I think 2000 is doable in 2 years for a highly motivated person of slightly above-average intelligence. 20 per week for two years is possible so long as you don't slack and study effectively.

I've been knocking out 26 per week for the past couple months, making a push to JLPT1. I start work as a lawyer in August, so I will actually have the cash to fly out of Texas and sit for the exam at some point.

I'm not planning on taking it this year (no sense in forcing it into my schedule so spontaneously when I don't need to sit for the exam other than for grins), but I finally decided, in the midst of all my studying for the bar exam, to start adding kanji again (and re-adding some that I almost never have used in the past couple years).
