    Not even close, unfortunately. LT kit for the front would top that mark by itself. Skidplates are around $700 for Bud's stuff. Sliders are near that mark. Wheels and tires ~ $1500. Bumpers can be pretty insane.

    We have some expensive interests! :cool:

    You might want to get a valentine one radar detector. It's always nice to know if there is a cop around radaring people. I bought one 3 cars ago (passport escort) and hardwire it to each new vehicle. Best thing I put money into and used forever.

    Agreed with above.....if youve got 4500 dont skimp on the lift. If you plan on driving on anything more than a dusty paved road get good stuff the first time. Trust me, ive broken enough cheap shit to have finally learned the hard way.

    Good Quality Coilovers and UCA's...and get a whole new spring pack for the rear, it will be worth it in the long run

    Nothing against toytec, but if you have the money, why not get the good stuff the first time around?

    Well I know most shops here in Oregon, could definitely hook you up with a LT kit, and a bumper for under $4,500. If your a PBB member Bud usually slides you a little discount as well. I also thought sliders were around $450, not $700...

    Sliders - it depends on what you get and from whom...

    I am in the market for some right now and AllPro Offroad has bolt ons for $399. Demello has weld-ons for < $400 but their bolt ons are > $600. The shrockworks (which I'm leaning towards) are $700.

    So, it just depends on what you get and from whom.

    I have no idea how being from a diffrent state would change the cost of anything. Look at Camburg Total Chaos of All Pro....you add shocks and front axles and your there, not including the rear.

    Out of curiosity, what shop are you talking bout in oregon? I lived there my first 20 years

    lets see, Eastside Off-road, 4xKrawler??? I have lived here My first 21 years, as well.....why wouldn't price change from State to State? Beer is not the Same price everywhere, neither is Truck accessories...

    Just Curious why the Shrockworks sliders, over the AllPro?? Allpro's are much cheaper, and guaranteed just as good. Well about $50 bucks cheaper, but still.

    Shrockworks = $450
    All-Pro = $399

    FYI you can also check Locally for someone who builds custom sliders, bumpers, etc...I had a guy down at Central 4wd, quote me $225 for custom sliders. Just research a lot, for the absolute best price.

    But, beer is sold by many distributors. And is also affected by local taxes. It is more expensive in Oregon due to the nazi like OLCC.

    LT kits however, are purchased direct through the manufacturer, which there are only 3 of.

    Not sure where I got the >$700 price on the shrockworks unless I was factoring in shipping - even then it's only $625. No clue.... :)

    The All-Pros aren't bad, but I'm not sure I like that little kickout they have at the back. Plus, based on the reviews of both on this thread, the all-pros are pretty good but the shrockworks can take a nuclear blast and keep sliding...

    And I'll be driving down to the Houston area over Christmas, so I may be able to just pick them up rather than pay shipping, depending on the lead time.

    And I checked locally, but can't find any fab shops that will do sliders. I'm new to the area, but I called around quite a bit.
