Just tried to work it out the best I can.
If I include the last few things I need to get before swapping the new tyres on and bolting on the YJs and other shiney bits it stands at 5.5k. Wasn't expecting that!
Its also forced me into building a £1000 shed!
Doubt I will get much of that back selling my old suspension setup and tyres to one of you tight arses!

I think it's safe to say most of us are pretty deep. Money and time well spent!

Where else could you get so much pleasure per pound legally!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least we are not running loud stereo"s [we cant hear them through transmission whine and tyre noise], no blacked out window"s just mud, we might have back ache through suspension but at least not lowered that far a speed hump would rip the ass out your jeans. Think how much money we saved by going sj and not blinged/pimped way!!!!!!!!!!

Transmission whine and tyre noise. Can't hear those over the cherry bomb. Blacked out windows, guilty.
