i have seen your ute, and a nice ute as it is, its hard to see where all the money has gone into it, so wheres most of the money gone into it?

and what happened? did you put it on its lid? :(
a new ST cab chassis cost $52k before you even start on mods and if you fit the best of everything sometimes twice after you brake it, then it not hard to spent that sort of money,and no i havnt rolled it just lots of damage from driving canyons and creek beds
ahh, that makes sense, i can see 30K in the ute, easily, id heard from someone it was that much no including purchase, but seeings as including purchase 80K is easy. and a very nice ute it is :)

I dont know how much I've spent & I dont think I want to add it up..
All I know is my rover addicition is keeping me broke..... because
the bloody thing usually ends up broke-n.....
Everything for a rover costs 3 times as much as it does for a yota..
yes I'm a slow learner :roll:

$1000 Lwb zook
$1000 front and rear bundy/lux diffs with 1 air locker
$600 6.5s
$110 range rover/TJ jeep coils
$300 14x GQ control arm bushes
$150 CRX seats
$900 33x12.5x15 Super Swampers and 15x8 steelies
$20 Ford power steering pump
$50 70 series power steering box

So, $4130 unassembled. Thats been spread over the past couple of years whilst planning and parts gathering so it hasn't hurt too much. I still need to buy steel for links, cage, sliders, front and rear bars and all associated bracketry so maybe add another few hundred to the end product.

As soon as I finish my bike build its game on. :armsup:

Like some of you guys the wife had some problems with all the time and money I spent on the "other girl" so I had to trade her in.

My new lady is much more understanding and enjoys going out in the Disco too!

Just a word of warning though to anyone who is thinking of trading the mrs in- if you thought your fourby ended up costing you way too much - dont even think about separation!
