    I figured you were a young dude with his own business allowing you the means to build this awesome LJ; but when you mentioned you were in college?? I remember my dad giving me his Volkswagen Rabbit to go to college and earning a few grand a year:) Good for you my friend for making it happen so early in life. cheers

    I’ve put about 20k. Bought a crate axle from Currie for $6125 regeared the rear and added locker for $5k (I live in California so labor is very expensive here) lift was around $3k, bumpers and armor was about $2k, wheels and tires (37x17) I got off fb marketplace for $800 for all 5 tires with rubicon jl wheels, bandlands winch $600, drive shaft $400, head unit and speakers $800, high lines and rear fenders $1500, and a bunch of other random parts probably $500ish. Things start to add up so fast. Luckily that stimulus check we got years ago paid for some of the parts.

    Well this was a great build but personally 19,000 I would have bought another Jeep and had two of them I mean unless your climbing Mount Everest or something I have two Jeeps a TJ and LJ and they're both stock and then get me just about anywhere I want to go off-roading but still great video

    It’s getting there. A jeep is never done. I’ve got $43k into my 2002TJ. All parts and my labor. To think I still haven’t put Wonton axles in it yet. That price doesn’t include the 17K for the Jeep itself.

    I don't understand why you would get flamed for trussing and sleeving the axles. I have tj rubicon axles on my sahara that im debating on sleeves or truss. Good to know someone did both.

    Nice LJ.
    With the TJ Rubicon axles and 42rle trans. you definitely want 5.38 gears for the 35s. The 42rle has a stupid .69 overdrive ratio.
    Also, $20,000 into your LJ isn't a lot of money. The only people that would say that have no idea what they're taking about.

    • @joshritchie_media

      Good to know about the gears. 20k sure feels like a lot when you only budget for like 10k 💀
