[QUOTE="Im84, post: 442151, member: 5614"] I've sold tow rigs,trailers and just about anything to build the stuff I got. Building everything that you can helps a bunch. I haven't bought so much as link mounts,shock mounts,motor mounts. So much of the time building this **** I wonder why in the hell I'm drilling all these hole or cutting all these brackets, but if I had bought it all I wouldn't be able to progress somewhat steadily. My last three builds have stretched to the two year mark start to finish which helps. Every ounce of overtime usually goes to something with a motor in it. I'm at the point I can't do it anymore after this build with kids getting older and the activities they get in are getting more expensive, and time is premium. I can say that I've built three vehicles from scratch. My orange tj buggy on 54's , my f5 tow pig, and my current buggy. And I can say that I haven't owed a thing on any of them during or after their builds. If I didn't have the money for lug nuts I didn't buy them. I'm a Pipefitters by trade, make decent money but usually not over 100k unless a **** ton of ot that year. With that being said if I made a **** ton of money I'd have a jimmy smith rig built for me and a wide open design rig built for me. There's nothing wrong with paying someone to build you a rig start to finish, I would do it if I had the money. But at the same time when someone asks you who built this and you say I did it doesn't matter if it's a 10,000 k rig or a 70,000k rig. It's worth the time and individual pay checks you spent on it.
