Default How much have you invested into your XJ?

So I was wondering, how much have you bought and invested into your jeep since the day you got it. Going with the old saying of "Just Empty Every Pocket"
We got mine for $800 and over the past three or four years I've probably put in about $2000 into her since then
From this - to that

Paid 2500 for the 1993 Country trail rig 7 years ago. I have no idea what the total is (and I'd rather not know) but between it's different stages I'd guess I've spent between 10-15,000 dollars on it in the past 7 years.

Paid 500 for the 1993 Sport DD 2 years ago.

Basic maintenance, 3" lift, 31's, Yakima rack and a winch. Right at $2500 total into the Jeep.

I got my 91 for $1600
I put about $1200 (over the course of bout 2yrs. ) into repairs, mods, and upgrades. Includes completely new cooling, brakes, ujoints everywhere.
I also put about $800 worth of lift and $700 of wheels and tires on it.
So about $4300 (still cheaper than my first truck)

Then an idiot hit me and it got totaled. I got $1500 and the 91 back.

Bought a 99 for $1300
I've put about $400 into it so far, CAI, tune up, new cooling, $120 for some nice used tires. $70 for a stereo. It will get an OME lift next spring.
So far about $1900 in the 99.

I'm also fixing the 91 it will get about $1800 worth of new suspension.

So about $7000 running total.

My current one I picked up for $400, spent another $400 or so for a new cylinder head, $100 on tires, about $50 on the lift and another $100-150 for misc parts for my bumpers. Another $150 (haven't spent it yet) for my tire carrier spindle and hardware and I'm right around $1000 total not including consumables and misc stuff like spray pain, oil, filters, ect.

Paid out the A$$ for mine, sorta. $6500 for a 01 with 92k and an AX-15. Got $2000 in to lift and rims/tires. Maybe a few bucks in to stickers...
Still needing sliders, bumpers, sye and other goodies. Already thinking long arms though...
