Did I charge him $10k for labor? No. Does he have much more than $10K into the truck? Yes. After wheels, tires, hydraulics, misc parts... it adds up.
Just quickly... $1,500 wheels and tires, $2,300 hydraulics, $700 batteries, $1,000 stock truck, $600 hiem joints, $450 5 lug conversion, $250 tailgate skin, $270 spindles, $150 new front bumper, $300 driveshaft, $200 brake lines...
this is just stuff off the top of my head and it adds up to $7,720.
That doesn't include any materials for the build, or any of my labor. Plus there is so much little stuff that goes into a build like this that adds up really quickly. Think of all the sheet metal, frame metal, 4 link, a-arms, nuts and bolts... the list goes on.
