How much do you have into your truck?

omg are you guys serious....is the price of materials down there that expensive? My blazer is projected to only be 10,000 max if I went with the twin turbo.Thats including the formula one style frame,cherry wood accents,and prototype juice suspension.
Do these numbers everyone has added up include 2 or 3 makeovers or times you changed direction in the final plan ?
Though I guess these numbers all really depend on what you originally paid for your truck

Derek, you must not have ever seen the truck in person. Ask anyone from AZ, there was probably closer to $90K in it. NO JOKE, and my ass does not hurt. I am counting the two times the truck has been built. 7 magazines later, now the majority of sponsors come to me. I don't even have to ask anymore. So, the trade off is.....spend the money the first time and your future builds will be easier.

just out of curiosity, can you please explain how you put 45k in that truck twice, when your just bagged, on 22's, with only the tailgate handle and rollpan beeing the only two major body mods? Your center consol looks the same in both. Did you pay 30k for each paint job? cause i'm honestly not seeing 90k in there with what you listed as a stock v8 under the hood. Did you have 90k in coke hidden somewhere? lol

quite a bit if u wanna include shit thats not even on the truck anymore like static drop the old wheels/tires stereo switch box nad guages that were stolen. 2 set of gay apc taillights i had and took off, uh 3 sets of different headlights till i go what i liked finally, bumper that i cant use anymore cuz its too low. quite a bit if i were to add all that in.

minus the $35000 for truck purchase price and the inflated sponosor shop labor fees.Dont forget the $20 doolar bottle of windex and 10 ply paper towel.By the way I hold the deed to the brooklyn bridge ...wanna buy it ?

50 cents....or $50-$100/week for 3 years and 75% of tax returns....whatever is more pleasing.
I seriously have a garbage bag full of receipts....someday I'll add it up.

im close to 5k im sure... im not even bagged... yet

i bought my original 20z for 4gz in 2001...shaved handles,emblems,earl schieb paint($300), roll pan, bagged...20z and s10 bodydrops had just started i was at $10000...i thought i was ballin...5 years later...i could be makin mad interest in the bank off the money ive spent on my truck...could have paid off my house at 25 yrs old!...havin cover truck dreams can ruin ur life...my s2000 engine cost $5000...22z cost $3000...look what im doin...guess the final figures...damn damn damn...

Yea I was including the cost of the truck in my spendings, along with building materials, grinding discs, sawzall blades, shit like that. I plan on having less than 10K in it with full paint, the bed and interior. But to get to Reso, I'm probably looking at close to 7k without a bed. Lol.

13-16k somewhere in there.
