Adam,

$1115 for a 1985 toyota 4runner with 198,000 on the odometer, had a junkyard tranny installed about 2 years ago with clutch and u-joints. after i bought it i found out the rear fender was nothing but bondo, the owner even said this truck has NO bondo in it, what a crack head. but hey he was my boss and was paying me 6 an hour to fix shit soooo.

Which truck we talking about? I have built 5 of them now, and to think about it, all the trucks had a purchase price of les than $4000.

Dimtiri

I got mine for $10,000 including taxes($6400US) It was an ex-CP Rail fleet truck, saftey yellow paint and all.

$200 for an 83 toyota longbed and almost new 35" bdg all terains

I want to take this chance to point and laugh at all the Built to the hilt Tj owners out there....

2k for my original owner 1977 K5. well maintained. too bad the freshly rebuilt d44 went out and a d60 went in :D the 14bff i put in was badly need tho...:nuke: :D

$300 for tub, front clip, and some springs...... led to a hole lot of $$$, but worth every penny. and none of you are going to get it!!! was for sale but i'm not givin in!!!! :flipoff2:

If you don't want to post how much you paid you can at least vote. :idea:

Paid $431, and am still under $3000.

i bought my 91 yj 3 years ago for $ 5000. add 20000 and yah got what it is now.

Paid $4500 for my '85 toyota 4x4, about 5.5 years ago.

It's been my Daily Driver ever since, just now starting the buildup.

won't say cause it's still kinda "for sale".:flipoff2:

My 78 fj55 cost me $400
it is now scattered all over the back 40 in pieces........but one day it will be cool.....I hope

My CJ 2A also cost me $400.........and all I kept was (some) of the body and the title..........the rest was from a $200 toyota pickup.........and now most of that stuff is gone and it's going back to American parts, the only Japanese things left are going to be the steering column and the brake pedals/booster
$500 in engine (4.3), $200 in trannys (420/T19/D20) and ($$$$$$$) in D60/14Bolt

$4250 for a 1988 S10, regular cab, long bed, 4.3, 700R4, 31" A/Ts. Lots of flashy chit that came off and a really neat stereo!

$2500 89' XJ

82 Toyota pickup-$325
82 Toyota Trekker-$500
84 Toyota pickup with lift, tires etc.-$400

I used parts from all three to build into one and parted the rest out for a profit.

Tass

My cost me over $20,000 in '99 'cause I got it through a divorce! :D

Bought '62 FJ40 for 2 grand, was planning to restore it but made it into rock crawling rig instead. Invested approximately an equivalent to 2.5 years of mortgage payments. Fawkin' money pit. *disgusted sigh*

Also bought '85 4Runner for 4.5 grand and use it as daily driver. However I had fallen into the dark side and spent almost 10 grand into it. *evil laughter*

-nc

I paid 500 dollars for a 82 lwb toy 4x4 no trans.

Paid $500.00 for a 86 4 Runner minus motor.....still under construction but growing daily $$$$

Well I bought the cj5 in 97 for 1300.00 with 33s and the 350,th350 and all already there. I just bought a 91 YJ for $400.00 and will spend way more than that before its through.We also paid $4500.00for our 92 expirer, I mean Explorer. I didnt know it had a dont drive over 150,000 mile label on the bottom. Damn lifter tap. It had 120,000 when we bought it 2yrs ago.Ok I am getting carried away now but the best price so far on any rig was the 15,000 dollars for a 91 32ft bounder with a new 454 and recent tranny. Its got 80,000 miles and is like new. We love it. I could sellit tommorrow for 30,000.

I paid $3500 for a CLEAN '74 FJ40 with 78k miles. The truck was pretty much stock except the PO included a '76 hard top and doors too. I stopped counting the $$ spent when I started re-doing modifications I had previously done.

LOL.. I get that one... just this last weekend I tore apart one of it last mods and redid it... Thinking... didn't I just do this a few months ago? :D

i don't have 4k in either of my rigs total. but i am a cheap ass. the land cruiser has 1770 total and it ready t hit the trail today. the zuk has about 2200 in it and its on the road also. i am including tags and inspection in both prices. i would rather spend my money going to oklahoma/colorado/utah and all over texas wheeling. both rigs have served me well. mike

$800 for my bone stock 4runner, and I don't even want to add up what I've sunk into it, but that's part of the game right?:flipoff2:

$500. for an 82 Toy, the motor ran but smoked, and the interior was gutted.

