I’ve spent that much [i]building[/i] a 2009 Wrangler. [/quote]

WTH does that mean? It was built a factory. Are you trying to say you built your own vehicle somehow? That makes no sense. [/quote]

I think the poster was describing the process of essentially re-building and already built, used Wrangler, with different parts and accessories to better suit what they wanted. We’ve done something very similar ourselves. We didn’t spend $100k doing it, but I could definitely see how it would be possible to spend that much.

A V8 engine swap, along with a transmission is about $25-$40k depending on engine and trans. Upgraded axles can easily go $20k-$30k for a set depending on model of axle. Transfer case can be $5k-$7k for something exotic. Wheels and tires can easily go $4k for beadlock wheels and big tires. That’s already $70k right there, with a whole lot of other stuff yet to buy and install. A custom-built Wrangler can easily top $150k if you have to rely on a shop to build it for you. And none of that price includes the actual original Jeep being rebuilt.

Custom Jeeps are HUGE money. [/quote]
