I don't keep track,, I bought the 2000 new off the lot.. So compared to the price of the Jeep any mods I do are cheap..
When the upgrades hit $24,790,,I will start to keep track lol.

I had over $25k in mine in both mods and repairs, so it was a breath of fresh air to end that 'hole in my pocket.' lol
I paid $6000 outright for the thing when I bought it, so the other $19,000 came from what I did to it.
The biggest priced mods/fixes were:
Lift bought/installed: $2300
Axle re-gearing: $1600
Bumper w/ all accessories/installed: $1400
Steering box/brace installed: $800
New tires: $800
Brake job new parts/installed: $600
LED Headlights: $400
LED auxiliary lighting: $400
Other costs can be attributed to sensor replacements, window tint, bearing replacements, engine part replacements, radiator, heater core replacement, cooling system replacements, diff guards, quick disconnects, extended brake lines, rare factory parts pulled from the junk yard, rare factory parts bought on Ebay, etc...

And I will spend 50k more if I have too.. I love Jeep. My 95 I bought new off the lot also. But the 95 has only a 3" lift and tires,, been that way for years.. The 2000 gets all the toys.
I like to keep the 95 simple and reliable for my get around Jeep when i have the 2000 on dry dock.

I just thought it was interesting when you said you bought it for 24k so the mods are cheap. When I bought my new truck a couple years ago and immediately lifted it, the lift and new tires did not seem cheap in comparison haha it just added to the initial cost.
