nice vid, wish i coulda made it out with you guys, looks like you had fun and a pretty good turnout too....i might be moving back out to socal, so i'm hoping i can make it to the next one...
I wouldnt say thats much, considering the front end I saved $550, the rims I saved about $350, HID's I saved $60, tires I saved about $220, bumpers I saved $1000, glass I saved $950, and thats just having friends in the industry.
Now the Ranger is a diffrent story, I have over 35K into the truck after buying it for 14.4K and only wanting to put a small lift and bigger tires on it. As it is right now, I have a 50K paper weight.
This is how it sits right now
As far as bi-pass's go, I paid $600 each for my 16 inch King Triples on the Ranger, and $550 for the 10 inch 2x bi-pass's up front. And thats not getting hooked up since there is such a small mark up with King.
My shocks are the Prerunner series and not Race, personally I dont see the point in anyone not racing to run the race series, even then its still not really needed for most to run.
thats a lot seeing that the truck doesent have long travle. and if you have 50 grand into that ranger i think your on crack. is it even linked...
HaHa, have you ever fully built or had a truck fully built? I'm talking caged front to rear, custom dash, 1 off front end with heims and uni-balls, race seats and 3 inch padded harnesses, bi-pass's on all 4 corners with bump stops, full glass, 6 4000K's lights and 2 KC's, ect. **** adds up real quick.
This is why I would not ad up all the receipts for so long, cause I knew where it was going to end up.
And for the Titan, you have to be kidding my, I'll break it down for you a little simpler on how little I have into the truck regardless whether I have a long travel kit or not.
Camburg Front End:
Retails for $1800+alignment and cams($165)+tax, I paid $1450 otd
HID's:
Retails for $135+tax, I paid $90 otd
RG rims:
Retails for $1500+tax, I paid $1293 otd
35' GoodYear's:
Retails for $225x4=$1000+tax, I paid $700 otd
Those parts alone I have $3533. If you can do better than good for you
