Welcome to the Z.

Your friends are wrong. Jeeps, as opposed to most other vehicles, do pretty well to hold their value. Modifications, especially those that improve appearance as much as a lift and larger tires, generally help a jeep hold its value.

While you would never regain the money spent on mods should you sell the jeep, modifying it isn't any more a waste of money as modifying any other type of vehicle.
