What was your most worthless upgrade.

we've all be through it. what did you spend your money on for your rig and wish that you could get that money back. I've been through quite a few but perhaps the worst upgrade was the Pro-Comp coil spring conversion kit. that thing flexed like a tank.

Okay Bill I will play. Revolver shackles for the front of the YJ. I like them in the rear but they sucked in the front. They are still in a box in the garage.

nth degree piece of dog shit stinger to "eliminate" the spring wrap. Not only was it initially a waste of money but i continued wasting time and money on it trying to force a poor design to work. Bigger waste than that of which I'm almost embarrassed to say was getting the extended flares painted to match the Jeep LMFAO. Times have changed...

Well hell Nick if you want to go there. I think there was the about 3 years of worthless jeep gifts that I asked for from parents girlfriends and family between the ages of 18-21 that everything that was given to me for the jeep is now worthless. Once I started wheeling my direction changed with the YJ.

The rear suspension seat was a waste and so was the hand throttle but it wasn't my idea to put either in.
I only use the hand throttle as a poor man's cruise control and I sold the seat.
Every other upgrade I have been happy with.
However, it's only because of all the knowledge you guys have given me over the years that I have made good decisions so thank you for that.

Wait till you get gear in your jeep and you might learn to use it. Its the best 20 buck part I have on the YJ in my opinion.

the front tube bumber... I should have went with the DOM version to match the rear, but went with the 2" double tube front because it was $50 vs. 300... thin walled like aluminum piece o junk... bent worse then the stock one, and already rusting after a year.

LOL... trying to. just every time I grab the key to pull Blue out of hiding, I get hit by the ex... she is holding the title hostage still... Legal action coming soon, but I don't want him rolling, running, and out in the open (out of hiding) until I have the title and tags in hand...

She is ruining my entire summer fun.

Worst Jeep investment... having a co-signer when I bought it.... Grrrrrrr.... jocolor
