6k is a fair price considering the spec, or did you not read through the list of what is fitted?

Landrover comp trucks are boring, everyone's got one!

Yeah I read the spec list id say 5k max for me but obviously you cant built that spec to 5k and when you build trucks you loose money etc but each to there own I guess :)

Looks like an awesome build. All seems to have been done properly, so to speak.

Price is a bit steep in my opinion too. But break it for parts? And your talking serious cash. Not to mention the untold labour costs in building it.

If i said to a engineer "build me a....." It'd be more than £6k

I'd say for someone looking for a serious truck ready to go it's a good price.

Edit: i'm not suggesting breaking it for parts, just said it for a price comparison
