To save money with all of these mods, do not but from Mopar. You probably know there are plenty of websites around. When I bought my TJ, the dealership wanted to charge $400 for an Add a trunk, I said hell no and bought mine off of http://www.quadratec.com for $125 and installed myself. Be smart, be wise, and your wallet will be thick.  Good luck!

My add-a-trunk from the dealer was 160CDN...
It's not the most secure thing in the world but it's not bad. If they want in they WILL get in. But for the most part im sure people would pass on trying to break in.

Welcome to the club!
Advise on having money AND having parts for your jeep? Hmmm, open a jeep parts shop? |

Unfortunately one can't have it both ways...if you want a thick wallet, walk everywhere. Having a jeep wrangler will reduce your wallet to three things, an empty, well used credit card (or maxxed depending on how you look at it), your driver's license and an insurance card...that's it.
My Dad once told me when I told him that when I grew up I wanted to be a musician...He said "son, you can't have it both ways". So I decided on the musician thing and still haven't grown up...my jeep is just a bigger toy than my Tonka trucks were that I had as a kid...All this to say that we can't always have our cake and eat it too. Whatever's left over after buying all your tricks for the jeep, you spend on gas. I Love It!!! Timbo

Welcome to the club!
The first mods you want to make, when money is available, is a suspension lift and new tires/wheels, but until then, you may have money in your wallet and will not start the eventual avalanche of nifty Jeep mods to install in your garage!  |
