I didnt exaggerate the price on his TJ. Parts for stuff is so damn expensive here its not funny. I was including the buy price of the Jeep in that though. $25k for a 10 year old manual TJ. 
New Wranglers start at 52K here
I would have to throw 10k at my XJ make it awesome.
What I can remember thats in the TJ is
6 inch long arms
33 swamper boggers with beadlock rims
Teraflex transfer case (which got destroyed)
ARB rear Air locker
Warn Front and back bumpers
Warn 9000LB winch

"Your XJ sucks man!" What do you drive? "I'm getting a car this weekend!"
He ended up getting a lifted XJ... I'm so pissed and wanna destroy it for his stupidity. But that would be sacreligious of me.

I think he just exaggerated on the price. I mean only thing I can think of making it a 50k Jeep is he paid it off, lifted, top of line tires/wheels and put a gold plated LS1 engine in it. I honestly can't see 50k into a jeep unless it's a one off project built from the ground up with all top of the line products.

That was from a close bud who saw pictures from the last trip.... he's now been demoted in friendship.
