Default Never thought spending $$$ on your car would be this hard...

I gave myself a budget and all this to make some mods on my Jeep, like armor/protection, necessary stuff. I was going to get a lift but figured I don't want a lift to take my Jeep somewhere where I cannot protect the body and drivetrain from.

So I'm searching and searching and searching looking for the best deals on skid plates, and body armor and differential guards n shit, which places offer free shipping yadda yadda yadda. And I haven't ordered anything yet.

I've been online since like 12. I'm just having a hard time getting myself to spend $150 on front and rear differential guards.

Are you guys like this too? I guess it pertains to me more cause once I run out of this budget I gave myself, it'll be a long time before I have money to throw into the Heep again. And I want to do shit right the first time...

:rant:

Well seeing as I wouldn't spend money on a Jeep in the first place, can't say I was ever in your situation. :fawk:

Probably the hardest thing I had to buy was spending $360 on JDM headlamps for the Vigor. :eh: Didn't seem worth it until I installed them. h:
