How much money have you wasted so far?

[SkilledOne4]

This will probably be painful but let's see...

JLUR - priceless

Paid Tracking Service - $20 (thank you @JLWF Dealer Guy)
Rubber Cargo Tub Liner - $29
Rubber Cargo Mat - $104
Hitch Plug - $10 (ordered before I took delivery and realized the Jeep came with one)
Stainless Sill Guards - $118
Screen Protector - $13
All Weather Mats - $104
Harken Hoister - $145
Side Steps - $345
Windshield Tie Down Straps - $26
Velcro Straps for Soft Top - $5
Mirrors - $50
Soft Top Window Storage Bag - $165 (still on order)

Not too bad I guess but considering I purchased most of this before taking delivery was the most painful part because I had boxes of Jeep parts and no Jeep for the 80 days for my build.

I guess I could say the personalized plates that I ordered 7 months ago when I received my Jeep yet still haven’t got so I’m still using the DMV temporary sticker..... other than that I’ve added about 7k in aftermarket stuff not including building/fabricating a Bull Bar, LED Light brackets(LED $$) and a rack for carrying spare fuel cells, HI-Lift Jack ....I’m waiting on tow bracket and bar so I can tow behind my RV, for the brake controller 2 days ago....

Waiting for delivery of mine sometime in September. List of planned mods:

1. Window sticker from daughter's college.

I will see if I can find one on sale.

Got my JL, love it so much...took it off the lot and out to play right away...got its first slight scratches, but feel like its mine now

Have only started on the mods and $ being spent on it, but being in Canada, we are even more limited on whats available...but I did invest in the mopar cargo liner and am not impressed. Ikea worthy directions that are horrible, and it doesnt cover all of the carpeted areas...which was my main reason for getting it as I have dogs, and the carpet is already full of hair which I am daily picking out. Other than that, I am always watching to see what is available...

Would like a suggestion for roof racks though...I have both roof options, so would I be smarter to go with something like the smittybilt full frame racks, or just a gutter rack? I do plan on hauling my canoe and SUP, so I am probably answering my own question on that one....sadly at double the price...but which of the racks are the best ones for looks and durability? Thoughts?

Also - anyone seen any cool places for diamond plate backing for mirrors and add ons?

Thanks!

So far, almost $2K and worth every penny.

Soft Top $1,700
Running boards $200
Splash Guards $50
License Plate Frames $12

Plus, my kids still think I'm the coolest dad ever for buying a Wrangler which is priceless.

Considering I leased my vehicle, everything I'm buying is worthless. LMAO!! I'm about 4k into mods at this point

Not really, you can always buy it out when you come to the end.

You’re available now

Some of the best money I’ve ever spent! About $2500.00. Compared to money wasted on my ex wife, this Jeep is money well spend!

HELL YES ! ! Spending money on this jeep makes me so happy...sometimes I spontaneously break out in laughter or I cry happy tears. All money in this jeep is a joy.....that only those who have X-wives can relate to. Spend on....and Drive on Brother....put that witch further away.... in your rear view mirror

Hmmm with lift, tires, rails, bumpers, tire carrier, winch, custom powder coating I think I'm like 15K into my mods and still not done.
Boy it sure adds up quick.

The Jeep itself. I purchased a 2018 JLU Sport but I should have just purchased the Rubicon because I'm basically just spending lots of money upgrading my sport to be a Rubicon. I love my Jeep but in hindsight, I should have just bought the Rubi with all the accessories I wanted on it right from the start and been done with it.
