well hell if you going to spend $40,000+ , keep the JK as is to run with the kids then buy a Jimmy Smith buggy on 44's, then you will for sure be able to run those buggy trails. He can even build a 2 seater for you

I'd be spending that $40K on a lawyer but that's just me ....

Is her boss a chick?

If so, I don't see a problem.

he kinda looked like a chick. an oversight on my part as he was pitched as her "gay" friend. Really though, she did me the favor as I now only have to support my children and not her dead weight and no one (other than you guys ) to curb my spending!

She may be a whore but she's actually a pretty good mom and kids need their mother. Other than having the house to raise them in (which she's paying for by court order), I keep my paycheck and she keeps hers. When (or if) the house sells, we split the profit (even in today's crappy market, we'd each get approx 40k, thanks to a hefty downpayment I put down on that one).

5.7L Hemi truck motor swap from Jeep Speed Shop. 10 000$ installed.
Front and rear axles from Atomic Axle. 14 000$
40's and beadlocks. 4-5000$
Front and rear bumpers. Both with winches. 3000$
Mastercraft seats front and rear. I dunno the $$.


Maybe an in Jeep intercom headset setup like lo2ay has so you can chat with the kiddos with the top down? This one is definitly on my list.

There. I spent 40 grand and didnt even buy you suspension lol. Good luck with your build. Post a build thread in show and tell. I like to watch people spend money I dont have!

$40k - $5k to pay off hitman = $35k - $10k on jeep mods to run 40 inch tires = $25k left..... Now you have a jeep on 40s BUT you can't get it inspected in mass or NH due to ride height.... Maybe VT but who wants to live in VT... Gross. So take the $25k and move out west to Az , NV or CA.... Get a sweet house and kick back and watch the kiddies grow.

Seriously though, sorry for the loss. Best of luck to you and the kiddos.

HMM. 40's a Hemi.... Ruby08, I think I may know what you have in mind... You want the biggest, baddest looking Jeep to drive over the douchebag's car right?

Seriously, it sounds like you have your finances in order so have fun with your Jeep. BTW, make sure that your wife's name is not on it first
