Starting to see shocks, brakes, tires, etc. I guess it all depends on the situation, but for the most part we would consider this maintenance. These are things that would go on an vehicle you owned.
I guess we can get into another category that shows what you've spent on replacing parts because of wheeling damage or mods you've made. However for this thread I wanted to see what normally broke on you under normal driving conditions. I wanted to judge overall reliability and see how many people here have had transmission issues, MFD, AHC, etc. People visiting this forum often get scared when they hear a few horror stories and I wanted to see the numbers. I feel they aren't really bad at all.

How about a blown front diff? How would that be sorted?

Costs of repairs: $32.00
Other costs: ashamed to say and wife would be very unhappy it she knew the total.
Need to add cost of rear bumper since I don't like the one the factory put on. Can't figure out how to get it under the radar.
