$13150

F*CK COULD HAVE BROUGHT A HYUNDI FOR THAT

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

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.

Sam

ill buy it today for $1100


me around the $30k i reckon on my two landcruisers

80 series - $no change from $26K... It was nice and unabused....
Bullbar - $350
Bodylift- $500 inc some other stuff as well
Tyres & rims - $1400
Maintenence crap - $500
Old HJ45 ute - $5000
Destroyed driver side sill - that'll cost @800 to fix
An I have 3 big dents in the passenger side sill now too - $600 more...
Spent a heap so far - with the wishlist pushing $15k ATM...

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....

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

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...

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!

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

includin purchase price bout 30 -35 tho

purchase $18000, easily spent another $20,000 on mods, up to about the fifth/sitxh suspension change now.

Geez hypobud
U could of halved that price had a sik zook like mine that drives eveywhere n more than wat your lux duz and looked a hole betta while doin it hahahahahahah




But honestly my pos shite has cost me bout 18 g's includin da 12 500 g that i paid 4 da suka
F bar- tyres - 2 sets lifts - rocketyhoppa- r air lokka n a few otha mods secret? 8)

the stickers arent a secret ya p00f and they realy dont makle it go beter thats in ya head. i just havent been able 2 tell ya

Mate
Da only sticka your pissed about is the 1 sayin ARB AIR LOKKA EQUIPED not sum piece of shite welded weldy rear
That keeps leavin bloody bfg muddy prints up n down my frikkin driveway u #$stard

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

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.

Dave

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

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.

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

I fogot to include the $700 for the winch so that gets me to about $11500.
