Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Oh man, a very nice thread here. Here is my Story:
Most costly & priceless is the time it requires for such things. Between Aug 08 - June/July 09, I was literally spending EVERY weekend at the garage for getting things done. That takes a toll on LOT's of things but at the same time it is that effort we put in which makes our 4x4's so near & dear to our hearts. It would not be the same 'attachment' if we had spent just the money & not the time ![]() Last edited by khan_sultan : 4th December 2009 at 22:23. |

Vinod/ Naren Thanks for the wishes. And one good point is my wifey likes the jeep very much though it is not my first vehicle(I own 2007-M800). We enjoyed couple of soft offroad rides together on weekends after marriage ... she was happy ![]() After registration , My next work on Jeep would be to change the top. It is not made as per my idea actually . I want to change it and redo it.Then adding all those military specific accesories which I have alredy got. I ll fit those once the vehicle is registered. If I add winch then it will cost a bomb but 2.25lks in total sounds good for my Jeep? What Say? Tarkesh | |
