How much did it cost you to go wheeling?

well for this meet it cost me
gas $220
tolls $24
beer$ 75
food$10
adm> $35
stories around campfire and new dings and dents PRICELESS

 

You forgot the cost of buying half of your truck from Toyota so yous had something to drive.

 

shhh im trying to forget that......
and my $427 per month insurance premium

 

Ouch.

 

X2...holly shit batman...thats more then the NJ real estate taxes I pay per month and thats hard to beat.

Scott - you must make some really good money for a guy crying poor all the time.

 

i am poor....

 

Travis from one of the alabama threads hydrolocked his engine while splashing in a puddle if thats what you are referring to.

 

I like to be proactive and replace things that are going to break with things that won't break, or protect things that will break.

With that said, I've spent more than I want to think about and I will spend a lot more.

But as far as trail damage costs: 2 new duracraps in one weekend. Even with road hazard warranty it still cost a couple hundred.

 

Holy shit, I pay a little more than that for six months.

 

it should be a rausch hazzard warranty
missed you there good thing we had kevin there to hear the sweet sounds of bottles clanking

 

Are you referring to me... I think you are!

Well then I guess your in for the winning breakdown! or epic fail....

Gas from Calgary to Whipsaw: Approx $150
Tow truck from Princeton to Penticton: Free
Hotel Room while stranded in Pentiction: $200
Shipping the truck back to Calgary: $500
Flight home for me and the dog: $250
New Engine: $1,000 (used)
New Fluids in the truck and full mechanical inspection: $1,500

Before Labour: $3,550

Saving grace was free labour, but factoring in labour for 4 guys @ Calgary rates ($120/hr) a full weekend (10+ hr days) = approx $9,600 paid in parts, beer, food, and knowledge.

Dealer quoted me $10,000.

SO for those of you around water quite a bit, the $500+ for a snorkel IS WORTH IT!!!!

 

My wheeling pretty much costs the price of some gas. I've got trails and dirt/gravel roads 5 minutes from the house that go for hunderds of miles.

 

Yeah, I was referring to you. Truck looks awesome now, I've been watching your build thread

 

Thanks! might want to check my build, just added some more to the truck and a bit in the works!

I have actually done more damage on the roads in Calgary then I have on the trail....

New front end after and accident: $3,500


New rear end after an accident: $2,500
pictures are pretty lame, but scuffed both bedsides, need a new bumper, plastic pads, and licence plate lights

The kicker is that they were just under a year apart, with the Hydrolock occurring just after replacing the front end.

 

I know when I go out to Mojave Rd for a weekend trip its at least $250 just for gas. One time out there I got stuck in mud which caked in the rear brakes and destroyed them. $450 to rebuild those.

 

$8000+

 

Ouch..... that looks like it was not fun!
