I price my time very highly due to the quality, so with all my man hours mine has theoretically cost me around £713,928.47 ish

Erm... Probably not as much as Scottie, but certainly more than £1600.

I'm not even going to try to work it out as it's probably in 5 figures!

Over the years all mods, the service parts, various mods that have then been upgraded etc. really add up! it's a lot on an SJ that I would never see back but I don't care, it's been fun and I've had some of the best times of my life in my SJ!

1000s of hours have been spent on my SJ as well! could even include the price of consumables :lol:

I think for me its more a case of time and effort! I always do things for as little money as possible... but I've lost count of the front swivel/rear axle rebuilds i've done haha

I've spent about £1000 on it, not including buying it in the first place.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
