What has all the cage cost so far I have a 05 fx4 crew cab I just took off the road frame is gone fist size holes just after leaf spring front perches on both sides….. don’t know if I should just junk it probably should 260,000 miles interiors mint and it doesn’t skip a beat.
For the interior and exterior cage alone from TEDesigns, it was probably around 5-6k. If you factor in a couple hundred hours of time, welding and fabrication, electricity, consumables, a new interior, tabs and mounts, new fuel setup, and new suspension it would probably be closer to the 20k mark if you do it yourself and depending on how you do it ex (Do you want a stock rear end with leaf springs or links, do you want the stock fuel setup or a fuel cell).
The hours and consumables don’t bother me but I’m not willing to sink 5k into it for just chromoly I mean idk possibly my supplier might be cheaper I mean more then likely it be a payment queen because there’s only a couple tiny off-road places in the northeast so maybe dom
Keep going! These projects are tedious but worth it in the end.
