Im a busser so I get paid around $10/hour I only fill up once every 2 weeks or so which is $35 so I have around $400 every 2 weeks to buy what ever. My Jeep was $1800 already lifted 5 inches so did not have to save up for a lift kit just gotta get new tires since these are worn down.

Hey guys be careful talking about illegal wheelin. Just saying... Don't want to have anyone kicked off for something stupid like that

XxXJ99xX

X2 on that....espically with that whole 4x4 ban thing going on id be even more careful...

Mine should be lifted by next summer if I can find a job, a guy I know said he would get me into his restaurant he is a good friend of the family so I may finally have a job soon just gotta get in contact with him. Soon as I get money some goes into savings, some towards the jeep, some towards gas, insurance blah that crap, and whatevers left is fun money

I had a busser job. I think thats where most people start out. I love driving the XJ to school, only Wranglers where Im at. Im a lonesome soul haha

cant wait to get a PA speaker for my cb. fun to mess with people in the parking lot

when i say illegal wheeling im not refering to it being illegal to go to the place we wheel. its a local place called the plains its town property and its pre made trails. theres all of 3 trails that are meant for state vehicles only. unfortunately the best ruts are at the top of those trails. there "off limits" for being under high tension wires. ive been up there and questioned by the police before. they just want people to stay clear of the high tension rigs.

im a workoholic, i just quit my money job but my weekends last year were 18 on 4 off 18 on 4 off 18 on then some rest. i worked overtime everyweek and took at least 15 credits at the local community college, last year i was a junior in high school...

When I was in HS, I worked at mcdonalds 30-40 hours a week. Pay was awful, but at the end of the week I had 250 bucks, spent probably 50 a week between food/gas, so 800 a month, - 150 for insurance so 650 a month.
I bought the 84 XJ first, had the tires/wheels on it, I bought it for 600 bucks with a bunch of extra parts.
I bought the 89 XJ for 1200 bucks bone stock, put the stock wheels and tires on the 84 XJ, and sold the 84 for 500 bucks with no extra parts.
Bought a RC 6.5 lift
Traded the parts (new in box) to a local shop for labor to put the lift on.
Put the tires/wheels from the 84 on the 89.

That was pretty much my start. In the long run I had... 2300 in my jeep, and I drove it like that with no problems for 2 years before starting to mess with it and break things.
