[QUOTE="DirtMonkey, post: 631933, member: 2435"] The last couple of years it seems the prices went bananas. I see YJs on junkyard axles, No Atlas, stock engine, and shoddy finishwork selling for 15k and Im like Lol...then it sells and I'm like WTF :****: Things seem to have slowed, but after the new year, it will likely take off again (tha'ts what seemed to happen last year) There seems to be a (sizable) price point so avoid hack rigs. Its amazing when you really start looking at rigs everywhere, how many you see that have questionable welds, fabrication and overall design that immediately throw a red flag. If you are particular, it can get spendy... I have noticed that there is a significant jump in price if you just throw an LS motor in it. There is nothing wrong with a good, reliable TBI engine, but it seems everyone has to have an LS motor...and that alone will bump the price up thousands. Guys who can build there own rig know that you can do an LS swap fairly cheap, but it seems to be the equivalent to a kitchen remodel. people who see that, close on the sale because cool kids have it, Something else I have noticed there is much less high end parts in the classified the last couple of years...You used to be able to look in the classifieds here and on pirate and it would be full of high end tires, wheels, Atlas's, rigs...now, not so much. Some of this can be attributed to FB classifieds. [/QUOTE]
