Expensive crap you can build yourself.
Like Bushwackers, Safari suck tube, or ARB bull bumpers. $900?... good God!
Stuff I'll excuse myself for:
I have to use mud flaps cause I live in Kalifornia.
(At least they are detachable)
I only put stickers of mods/things I own on my rear most drivers side
window (cause its the blind spot lol)
Yes I run some RC stuff.....deal with it!
You live in CA, so do I, but Ive never had an issue for no mud flaps.

I've read your build thread. I like it. Your Jeep doesn't exactly fit the mold I described.

Does this make us Flamers by definition?

Mommy and Daddy not letting you cut up your XJ?

Mommy and Daddy wouldn't have bought my my XJ if I had asked. I don't think I could hack into the sheet metal on something I'm still paying the bank for, though

Besides, I tried to cut the rust out of my Ranger once. I shouldn't be left alone with sharp objects and sheet metal anyways

I take it yours didn't mind?

Stingers, especially big ones that stick up above the hood and look like they're made out of bent scaffolding poles.

Good one, I almost forgot about those. What are you using a stinger for that you need it to be level with your roof rack?

Mine is mine to play with. Paid cash. Having my daily driver makes doing whatever I want to my jeep just fine. I like that I don't care if it gets a scratch, or that my tire catches my fender and bends the fender, or that I leave it in the street, and not waste a garage stall, or that I can get in the jeep with muddy boots on, and no floor mats, and just not care.

Mommy and Daddy stopped paying for things a long time ago. I'm a big kid now! I do know that I probably wouldn't take out a bank note on a vehicle that's at minimum 12 years old, however.

People who buy cb radios with 5 foot antennas seriously 75 percent of people dont even use a CB radio. Angry eyes they just look stupid. Wheel spacers are stupid save more money and just buy rims with correct back spacing. Horrible spray paint jobs just take your time and do it right. People with no front bumpers its not that hard to make one or buy one or put the stock one back on to me it looks horrible half the people i see with lifted XJs take the front bumper off for looks it has a purpose
