Steve,

That is a pretty impressive list and not an unreasonable price considering all that you have done to your rig. Gives us guys who are in some stage of modding our rigs a parts list to work by! I think about the only thing on there that I would really have no use for considering my geographical area is the Marlin crawler.

I did notice that you have some cornfed spacers front and back with your SAW/OME setup. About how much overall lift do you figure you have on your rig?

Exterior
Griot's products - $275
Porter Cable Orbital - $155
WeatherTech Visors - $100
Bug guard - $75
TRD Decals - $15
Window Tinting - $60
Clear Corners and bumpers - $140
Taco Whip Antenna - $100
Hella 500 fogs - $100
Yotatech decals - $20

Wheels & Tires
(5) Tech 1 Rockcrawlers - $353
(5) Goodyear MT/Rs - $925
Black lugnuts and lock set - $53

Interior
Maglite - $25
Husky liners (all) - $275

Performance
Deckplate Mod - $10
Amsoil air filter - $45
Rear Diff Breather - $20
Hayden Tranny Cooler #1678 - $100

Lift/Suspension
2" Roger Brown body lift - $166
Panhard Drop Bracket - $0
E-brake bracket - $0

Recovery
(4) Shackle hangers - $0

Total so far: $3012

Front 1.5" spacers are on Bob's old shocks and springs, which are my "backup"

The rear 1" spacers I needed when I had the rear tire carrier, now that the tire is back under the vehicle, I have taken those out and use 2 OME trim packers.

Still 2" front and 2.5" rear.

Don't want to bother listing it all, but in the range of 7 to 8 grand. Most of that was the great mistake of blowing up my engine.

I won't count tires as part of it since I need those to drive the truck and replaced a set that was warn out. I also did not bore anyone with street mods. I have a decent stereo, tinted windows and some other stuff that likely adds some. Just thought I would throw this out there partly so that I could know as well.

This truck, as it sits, will and has run solid 8's and 9 out of 10's in Colorado, 4's out of 5 in Moab and has done Martinez Canyon in Arizona.
