Guy on Youtube itemized his build costs. Even though the guy was a bit luxurious with his purchases choices and after the truck purchase of $40,000 he has $78,000 into the build. I’m guessing new Jeeps cost about the same.

Most of the Chinese manufactures' are using composite panels for manufacturing. It is ONLY North American suppliers who prices the sheets into the stratosphere

Thanks for the info. Each rig will be different. What is the bolt pattern on the seats?
