Between purchase of rig (was almost new with only 33000kms on it)
and all the differnt stages it has seen over the years
around $50,000.

But if I was to go and buy another lux and build it up straight to where it is now without any of the steps in the middle I could do it for around $20,000 to $25,000.

Post by **MissDrew** » Wed Oct 30, 2002 5:42 am

I think another question that should be ask is how long have you had the rig for and how long have you been buying stuff for it for?

Had my current lux for over 5.5 years. Some things came off my old Lux but not much. So around $50,000 over 5.5 years mmmm not that bad at only $10,000 a year.

I have sold things off it to help finance new things but I can`t remember everything and every price :roll:

Post by **Strange Rover** » Wed Oct 30, 2002 6:48 am

Yea, I have had my rangie for about 3 years and have obviously spent more money on different things as I went along. Could have blown another 5 grand easy. But to build it again with no stuff up I think I could get there for around the $11000.

Between the two cars so far - $32K and another 15 to go!

Mind you - I ani't complaining - the 80 goes anywhere the 45 wouldn't....

Post by **bj on roids** » Wed Oct 30, 2002 2:04 pm

so you've bought a ute...is that for a project?

Post by **80diesel4play** » Wed Oct 30, 2002 3:30 pm

Nope - I bought the Ute first, then the 80 - sold the Ute to my uncle and actually made money on it.

Top ute actually, 3.6 vibrator with extractors and opened fuel pump. It flew along once it got going... Just a slug in the bush unless you got keen on the loud pedal... :lol:

I'm going to be making a whole pile of stuff for the 80 soon, sliders, rear bar, new susp', etc... and end up pretty capable, I'm hoping to have it all ready for next April.... with any luck!

Post by **Wooders** » Wed Oct 30, 2002 4:43 pm

For me if I was to start from scratch (yeah it would still be a Jeep :twisted:

), but there is now WAY I'd start with a brand spanking wrangler....
Then again I'll report back once I've got my CJ running :p

Post by **NICK** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 6:40 pm

did some quick math, added up what i have bought and then minused what i have sold, came to ruffly 16,000, but in the next 4-6 weeks add about 5000 to that.

longs, duals, beadlocks, 37's, decent shocks.

so i am going to say 21,000 add some,......mmmm...about 25,000 would cover it,

NICK

Post by **givathafat** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 6:44 pm

My Gu set me back $35000 add in another $5-6000 worth of bits and pieces and you get.... A lot :!:

No wonder Katrina complains every time i dent it.

Post by **CJer** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 8:22 pm

I dont think they ever stop complaining Dave. My misses hit the F*%king roof when i brock a rear axle and then had to get a set from the USA :-)
of couse i did not blow the price of the stock axle out to nearly the cost of the 1 piece

Post by **RUFF** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 8:36 pm

Well in the current form my lux is in(not including what i have spent on stuff ups getting it sorted) it owes me about $24000 including the $17000 i payed for it. But its about to get a full rebuild and that will prob add another $4-5000 to it.

Post by **OVERKILL ENG** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 8:44 pm

You guys make me look like a tight arse my rig upto tuff truck owed me $5000 in parts but who knows labour cost.

Post by **Strange Rover** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 8:46 pm
