Also, how many can buy a new Jeep Sport and then dump $25k-$35k CASH at one time. IMO, this JKU is a great starting point for someone that can immediately go out and wheel the medium to hard stuff.

IMO, this JKU is a great starting point for someone that can immediately go out and wheel the medium to hard stuff. BTW, I'm not talking about going out and buying something you're going to trailer. DD/Wheeler. I'm in the neighborhood of $57k wrapped up in my rig and still need RCV, Reid Knuckles, Regear to 4.88, and 37's (wear item). But that will be another $5k which puts me at $62k and I still don't have tons. But that is money spent over the course of almost 4 years and not shelling it out all at once. Has anyone gotten into this hobby/sport/obsession buying a trail rig, truck, trailer right out of the gate? It sure would save a lot of money but we all ease into it. //cheers2//

Also, Danny should also attend!
I told Laura I wasn't keeping a tally on the Jeep. She proceeded to tell me she was and gave me her estimate. She's dang near spot on. Give or take a skid plate or crossmember she doesn't know about. //://
