everything i have modded on my jeep is second hand and you wouldnt even know it.

used shocks, 2 inch spacer kit etc.. absolutely nothing wrong. ebay bargains !!!

 

I check the listings in the cities I go to on trips. I can't tell if I'm addicted to my jeep, or addicted to craigslist!

 

I'm an eBay/Craigslist whore!!

95% of my mods have been purchased this way. Be patient, shop around and let the deals come to you. Just this morning I got a set of used smoked tail lights (not VHT'd) for $63 on eBay. They are $142/set new!

 

Just picked up a factory tinted soft top I found on CL that was only used a couple of times and sat in the guys garage. Great deal -

 

Oh yes, big Craigslist fan here. Bought and sold lots of stuff on there!!

 

I bought my 37s used off craigslist to help keep the initial cost of lifting Jeep down. they're just sitting in the garage waiting for leg to heal enough to put on.

 

Got a procal, rear bumper, and scored 5 brand new Iroks (33s) for $450 (after selling my stock tires). However due to my remote location, it's rare that I can score on some of the good deals like those in the larger cities.

 

Scored front and rear AEV Call of Duty bumpers for $1650 about 2 months ago! The guy even helped me install them in his garage about an hour away. I gave him an extra hundred just for the help! You can definitely find great deals, but always be aware. Some people out there just plain suck at life, and want to take you down with them!

 

I scored a or-fab front stubby for 75 bucks, my rubi tires for 450, my rock sliders for 150, windshield lights for chipotle so about 50 bucks, muffler for 75 I think don't remember, so pretty much 80 percent of my mods are used. But some paint will make it look new. Being 18 and trying to mod your jeep with a job that you work maybe 4 days a month is hard.

 

I've sold a few things, both sales went fine...honest and decent Jeepers

I keep looking for items and will move when I see something I want

You do as others say need to keep your guard up, meet at a public place in the daylight and let someone know where you are going

Makes you think twice after the Tim Bosma murder.....my sympathies to the family.
