Tuffy Lock Box behind the back seat.$128
5000 lb tensile strength cargo netting around the back. (Raingler Brand) $99
New Mopar Soft Top with tinted windows NOTHING.NORMAL WEAR REPLACEMENT
Magnaflow Cat-Back $275 but is probably normal wear on 9yr old TJ
AirRaid Cold Air Intake with a Poweraid throttle body spacer $235/$90=$325
PIAA horn system Really? Bite me
Custom Billet Aluminum Racing Pedals $50
Quadratech Tread Lightly All-Weather Rubber mats front and back. $60
Custom Billet Aluminum shifter knob $20
Quadratech Tread Lightly Grab Handles $14
Sony Stereo System with top of the line sound bar. Gawd only knows what this joker calls "top of the line" and who cares anyway?
Custom Side Steps for entering vehicle. $57 for those JCW
Edge guards on side doors and rear tailgate $12
Dome light toggle switch - great for taking the doors off $5
Front and Back D-Rings and tow package. "Tow Package" is a receiver in the rear bumper. rear shackle insert $28/2 D rings to go in existing hangers $22 = $50
Hella Fog Lights These look like the $40 cheapies if they are Hella
Delta Quad Bar Xenon Head Lights $150
Black translucent paint on all side markers, turn signals and tail lights. $6 but should be - $20 for looking like crap
Blue Tooth enables microphone Mine was $20 from Ebay
Water Resistant car cover $99
Rock Guard skid plates Who knows which ones? Say $250
6" Bushwacker Fender Flares $502
Custom door and glove box limiting straps Really? He lists these and not which skids he has? $9
Terry cloth Front Seat Covers (MOPAR) for days at the pool.$60

Grand total of the listed mods? Drum roll please: $7,753. Plus stereo, of course, which was apparently about $23,000. Brave move in a soft top jeep. Even the spare shows wear. if those tires have 10K miles on them I would avoid buying Nitto's. I gave him new price credit but they look to have been bought used or taken off of another vehicle. That would deduct about $700 from the value IMHO

So...IF every dollar that you put into jeep accessories is returned to you and using the $23,000 figure This Jeep is worth at most $30,753. Yeah, I would take $70k ( or now $51k) for it, too.
