Your most expensive mistake

[cory]

What's been your most costly mistake--jeep wise?

For me, my most expensive screw up was spending extra money to buy an ultra nice used YJ without realizing how powerful the 'wheeling bug is. That expensive, super nice YJ is now a scuffed, scratched, dented, mod'd and drove hard weekend warrior. When I bought it, I had no idea how four wheeling and jeeps grab you and make you do insane things...and like it.:)

*Sigh* Live and learn.

Only 2 1/2 inches of lift. I made it a year, but now I want more.
BTW, its a great lift, I should gotten the 4.5" though :banghead:

getting stuck in 3 feet of water, getting water in my engine, and blowing a fist size hole in the block.:banghead:

i was able to scrap a lot of parts off my old engine, and i did everything my self so it only cost me about 500 bucks plus a whole weekend of wrechin.

For me it was the usual.
Buy a 2" lift and 31's
Buy a 3.5" lift and 33's
Finally do it right SOA and 35's

buying a jeep instead of a yota truck. For half the ammount ive put into this POS jeep, i could have had a badass yota. But i still love my yj!!!!:D

[jeepweezer]

Buying the 2.5" lift and 31" tires, should have waited and got something taller.

[95yjmatt]

[Rngerdv]

Paying money for parts from a local company beforehand and getting lied too and cheated out of almost 600 bucks and having to go to court to get money back.

You know who you are out in St. Paul NC........see ya in court.

[Janster]

Offroading the daily driver and spending way too much in mods...

When we should've bought a trail rig to start off with.

[love24wheel]

Paying way too much for an 89 yj with a 4.2 and carb, when I should have held out for a 91+ model. Now Ive got so much money tied up in my 89 it just wouldn't make sense to sell it.
