Buggy Build Dreaming.

P · Jun 6, 2007

Im putting pricing together with sponsership from the 4x4RockShop . Basically no other outside help.

Im guesstimating 600.00 in materials but really I need to confirm cost on 1.5x.120 DOM ( that could hit 1k )

With Atlas, New Air Shocks, Nitro Bumps, Art Carr shifter D60 ARB , Alloy Usa Axles, CTM's

Anyone wanna stab at what it would cost right now ? :-X

A whole lotta jack

5496.43 With what is listed, without the 1k for the chassis.

If I went JJs all the way around Id be at 5923.79

Id still need inserts for said JJs , Wheels, Tires, plumbing, seat , harness, wiring, and whatever I decided on for panels. Then required saftey items to be comp ready.

Realistic estimate if I built it and didnt scrimp to the bone. Id be 15K into a comparable rig...outside of the rear axle ( Im still thinking Id run a welded Disc'd shaved 14B for XRRA, with dual brake pedal setup for cutting the rear brakes with the Atlas in frt only. )

Its really not that bad considering what I could build with 15K and have to show for with 0 sponsered dollars.

Not gonna happen right now or soon. But I will build a buggy for myself one day. ;D

Tryin to make out if I want to go into the trouble of hacking on the stock H2 clip I have laid up against the shop or not. Joe, what are your thoughts on hacking away at a stocker front clip ? Also Id need to get a damaged or new grille that goes into the clip to make it look the part. WTF is that gonna cost

Im gonna hop around humvee.net and see if I can find one thats cracked or something someone will come off of cheap as balls.
