[QUOTE="SnoFalls, post: 1005151, member: 16419"] What are the various "recipies" available to someone who's a newb, but wants to build a mild wheeler. As a basis, I'm talking about taking a stock vehicle, doing some lift+tires+lockers+armor (no axle swaps, or engine swaps, or anything major). Having that rig then be capable offroad for say 75% of the trails in WA, and also still be streetable (maybe even a DD). I also would like some reasonable estimates on costs for the base vehicle and the price on the mods. For example, a sami can be a nice basis, but recently even a stock sami commands a high price. Please avoid the "good deal" pricing, but reasonable estimates for what avg joe might be able to get. If you include custom fab work in your recipie, then provide a range (e.g. find a buddy to cut ya a break or pay up the azz at a "shop"). BTW, I figure things like winch and CB and etc are all common no matter which rig recipie is choosen. This isn't about price either. A cheapo recipie may not be the best for some who then wanna "add-on" later. Then again a cheapo rig could be treated as a "disposable" rig. Some rigs might be "better" as a basis for the "add-on" factor, so add a comment if ya like. I'll followup here in a few with one recipie, but would like to here from jeepers, yotafans, k5folk, etc. This topic may have been covered, but it I haven't seen it ... sry if this is :beatdeadhorse: I'm looking forward to hearing about ZJ recipies, IFS yotas, and more ...
