Default In theory...

How much would it cost to build your dream XJ, I'm talking as tricked out as you could possibly dream?

Put a list of all the modifications you would do.

Nice tires, rock stars, 3" lift, olive drab paint, all parts underneath painted red with some good paint, hood lifts, roof rack, nice front and rear bumpers with stinger and winch, lights, doesn't leak, possibly chopped, roll cage all throughout inside, custom tool box and storage built in trunk, bullet proof windows all around. That would be amazing...

8inch block lift to save some money and spend it on rockstar rims
4' stinger up front
hang one of those cool ********* from my hitch (for the ladies)
cold air intake and a loud exhaust so it goes faster
a huge DC sticker on the rear window
then spend all the rest of my money on a sound system
then go to the mall
