Smile TJ: Another Wrangler build up

I bought the tj off my father in 03 with 57k on it and in standard form.
With the aim if fitting 33” tyres. I try to give a rough price on it as I go. I love my money pit almost all of the mods was done by me apart from the lockers.
This is my jeep.

Started with my arb front bar and nav lights.

Then snorkel, K&N filter

OME lift kit($800) rims and tyres.

Body lift, Warn winch, new lights

Brake upgrade front and rear (BA falcon)

Front and rear lockers with 4.56 ratios


Rear led lights and new reverse lights

Arb Front and rear diff covers

Winch solenoid moved to engine bay, throttle body spacer and jet chip stage 2.

Roof console. Wired in lockers, lights, uhf, winch in/out. fire extinguisher on drivers side, compressor under passanger seat.


Arb rock sliders and rear bar

Genright fuel tank skidder

Lifted front and rear guards. Now with the lifted guards the snorkel has to be modified to fit and a custom intake tube style air filter housing which is in the making. filter cost the most, grinding disc's and a couple of flapper pads and some gal which I borrowed from work

its a lot of money I know. but at about 4g a year, you have to do something with it. have you seen them standard and I bet a lot of other guys on here would have spend way too much to even want to count.
