How much have you spent on your rig?

[fad2blk99]

I made the terrible mistake of running a report on all my truck-related expenses with my accounting software.... $12,000 on my current rig alone since '01! /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif That's not counting the cost of the truck itself $3,900. For 16 f-ing grand I could have done a lot better if I had it to do all over again! /forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif This is also not counting the rig before this one!
Boy, if the boss found out about this there would be hell to pay! /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

Dude... that is the one question that ya don't ask.. or that ya don't want to answer. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

Lets just say between my Blazer and my Camaro, it could have probably been a down payment on a cheap house or apartment.

I got my K20 for free; and drove it home. It was stock when I got it and I have put in about $3500 in repairs and modifications.

TOO DAMN MUCH...

At last count, I was at 14,000 (including purchase price) and that didn't even include my recent D60 with x-over and hydro...

I just spent over $3000.00 in the last month doing my recent LT1/4L60E swap (not including the prices of the engine/trans) and new 42" Iroks. It goes QUICK!

 

[pauly383]

Mine is pricey too , and its not even EXTREME like a lot of the rigs here /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

Not including my truck's purchase price, I have about $200 in little stuff. When I first got the truck it needed the front d-shaft rebuilt, and then needed some brake work. I put 12,000 relatively trouble free miles on it as my DD.

THEN,
the Rockwell transfer case, clutch, starter, windshield, and 2 tires ( pass rear and spare /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif ) all sh!t the bed simultaneously, so I parked it and bought a Buick for DD, lol.

Aside from that, I got a bunch of stuff for cheap. Dodge D60 4.10 $150 (needs total rebuild), Eaton rear axle 4.57 w/ Detroit Locker $100, NP205(465 version) $20, 465/205 combo FREE (along with seats from an '81 K5), 4 Ford steel pizza cutters with cheap tires $50 (to replace stock split rims /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif ), and a 5.14 geared load bolt centersection for the Eaton for another $50, with good gears and bearings. So that is around $370 for hard parts not counting consumables. Pretty good I think.

Dont wanna know. /forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif

Never will know. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Some where around $6-8K including $1150 purchase price.

About $1K I dumped into the 6.2L before I heedlessly ditched it. In hindsight, I gave up on it too quick. I didn't realize that I had 3.08s; I thought I had 3.73s. If I'd known that while I had the 6.2, I'd probably done an axle swap instead of a motor swap.

Blah, blah, blah... I digress.

 

[hawkeye649]

$4,100 ... purchase /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Hmmm does gas count? Probab about $20,000 then, cuz I sure as hell don't have any of my earnings from last year!

[Resurrection_Joe]

Trail rig - $10500 or so

K5 - $1500

K10 - $750

 

[tRustyK5]

What I spent versus what I could have built for the money I spent are two different things. I probably have over $15K US into my truck and you can't tell at all.
