Traded a truck I was into 5 grand (was up for sale for 3k), Not wheeling yet due to no funds because of no job.
My Ghettro gets wheeled more right now, traded a winch for that, 10 bucks worth of wiper blades, 45 for speakers after that. (Okay, it's more rally than wheel, but I have done trails just to show people that they had nothing to worry about in their stocker pickups)

you getting rid of the race jeep kenny, or you just thinking about building a wheeler too?
i picked up my 56 willys for 1600 and just been wheelin the crap out of it. already had lockers, a new 350 and 33's. pretty capable rig for being so tiny. i put 60 bucks into it to fix the radiator. ima drop a bunch of money into it this winter hopfully so it wont be a cheap wheeler anymore.
Paid $1400 for it, sold a bunch of stuff off it and rebuilt it cheap... Had a lot of materials given to me and a lot of trading... I'm into it for under $3000 including what I originally paid for it...
Didn't pay anything for my d60, into it for $75 with 4.56s, 35 spline outers, high/rear steer knuckles, beefy tie rod, 1350 yoke and a massive diff cover...
Into my full hydro for under $150...
Propane free... Two tanks, mounts and hose on the cheap...
14bff $40... 4.56s, disk brakes...
Tires I actually made $... Right place, right time...
I could go on and on...
I do have a **** ton of hours into it though...
EDIT: I also built it in a borrowed garage with a borrowed welder and Harbor Freight tools...:redneck:

My yota is kinda expensive but it's be built over many years...
The 94 rodeo that I picked up off of here for free on the other hand I have maybe $100 total into counting the fuel money to go get it and get back. :haha: It gets the ever loving fawk kicked out of it with open diffs, gutted interior that provided about 2" of rear lift and 4 turns on the front torsion bars. to level it out to clear my free 33x12.5" mall terrains that I grooved..... Hell now that I think about it I sold the rear dana 44 for $100 to a buddy but he said to keep it till I blew the rig up. So far so good, although after this weekend the front end is making some FAWKED up noises. :redneck:

There are no cheap wheelers, just cheap owners.

I had a quad I traded for a Toyota that I (after a few months) traded for the Zook. The quad was up for sale for $2,200, but have seen one on craigs list with a lot of the same work done for $900. Put nothin into the Yota but a dent and some work (bobbed it 14"). As far as what I have into the Zook, $20 for the spray in bed liner and $10 for axle seals for when I welded up the rear. The most it has cost is in gas to wheel it. I do have a set ot yota axles I got for $375 that will end up in it when I have the $ for the YJ swap.:redneck: Sooo I guess I could say I am $930 into it:haha:

The 85 extra cab I have now I bought for 800, sold the stock front axle and spare trans for 700, 260 for gears, 200 for a locker, 300 for a winch, and the 33 boggers of of my old xj. $860 runs and drives great. I did have some stuff like another 85 parts truck I got for free, but thats close to the price.

I'm not as good a forager as some, so my sami no longer qualifies as "cheap", somewhere between 5-7K.:haha:

If I end up building mine the way I want to then mine will be around that same price range, and that's with fabing most of it myself. As of now I am just pulling the parts together and that is slow.
