I want to keep track of the progress I make with my Jeep and how much money I dump into it so I figured this would be the best way. I purchased a 2018 Granite Jeep JLU Sport on a Friday afternoon. The next morning my two sons (6 and 9) and I packed a bag and drove 11 hours to Washington D.C. to catch a Braves game at Nationals Park that weekend. The boys want to travel to all 30 ballparks so this was our first trip to another park other than Suntrust Park in Atlanta. This is my first Jeep so I don’t have any experience with other models to compare it too, but I was impressed with the ride and how it handled on the trip. I ended up putting over 1300 miles on it the first weekend. I had an initial budget of $3000 saved for mods after I purchased it so I wanted to start with a lift, wheels, and tires.

08/23/18: Tires were delivered by FedEx and left in the driveway while I was at work. I’m just glad no one stole them before I made it home.
Total parts cost: $2,514 after taxes/shipping
I called around and 4Wheel Parts quoted me around $460 to do the install so I should be able to keep everything under my $3,000 budget when it’s all done. I scheduled the install for 08/29/18.
I’ll post more pics once the lift is installed.
