Agree with this 110%. The more you do for yourself, the more you learn and can do and help others.

It is cheaper to buy a 4x4 and upgrade it your self if you have the skills.

Not sure i agree with this. If you put a $1000 upgrade on a Jeep, it will not increase much in value. In fact, it may go down in value. Especially if its a lift or cage or aftermarket bumpers or tow hooks and the like. So when you purchase someone else's project, they typically lose a lot of the money they put into it and you have a cheaper built Jeep. Problem is that you get it the way they built it, not the way you would build it.
My 99xj was already built as a promotional vehicle for some 4x4 shop at Paragon and the 8000 I paid was less than the cost of the add-ons not even counting the cost of a 99xj with 40000 miles.

Also think this better b/c when it breaks then you know how to fix it.

Agree 110% Sometimes we have a task just to figure out what the add on part was.
