Don't get me wrong, I love my Jeep. But if I had essentially unlimited funds...
  • Tan slant-back soft top or maybe a tan MyTop
  • Tan seat covers (Katzkin or maybe Carhartt)
  • Updated speakers and head unit
  • Bronze Method wheels with more aggressive A/T tires - probably 37s since it wouldn't have to be a DD
  • Portals
  • Winch and aluminum bumpers
  • A Hellcat shoehorned into the 2-door (which would absolutely be a contributing factor to my untimely death) :)
  • Can't decide if I'd keep the Reign, or respray in true Plum Crazy. Either way I'd want color matched fenders.

  • Phase 2 (budgeting to get this done in next 6-9 months)
    • 2.5 inch lift
      • Rock Krawler 2.5 spring kit
      • Rock Krawler no limits sway bar links
      • Metalcloak bumpstops

      • RSE rock sliders
      • Tazer mini to adjust everything electronic

6.7L Cummins swap

My god that would be the dream, but the 5.9 is the biggest that can possibly fit, and even that takes some serious mods to make it work.

No one would buy one of each color and drive a different one every day of the week?

Not quite the singular ultimate JL but, instead, an ultimate collection 😏
That would buy you enough reliability to be able to daily a Jeep.

I would take it to bad ass 4x4 and say strip it down to the shell and get rid of all the electronics, motor, transmission, axles and start over. No lift , add the 5.7 hemi. Needs would be ps,pb,ac,pw and a fucking cd player, radio nav system. A locker system other than oem. Eaton or air. A lot of this they do already. I'm interested in being able to have piece of mind when going off road or to the grocery store and know the chances of a problem happening is less. I'm. sure I forgot something. I remember putting all new gauges (mechanical) in my older jeeps. Worked like a charm for many years. The new 8 speed transmission is great. Too bad it doesn't have linkage connections as a back up when the electronics crap out. I'm sure someone could add to this list.
the transmission couldn’t even shift without functioning electronics.

This is probably going to be the least popular answer:

I'd wipe out all of the electronics in my current Wrangler, drop the engine put in a Cummins 5.9, redo all the wiring... Beyond that probably just keep doing what I'm doing.

Rich or not, I'm still a gonna be a cheapskate!


That would allow me to put money towards other things I want to do, like a lifted off-road mini cooper, the second gen Corvette stingray I want to drop turn into a four-wheel drive off-road demon, take a Kia soul and use it for target practice, buy a Mercedes-Benz W461 and turn it into a monster truck and actually off-road with it!! Get the greatest worst vehicle ever, a Geo and transition it to run on fryer oil, and paint it gold leaf, that way I can be blazing down the street looking rich as **** leaving a trail of french fries scents while getting 42 MPGs!!!

You should all be afraid if I ever get rich. The last thing we all need is me having the funds to do all the stupid shit I want to do.
I can't wait, rock on bro!

I don't think I'd change much in the direction I'm taking my Jeep. I love doing my own work and these days I don't have a lot of free time. Add to that I'm no longer in my 20's - so the time it takes for me to install things is my limiting factor.

Money no object, I'd get a huge garage with a 2-post lift and a diesel pusher so I wouldn't have to worry so much about weight when I tow the Jeep.

Well boys and girls, if I won the Powerball my cost-no-object Jeep would be a version of the TrailCat below that Jeep built for an EJS. Add a hardtop, doors, extra insulation and a kick ass stereo system...


Jeeps TrailCat:
6.2 Supercharged Hellcat, 39's, tons and a slightly stretched wheelbase! One Bad Ass Jeep!

And it looks like it will glow in the dark. What's not to love? 👍

Damn unpopular, Ya don’t butcher a C-2, or a
C-1, or a 71 down C-3, use a pathetic post 71 like the 165 HP 75.
The C-2 Sting Ray was the 63,
Don’t You Dare !!!…
Stingray (one word) reinstated in 69

It would be a definite improvement for the post 71’s :rock:

I would even stretch it to 72, still had front and rear bumpers. When they lost the bumper in 73 they lost me too.
