| Cost - LED Light Upgrade |
| |
A LED lighting upgrade not only changes the appearance of the Jeep, but it helps
in the area of safety as well. A LED Light Upgrade has pretty straightforward costs. These costs are not so
much hidden as compared to some of the other projects.
In fact that to do this right, it will require a pair of crimpers, a HD drill, some hole saw attachments for
the drill, wire strippers, a soldering iron, metal filing tools and some metal cutters.

| Cost - Offset |
| |
| To offset the cost of the buildup, I sold off the old light housings. There
weren't really any more parts that could be sold during the build-up of this section.

| Conclusions |
| |
The total time should be around 6 hours all said and done if you like the BFI
way of doing things. I ruined a drill and should have gotten the metal rasp drill bit attachments earlier in
the projects. I was sanding and rasping by hand with files. Once I got these into the drill, it went a lot
quicker.
As you can see, the offset of the nearly $20.00 for selling the old axles helped in the overall % cost
difference in the project. It reduced the cost by nearly 20%. So, it might not seem like much, but every
little bit counts.
