You guys are so mean
I really hope he takes it as a joke, 100% intended that way
I think he Just bought a plane ticket.......
probably could not have this built today for twice that price?
There's certainly a bunch of things to like about this rig.
So far, the things I don't like about it could easily be changed. But, I'd want to see the underneath more and the engine bay.
I love how your quote was attributed to me, but it wasn't what I said!
If you paid for the labor, it would be hard to get to that number for sure. A handful of parts are also discontinued/unobtainable. I would love to see this in person to try to determine the era Blaine built this in - there's always things Blaine changes since he's always refining things.
Crazy, I was just looking over this thread the other day! Savvy Test Mule

Yep, that was not intentional.
The built rigs I've recently seen photos of would easily cost 2x-3x the asking price if paying for labor.

I figured it was some artifact of a previous edit or something - I was just giving you grief
My OCD would never allow me to buy this rig, I need a cohesive paint job. The stainless/black drives me nuts. Maybe a nice heavy metallic impact orange, high gloss paint job??? I know goes against everything this rig was designed to be used for,
The grille is a minimum need, no doubt. I entirely agree, I liked my jeep the best a long time ago but don't want to pay for a paint job.
Leave labor out of it and the axles alone are 1/3 of the asking price. 800 bucks a corner for wheels and tires plus the spare adds 4 grand which now has you almost up to 1/2 of asking. Add in 15-18,0000 for the base rig if you can find one and there isn't much in it for the rest of just the parts. Parts in a pile on the ground, not under the rig and working. If you want to copy the steering from scratch, add 4-5 grand.
Bring it up here some summer and we’ll paint it.
I've come back to this ad multiple times...someone bought a very nice rig.
