LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Libby & Commander - Tradeoff

This is funny....
I did not where to post it but here should be ok
Talked to the wife yesterday and told her I wanted to add bigger tires to our Renny and eventually a lift so I can go offroading without worries and have our libby looking good, and this is the response I got:
"I love the fact you are getting involved with a Jeep club and going to meetings, putting stickers on our windows, getting t/shirts and all that BUT, if you are going to pimp our ride then I want the Commander".
Enuf said.... boy; am I in trouble :shock:

Well, I might not have expressed myself quite right above.....
I can Keep the libby and mod it any way I want as long as she gets a commander too! I can get the libby for myself
She happens to love the Renny but with bigger tires and a lift and who knows what more, it's too much for her. So with the commander all for herself, problem solved.[/b]

Xmas present I guess - that way I'll finally have a present that she really, really likes. I do not know really.... maybe she will like the pimped libby and decide herself if she's asking too much. That is whay I said - Boy - Am I in trouble"

That's Funny! I received a cold response from my wife when at only 588 miles on the ODO I upsized the tires and got a bunch of decals on our Libby. All she said in a monotone voice, and slowly, was "that's nice..."

How the hell could a lift and tires EVER cost $35,000? You could buy a libby and another car for that much.

hmm, maybe hes crazy? Maybe he buys all the lifts and tires in the world and see's which is better?

I think that is what he meant A new libby because if it is a typo and he meant $3500 he is still too high right?

It's too high even for a new libby .. I don't think you could get it up to 35,000 with every single factory option available

I suppose it's possible to hit 3500 for a lift with new wheels and tires. Figure franken is one of the most expensive, that costs like $800, figure $1000 total if you pay for the install. Lets go nuts and say he gets ripped off and pays $1200 total for it. Now lets get some meats. What's a tire cost, like $180? $200? times 5, we have another grand right there. Lets get some Rubicon wheels, $175 a pop on eBay, all 5 of em. $875 Total in parts alone is $2600. Add to that the cost of the labor for the lift, the tire mounting, balancing, SHIPPING for all these parts if you can't get em locally. $3500 is not that far off. As for the original topic, though, if you want to "pimp your ride" forget about the commander. It's a new model, so there is NOTHING available for it. Wait 5 or 6 years and then it's pimpable.

My wife did say later that she would settle for a Wrangler. I hope she don't read this thread!

Pimp the ride? She does not know what pimp means. Please instruct her on the proper term before you spend $35,000+
