Well to buy on they start at what 8-12 k? So build is no brainer, all done I will be well under 2 k, biggest expense was aluminum tool boxes to save weight

I meant more the progress you make in a weeks time. I'm lucky if I can complete one small project in a week....

Once the doors latches show up and doors are finished I will start shoving our gear in and be able to set the axle so it can be permenantly attached, then all that's left to do is small platforms on both sides of the wheels/wheel wells mount spare and wire lights, I also need to finish the front hitch

All in all maybe 2-3 days work left, just depends how fast some stuff goes from my brain to actual build
