I've probably put in about <=$500 or so into my buggy, that's upgrades paint, parts, materials, and the trailtech vapor, so that's about 800 total... now add 1 grand for shocks! no way. lol. I don't baby it down the trails at all, but I also don't try to break it too much either. I just want to have fun, without breaking the bank.
