$6500 to start with and that's about it for a year or so. I'm thinking 1999, but from there I have no idea.
I want a back country (rocky mountains in Colorado) elk hunting rig that will haul my 2 kids, wife, and five days worth of camping gear. It won't be a daily driver, but I will drive it on the street a lot! I also plan on using it in Moab at least once per year.
$6500 is what I have for the purchase, lift, and wheels. The rest of the mods will be added as I save money--bumpers, winch, fuzzy dice, etc...
I've read that the 99 is the best year (I want to give this to my son when he's 16--he should be born any day now) to build on. How much money should I spend on lower (more out of budget) versus higher(less out of budget more $ for lift and tires) mileage?
Are any of the alloy wheels that come stock worth using, or should I find one with the stock steel wheel and replace them?
Oh yeah. I'd prefer to buy a bone stock model and do all the work myself.
Thanks in advance.
