Bought my 94 for $800.00
After that I started fixing stuff and have never really totaled the receiots up I'm afraid to. The stack is like real big. But it kept me occupied. Maybe this post will get me to actually get out the abacus.

lol...Dave I was wondering how much your total would be. That's really not that bad for the lift and rims you have though. I'd expect 6K alone just for the lift you have.
for mine...I bought it for $2000, $200 for a pair of tires...$140 wheel bearing, and all my mods I'm probably into it close to 3K. Not too bad for a year of ownership so far. This year is a maintenance year for me though, so expect that amount to climb quite a bit. I need another wheel bearing ($140) an O2 sensor ($80) axle seals ($12 a piece) new rear breaks (unknown?) a new set of tires ($500+) and the list goes on and on lol.

That's true Dave...I never thought about labour costs. I'm the same way with my truck though, I forget what all I've done to it. I have to keep going back to my build thread to remember all my little mods I've done lol.
And Wil - I didn't even include the amount of $$ I've spend on gas over the last year. It's easily into the 1,000's. I'd estimate probably 3000-4000 on gas.

I got my blazer for 8k.
Probably about $800 on my stereo
$600 on lift tires wheels
$100 on my roof lights
$150 on the bump bar
$50 on the cb radio
$150 on new seats
So I've probably spent a good $2000 on mine so far.
