Since March, I've:

Had new tires and wheels put on.
Replaced Skyjacker Hydro shocks with Rancho RS5000x's
Installed new pads and rotors in the front.
Installed Body Armor rock rails/steps.
Painted the front bumper.
Installed, then hated 03-06 mirrors, then painted and reinstalled the original mirrors.
Added body tub rail covers.
Replace carpet with a Bedrug, in the front, and added floor mats.
Painted the dash, door panels, and center console.
Replaced the inner and outer door handles.
Replaced the fuel pump.
Added .75" spring spacers to level it.
Installed front quick disconnects.
Replaced the head lights. Just used Silver Stars as I don't drive it at night all that often.

I think that's it, and I still have a lot to do, regear it to 4.10 with Detroit TT's and rear alloy axles shafts, replace the drag link and tie rod, get a SYE and adjustable control arms.

Still cheaper than a JL though.

Rockin' and rollin'! Waaaay cheaper than a JL, to be sure!

I know what you mean about the side mirrors. I much prefer the "grab and position" mirrors on my '01 than the "push-on-the-sides-of-the-glass" system of my '06. Not DC's best idea.
 
Yeah, there is simply no way I'd spend $50k+ on a Wrangler. I don't go out of my way to beat mine up, but if I have to drive through bushes and stuff on a trail, I just do it. If I spent over 50k, I wouldn't be on a trail to begin with, which then defeats the purpose of a Wrangler.

89grand would you happen to remember the size of ranchos you put on? I am getting ready to replace the hydros on my jeep that has a four inch lift.
