Bed cage costs

i was looking at a guys recipts from DMZ and a whole lt rear end from tim will set you back 10k and some change thats including glass, shocks, bumps, driveshaft work the whole 9 yards ect... yikes

 

HOLY PISS!!!

 

10g and I would hope it is a least linked, if he spent that much for a leaf spring truck that would be retarded

 

check it holmes I love DMZ but im poor. More power to Tim ahah

 

nope, just spring under. damn

 

that's the white extra cab that for sale on DR huh?

 

yeeea buddy! i can see why people want so much for their DMZ built trucks, it must hurt when they find out there not going to get anything cose to what they want though.

 

$10 grand....

Makes me glad I'm learning to fabricate more and more.

 

over $5k in labor alone? Makes me glad I am trying to learn too

 

My bed cage was $750 at Krawltex

 

I know its not a taco but i responded to a craigslist fabricator add in placerville, ca for my xj bed cage/hoop.
C-list may be a route you should consider if your looking to save some bucks. He showed me his past work and it looked good so i went with him.
He charged me 500bucks for all the tubing and fab work on my rear hoop/bed cage/bumps/re-worked spring perches in my xj.

I need to take a wire wheel to it and make this shit look purty




It's tied into a cage now but i saved a ton of time and money and am happy with it.

 

dam. i paid pretty much that for a full cage 1 3/4 .120 wall DOM, boxed frame, spindle gussets, alot of extra welding, and hes helping me set up my whole rear SUA, fuel cell, etc.



but it wasnt through a well known offroad race shop either.

 

hmm nice pics! what can i expect to pay if i have shocks and bumps already, for a basic no bed saver rear end?

 

garage fab, or a shop like sdhq?

 

anything really, im just tryin to price it out a little bit. i got like 3k saved up so far+ shocks. any ideas on a nice honest shop for a quote?

 

PM adam, seriously. he's done a lot of work on my truck. he'll take good care of you

the same amount of work from a garage fab guy could be $1,000, and $8,000 from sdhq so it really depends.

 

for sure man thx! good lookin out

I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers...Maybe you're thinking for a complete Spring-Under build including Shocks, Bumps, Springs, Shackles, Bedsides, 4130 Bed Cage and all the fabrication time spent (TIG welded).... Can't get that for $1000 anywhere bud
