    Default wanted m715 parts

    Memory brings me pretty close to 7000 without working at it very hard. Tell me again why I thought I had to have one? 2850 on the second one. Tell me again why I had to have two!

    I put all the reciepts on my CJ5 into an excel spreadsheet and like you I was very surprised at the total! I haven't done that on the M yet (kind of afraid to do it!), but I'd say including purchase price it's gotta be in the $7K to $8K range now. That includes the new set of tires I just got, but not my time.

    My M715 about 8500 with all the fixins.. My CJ I bought 23 years ago. I have well over $90,000 into it. YES 90K! I have the box of receipts to prove it. I could build the same rig for 25 K now. Why would anyone ever do something like that I have no idea. And to think that it is totally obsolete now with all these rock buggies that are out there.

    Besides the purchase price of $1000 I have a little over $100 bucks in mine, but then again I haven't done much but tune it up right now. My problem is time, which probably isn't a good excuse, but it's the only one I have.

    pain the wife is inflicting on me over it - priceless

    if you count the junker donor truck (j10) - about $2000 and not running yet.