Paid $1,000 for my '80 Toy. Came with the lift & a set of 35" radials already installed. Sold the tires, engine, spare t-case, & tranny for $650.

So, I had $350 in the truck before the good stuff went in & just barely kept it in your lowest category AFTER the mods were complete :)

TEX

$2950 for an 85 $Runner.

88 Toy pickup with a trashed 4 banger - $500
have almost sold enough unwanted parts of it to recoup the purchase cost ...

- jack

I spent $2400 on my flat fender and it came with SM420, V6, detroit, power lock, 33"s, full roll cage, air compressor and lots of other cool stuff. Oh yeah then it all took a dump and I had to replace everything.:mad2:

I spent $4500 on a super clean CJ7 and promptly totaled it. My insurance company liked me so much they gave me $6800 for a payoff on it. I then bought it back for $800 and have been beating it ever since.
joe

I gave $3400 for mine. I was stupid and paid to much. That was almost 3 years ago though. When I was dumb and not POR trained. :) It was rust free from texas and had a 4.3/th350/203 in it when I got it. But that was not enough so I took it all apart. :)

$600, 76 scout, still under $2k, including the pair of 60's waiting to go in.

$1,600 CDN ($1,000 USD) for the truck, 292k kilometers on the odo, lotso rust on the bed... Dosen't run anymore, needs some work. :crybaby2:

Have an additional $1,000 CDN into it now, and I figure it needs another 10-15k. :evil:

67 jeepster and 73 jeepster/commando for 750.00. Needed two to make one:D

$400.00 for a 48 WillysCJ2A. So far I have about $350.00 more in it but still working on it..

I traded a chain saw for my 78 scout 4 years ago.

Paid $500 for my 83 chevy stepside, almost $7000 into it and still need about $10000 to be where i want to be. go figure--it had AC, speedo worked, wood bed, power windows and locks, super clean interior, and a camper---

Paid $17,500 for 97 XJ with 13K miles in 98. Got another $6K or so in it. Have wheeled the piss out of it. Least it's paid for.

Well I bought Snoopy for $400
http://www.dandcextreme.com/beater/800/image/beginingl.jpg
(yes, those are monster 27" tires)
Then added some mods
http://www.dandcextreme.com/cage4.jpg
(yes, those are tiny 38.5x14.50 TSL/SX)

Im finally finishing it up with Full-Widths, 5.38s, Spool,4-link 1/4 ellip (rear) and 3-link w/ coils (front). Oh, and power steering.

But I figure that $400 was a good base and now its smog exempt!

How bout 30K for my 94 Eddie Bauer Bronco when I bought it new. And yes it is my offroad vehicle: 38s and coilovers :flipoff2:

$3000 new....should have spent less. Not much left of the origional!

$19,000 and put around $3,100 into it so far....Long way to go, another $1500 will fly out the door in the spring for gearing/lockers, not to mention other things I need (want)

Funny thing is, I had a paid off YJ that only needed an SOA and decent axles, and I would have been set. I got whiney cause it was a 4 banger, and caved to the new vehicle syndrome :D:( :crybaby2:

78 ScoutII running (after putting gas in it) 345/TF727/D20/D44's, flat tires, and two messed up rear quarters.........

$29,500...LR D90...Whatever...If I had to do it over again? Well...Hind-sight is 20/20.

Bought a mostly stock '70 Bronco for $2000 almost 15 years ago, put countless thousands into it and just traded it for a mostly stock '69 Bronco and $4000. What the hell was i thinking??? :eek:

$25,500!!:eek: Put $5,000 in so far and there is at least that much more to go before it is ready.:D

Jason :)

$0 for my '72 CJ5, unless you count the points I had to replace.:D

I bought my '81 Toyota Trekker from my dad for $1600. Then I had problems with the tranny, so he knocked off $300 from the price :D then I did and engine conversion. I sold my 32x11.50 Dunlop street tires for $150 and bought some 36x12.50 Buckshots for $75


With ly '85 Toyota xtracab, I bought a complete 2wd truck for the cab for $250 and had a '82 4wd frame already. Still in progress. The most expensive things on the truck are the 38.5x14.50 SXs :D
