so, would you pay 80k for that jeep?

your answer is (i'm assuming)NO....... because 'you could build it better for cheaper'  this i assume as wel........

erego, why is that one worth 80k?  

whether you like economics or not, they will tell you the story......

right now, they're telling you the market value on that jeep is well under asking price..................

$60,000 will build a much better offroad jeep by a country mile. 40k would build a better jeep. So, yeah its worth 35-40.
Its a show jeep. Its well built for show and shines. i am sure it will be a wonderful street queen.

I guess you guys have never seen anything camp has owned. He does go off road and there not street queens.

So 40,009 will build a better jeep? I'd like to see you build a better jk for that. Even if you bought used your looking at 25,000. Add on a lift, rims, tires, bumpers, gears, and winch. Your moneys almost gone and your jeep still has no power.

You guys crack me up. Just because your all freaked cheap and stuck in a bubble doesn't mean this is only worth 35-40. Your statements of its worth what I would pay are flat out stupid.

As for the axles. He ran out of time but also stated that he has had just as many breaking issues with 60's.

Yeah, I guess most jeep builders usually leave the axles till the end, not really that important anyways.  But a $10,000 paint job and a bunch of gay electronics, that's where the performance gains are made. ::)

I perused their website and it seems that forgetting about axles is a common theme....but then again the high school chicks at the mall probably won't notice.

42's on dana 44's sums it up. That is a street queen. No roll cage. Street queen.
Fancy paint and electronics...street queen.

i would rather buy a TJ for 5g and dump 35g into it. i am pretty sure it will do better offroad.

DCJEEP... what's your story?  You seem passonate about the subject... I guess you really like these show Jeep guys. Good on you man


The value of a Jeep is in the eyes of the beholder. I'm sure you understand that.


You're  not making friends by calling people names. :-[

Is it all about making friends? Right?

Frankly, once you've strayed into the "cost no object" stratosphere I'd take an ICON Toyota FJ40.

I think you need to crawl back into whatever hole you emerged from when you decided to come onto this board.

Either that, or go back to posting with your forum name that doesnt require you to take on the traits of a raving idiot.

Anyone into anything automotive knows that your labor is always lost, and you are lucky to 50 cents on the dollar for parts.

I have a jeep that has over 60k in parts alone. Hundreds of hours invested. Competition proven. I'd be lucky if I could get 20k for it.

Anyone putting "1000 hours" into a rig and expecting returns on that time is an idiot. You defending that retarded logic makes you just an idiot as well.

Hows that? Am I freaky cheap and in my bubble enough for you?

I love how fast these forums turn from constructive and joking to mud slinging and name calling!!!
I think it looks neat but would I spend $60 to $80 K on a mall crawler heck no (family friendly)!!!

These jeeps are for the same guys that would spend $150 k on a lambo...for the average guy this is neither practical or affordable!!!

But it was still fun to see the arguements!!!  ;D

Looking at the site where this came from, it is apparent he is selling the stuff at overinflated prices to Shieks in the middle east.
i did see some though that at least had 60's in them but they were a mere $110,000.  Chump change for the oil folks.
