If you had it custom built, *perhaps* it'd cost you 25.
My friend Scottie built that, and sold it a couple of years later for £4k. And made his money back.
Sure, those are 40" tyres, not 52's, but seriously - THIRTY FIVE GRAND???
I'd be hesitant if he wanted thirty five hundred!

That looks to be slightly more than I got out of the 2008 Yaris. I do mean *slightly* too. I wasn't expecting to see it get that far, but it's still not great, is it? I mean, for that kind of money, you'd want to be scoring 1000, have pneumatic/hydraulic self-levelling suspension, e-lockers, a gym and a jacuzzi...

for that sort of money i would expect something like this
The other option you could go for with that kind of money is to have an extending chassis. I saw a vid of a rock crawler from the US, who's wheelbase extends (on hydraulic rams, I guess) and the whole front subframe moves forward, for when he's climbing steep stuff.
I can't find the video, though!!!
Or option 3: Combine both ideas, and add mattracks (or similar).
Option 4 - all of the above, in 6x6 config, running hydrostatically.
Option 5: All of the above, plus gym and jacuzzi...

Not really into gyms.
How about a swim up bar in this jacuzzi?

As long as you can get a pretty brunette into this picture somehow, I'm sold on that idea.
In fact, forget the truck. I'll take the Jacuzzibar and the girl.

For that kind of money? I'd get my current SJ rebuilt from the ground up to showroom condition, get a 413, fit a 1.6 litre engine and a Scamp Rowfant kit-car body, buy a LWB Samurai KJA and get that restored and still have enough left to get my Mum a new kitchen.
