How much $ do you have tied up in your Comanche?

[Alexia]

 

$21,988.97

 

If you estimate my labor into building it for someone else: $31,108.97

 

152 hours of labor @ $60/hr? What if you worked faster?  :P

 

$40 an hour. I am cheap. :P 228 estimated hours.

there's "out of pocket".

then there's "how much money has been exchanged".

then there's "how much the stuff ive traded parts for is worth".

 

 

 

and then there's "how much my wife thinks ive spent".

i have all my receipts....that i stopped adding up when it got over $10k....and that was a few years ago....

[conker]

I don't keep exact track of it because Its not really a concern but for some rough calculation;

  $2500 purchase

~$2400(?) for trans/trans parts (ax15 swap)

~$1500 in odds and ends possibly (fluids, sensors, replacement parts)

 

So maybe around $6,000, And I'm not even close to done, this baby still needs to get locked front and rear, lifted and all the other wheeling goodies.

$350 purchase price $300 for parts and it has been on the road since.

How about I hire you to work on my truck?  Gladly pay you $40.   I am cheap also!!

So far in the Cummins...About $18000 in the past 2.5 years. Its still gotta be painted and I still have to buy a few more body pieces before that... So I'm gonna say in the next 6 months I'll have about $25,000 in it. If everything goes right. Then "performance" upgrades for the baby Cummins...few thousand more. It's never ending.

I'd have several well built Jeeps if I had that kind of disposable income lol

[benjy_26]

A whole lot less than going out and buying a new truck that I would probably have no lovr for and wouldn't havr half the character my MJ has.

Never really added it up but I probably have ~$18,000 into mine. Jeep was $50, engine was $3500, front axke $5000+, rear axle $2200, trans swap $1500, tcase $500, tires and wheels $1500, plus all the odds and ends, lights, switches, winch, on board air, roll cage, tube flares, roll bar, (plus the price of the bender and welder to make that stuff). It adds up fast, but its been over 10 years.

Pushing toward $7K and will probably get there.

I had never actually thought about how much I have put into my comanche before. Then I read this post and started crunching numbers in my head....I now want to cry.

I think I do have every receipt but since we are not talking about normal upkeep I will not go back and get depressed.  I guess 2 paint jobs, bedslide, new (to me) topper, helper springs, around 5k.  

Buck.
