What the heck! He only paid $80 for tint too!! I must have really gotten shafted to pay $300!!!! :cry:

Yea, this thread is a nice way to see if you paid too much or got a good deal on stuff for your rig. I obviously should have shoped around for window tinting!

That $80 was just for my front two windows. I'm sure your $300 was for everything..right?

bike4miles

Yea, that's for all of em. I feel beter now.

anyone care to share, how much they spent on gas. Here in Hawaii its $30 a tank. And I fill every 5 to 6 days. Now thats gonna bring me to tear after I find how much I spend on gas. Plus gotta add maintance......I wish every thing in life was free.

Counting the JET Chip ECU mod and the 2.25" exhaust with free flow cat and muffler sitting behind it there's well over $4500 just in this picture:


I haven't done much more than that on the truck really, few hundred $$ in antique Alacan springs, around $800 in black steelies and 31" MTR's, few hundred more in Spicer coarse spline slip yoke and stub on rear driveline and a rear diff bearing overhaul.
When I finally find somebody to buy it (assuming I don't convince myself to keep it), I won't even get the $ out from under the hood :pat:

I dont have exact numbers but here's my best guess so far;

Truck: $22000 + 5000 owed on dodge Ram
Lift: $1000
Tires: $700
Sonoran steel panhard and shackle hangers $200+-
Bumper & Winch/ rope recovery $1500
Lockers,compressor and gears (not totally installed): $3300

Damn I put alot into this for my wallet but its all worth it as long as the gears and lockers workout.

hmm, I was thinking about this the other day as mydad was asking my how come every time he sees me there is something else stuck on my truck but I don't have a job. He just doesn't get it

Surco rack = free
Hellas $60
brush guards $550
Cornfeds $200
Sub & wires $175
Satoshi give or take $90
Led dash and blue gauges $60
Footwell lights $20
99 console $60
Tires $?
Bulbs $40
Amsoil $40 or so with the oil and ship
Fuses I've blown messing with things $10ish
Trailer hitch from dragr1 $60 w/shipping
My truck not looking like the 1,000,034 silver/pewter ones $worth every bit

That's about it. hopefully soon I can add either a locker or LSD to the list. But for now I 'm stuck here. Oh well, a boy can dream..

Costs me $75-90 to fill my tanks. Done it twice now with gas as high as it is. Quite painful to the wallet.

I traded a broke down IROC Camaro for my pos 4runner, but I had about 5 grand in the camaro so; $5,000 vehicle purchase price
$120 new clutch
$450 engine rebuild
$87 starter
$20 auxillary backup lights {cause the factory ones don't work}
$22 belts/hoses
$40 water pump
$40 used bike rack {makes those pesky breakdowns so much more fun}

and the price of all the stress and anger I've suffered at the hands of the 4runner; priceless

bike4miles

How is this possable? What exactly did you do?

creepingdeath

$190 for the machine work{block honed, cleaned, etc., valve job, installed new pistons on the connecting rods}

and it was either $200 or $250 for the rebuild kit I got off of ebay, came with rings, gaskets, pistons, timing set, oil pump, and some other crap
