Heck I'll have more in parts then $10,000.Just sent out a check for my RockJock 60,AtlasII,and RE control arms----$7300 alone,then $1800 for tires and rims,$2500 to complete my HP44,$1000 in the steering,and then god knows how much for the new driveshafts.


Oh then ther is the custom bellypan and new cradle----$$$$$$$$

I should have qualified this, $10,000 minimum for SFA. There is no maximum now is there

My build page- RL Komodo Rear and TJM Front Bumper, armored, lifted, JBA Steel D30, 4.10s and ARB air lockers.

I agree. even doing most of the work yourself, the parts (lockers, gears, axles, control arms, skids, diff covers, wheels, tires, springs, shocks, etc.) really add up fast.
I think the biggest and best budget build was the original one (on this forum) by JediJeeper a few years ago. He did all his own work in his driveway using junk yard full width axles, etc. and then wheeled the crap out of it in Utah. I really wish we could get him to spend more quality time on here.

I think all told I spent about $15K Retail for everything.
(Granted, I didn't spend that much... but if you did mine, that's what it would have costed you for the parts)
Then labor. Lots of labor... about 80 hours worth.
