Craigslist/Good Deal Thread

That doesn't seem like a deal to me. 46k can go a long way. It wouldn't have stock axles

The JKU alone is $42k.  Also, how many can buy a new Jeep Sport and then dump $25k-$35k CASH at one time.  IMO, this JKU is a great starting point for someone that can immediately go out and wheel the medium to hard stuff. 

Crazy people, that's who.   Lol

BTW, I'm not talking about going out and buying something you're going to trailer.  DD/Wheeler.  I'm in the neighborhood of $57k wrapped up in my rig and still need RCV, Reid Knuckles, Regear to 4.88, and 37's (wear item).  But that will be another $5k which puts me at $62k and I still don't have tons.  But that is money spent over the course of almost 4 years and not shelling it out all at once. 

Has anyone gotten into this hobby/sport/obsession buying a trail rig, truck, trailer right out of the gate?  It sure would save a lot of money but we all ease into it.     //cheers2//

Jeez, that's a lot of $ for a mall crawler.

You should not keep a total, look at it, or share it.

Jay, @Raisinhead , explain this to Mike.

Me: Hey Honey, my Metal Cloak armor came in.  AllSouth is going to paint it and John is going to pick it up next week

Wife:  That is awesome, it's going to look so good!

 I told Laura I wasn't keeping a tally on the Jeep. She proceeded to tell me she was and gave me her estimate. She's dang near spot on. Give or take a skid plate or crossmember she doesn't know about.   //://

LOL - when I restored a '65 F250 (w/full float D60), I kept up with the expenses.  When I was done, my wife told me that it was about $2k light.
