So I was sitting around the other day thinking if I got a good deal on my XJ. So what do you all think it is worth....

6K - 8K
8K - 10K
10K - 12K
12K - Plus

1984 XJ
4.3 Chevy Vortec
4L60E Tranny
231 Full Time 4x4 T-Case
Triangulated 4 link front and rear (long arm)
8" Coils all the way around (approx 10 plus inch of total lift)
Exo & Interior Cage
39.5/16.5/16.5 Boggers about 60% tread
H1 double beadlocks with PVC upgrade
14 bolt rear, 513 gears and Spooled
HP KP dana 60 Front w/35 spline outers, 513 gears and ARB
Spicer U-Joints (large style)

Tons of work has gone into this rig. And I feel with a little bit of work from myself that I could get it to do anything that I want.

At my first thoughts I had the Axels alone at over $4500+ (for both), that would be if you had to buy piece by piece.

Just wanted to see everyone else opinion on the matter.
 
Sorry brutha, but cars are only worth what a guy is willing to pay for 'em. Like all things valuable, their worth fluctuates depending on trends, collectability, popularity and so on.

You might be willing to pay more than I would have been because of all the fabrication already done to it - maybe because you're not experienced in fabrication, tube bending, welding and so on - where as someone like me who's got experience in fabrication and welding might look at it and feel like it could be done cheaper than paying for it up front.

For example, I've got probably $10,000+ total into my '93. There ain't no way anyone is gonna give me that for it...... My realistic value on my rig to sell it would be roughly $4,000 at most.

Personally, I don't think you should ask anyone if they think you got a good deal. The most important thing is if you feel you got a good deal. Do you like the rig you bought now that you've had it a while?

If you're doubting the deal, be prepared for the comments you'll get...... I'm betting you paid quite a bit more than most here would have been willing to pay....... but I could be wrong too. I remember what the previous owner started out with for the price..... he'd have had to come WAY down for me to be interested.

My $.02 anyway..... :thumbup:

Thanks Yellaheep - that is pretty much what I was thinking. Actually I feel that I got a hell of a deal. The way I see it - there has to be over $4000 in the Axels - Dana 60 HPKP $1200 - Gears/Rebuild (just parts)/Locker/Acc./ETC $1200 - 14bolt - Gears/Locker/Brakes/Rebuild (just parts)/Acc./ETC $1600. I maybe a little off - but those are just my guesses. Then the fab and suspension. I was really just seeing what the collective thought about its valve - I guess it is more that then if I got a good deal.

By the way PM sent.

A pic would help alot
 
thanks Fankz
 
not to be an ass (but to be fair, you did ask for opinions).....but it seems to me that if you have to ask on a forum whether or not you got a good deal, you probably didn't....

if you truly believed you got a good deal, this post would not be necessary

....but maybe that's just me :)

I did ask for opinions - so your not an ass - I did this more for a piece of mind for my wife - she doesn't believe anything that comes out of my mouth about how much I feel it is worth. She also doesn't believe how much a DANA 60 HPKP axel is alone without all the parts that I have in mine. I know what it is worth to me, I was more or less just seeing if everyone else feels the same.... :eeks1:

I figured the responses that I got would be about like ours so no offense taken... :eeks1:
 
$38.50 :)

that's fair enough :)

as far as the rig you bought.....it certainly has some time and $$ put into it from the previous owner. as long as you are happy with it, that's all that matters :clap:
 
I will be happy with it once I actually get some bugs worked out and get her on the trail. I will be actually tweeking on it on the 4th getting her ready for Moab - I know it is early but hey I can break her in on other trails in the mean time.
