders if I find myself wheeling more often and on more difficult trails.

 

$2K(after taxes) for the Snugtop Rebel I ordered. And the Fed says there is little to no inflation...

Oh crap I just noticed this was a 1st gen thread. Sorry!
