Crash is da MAN !

I've been following along since this started and I am blown away by the ability and the artistic craftsmanship !


I would like to know what kind of price tag is on this type of transformation ?
Not that I want to do it - just damn curious !

Great work Crash !

I could tell you but, I am not since it is not my rig. But this should help you very very much!

Let's just say that Gibby will have to tell it ALL! But the work is so clean and perfect, that I want only Crash working on my rig!!!!

Mike prices every project individually, so I'm not going to give out his price. Mike is welcome to if he chooses.

I can tell you that in PARTS, I'm at around 10K, but don't tell anyone

That doesn't include the axles, suspension, lockers, tires, wheels, rear winch, on board air system, just the changes that have been made since this project was started around Christmas. It does include the new front springs.

Whoa!!! Your wife must be VERY understanding. My significant other would hit the roof if I even thought about laying out that kind of paper.

She gave up trying to figure out what I have put into the rig. But the $$ comes from doing neat/creative stuff like this....
