I went through all my receipts since purchasing the vehicle and I'm about 25k deep all in, with around 3k of that labor rest is all parts. That said, the truck has all the features and conveniences of a modern vehicle and has been gone through from front to back mechanically.
Some of the highlights:
Wireless car play head unit with backup cam
HID retrofit projectors
Supercharger/7th injector
Icon suspension
BFG KO2s
Transmission overhauled
Is 25k wayyyy too much to spend on this vehicle? Depends how you look at it. She has 210k on the clock, and I intend to double that circumstances allowing. She performs as good or better than any vehicle you can get for the same money, and I can do 90% of repairs myself. Going forward I anticipate mainly regular maintenance costs and a low cost of operation.
And if I decided to sell here in the Pacific Northwest where these vehicle are incredibly popular? I wouldn't let her go for less than 18k, and I'm pretty sure I would have offers. That's a better return on investment than buying a new vehicle driving it 100 miles and selling it.
