and what's your favorite one. I have a stock jeep, which eventually will be changed. First I have to do some basic things. Go over the motor. In a few weeks the seats come out, herculiner, new seats and some upgrading to the rollbar. After that the list gets into big $$$.

So far the tires and a new soft top,I need to rebuild the motor so that will probably drain my wallet.I have a friend that has sunk a TON of money into his 95YJ,the good thing is I've been able to get a lot of his cast-offs(wheels,seats,...) dirt cheap:)

This axle swap and gear change that im in the process of doing is going to be my most expensive mod.

8.8" rear+4.88 gears F/R+new calipers+locker+all of the hardware to make the swap adapt to my YJ=alot of money

ditto....

250 for the 8.8, another 250 or a little less for the install stuff....
$30 for the 4.10's..... (already had d35 4.10's sent to me under warranty so 4wd parts in OKC is letting me trade them for 8.8 4.10's) and a few hundred for the install for those... i guess i'll be at 700 or so for the rear.... but i'll survive with the 3.73's

havent changed tires since i bought the jeep but i guess that'll be a fun thing when it comes.

Ha, that's easy... custom built Dynatrac axle. I'm not gonna say how much, it'll depress me.:)

My favorite to this point... hard to say. I loved the driveline improvements the sye made... There's nothing like having your own air source... You can't beat the piece of mind of having good rocker/skid protection...

I guess to me every mod is my favorite.:D

My most expensive mods were taking down the "For Sale" sign in my CJ and THEN purchasing ANOTHER Jeep (see below). These two mods together cost me about $25,000 in divorce fees and child support! :eek: Seems the wife hated me and my rigs just about the same amount! LOL!

"I Keepin Jeepin!" ie: I aint gettin no sex, but I'm still gettin wet...in my JEEP! YeeHaw!
