87manche Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Any clue on the tire size/axle selection??? :eek: looks like a 60 up front, probably a 60/70 or 14 bolt in the rear. and some gigantic boggers, I'd say in the 50" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 that LOOKS (note:looks) to be the most quality built huge MJ we've seen like that. most of them have scary shackles and stuff or huge blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaterjeep Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Geez, wonder the cost to build one like that. :eek: That's some extensive (and nice) work done to that MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 It's relatively cheap. Depending. How he did it is where it might differ from me. If he bought the axles, he'll have about $6000-8000 in them. If he built the axles himself, he'll have maybe $4000 tied up in them. If he's like me, he'll have $2000. If he's like my buddy Curtis, he'll have a 40 of rye and a couple hours of time in them. To build all the leaf spring crap is only about $100 in steel. To buy the springs would be near free (those aren't lift springs, see how flat they are and how far the shackles are dropped). Those tires are what, $1600 for a set? Less if you know people. I don't see beadlocks, so he's probably got $100 in rims. He'll have a few hundred in driveshafts. As to of what he has in the motor/tranny/tcase, who knows. Depends what he's running and how he built it. A good running 350 can be had for $500, plus whatever performance parts he wants. A TH-350 can be had for free, but $100 is reasonable. And a NP205 goes from somewhere between $50 and $200. Then there's all the little costs for the motor mounts and tranny mount and blah blah, totalling $500. Somebody want to add that up? I don't. Anyways, mud trucks are cheap in many ways. That calculated cost would be without 'lucky breaks' like a buddy trying to throw out a 14B FF with 4.56s, or some farmer selling a D60 for $100.

beaterjeep Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Good point there dirty. Upon further looking, it looks like he has the front leaf shackles built as part of the front bumper. Oh, and the total of what ya posted roughly adds up to between $7,500 to about $9,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 I will try to find out more about it. He is a member of the off road club I belong to so it shouldn't be too hard to get some info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
