Keep in mind that this is a conservative estimate.
2 hours a day, 4 days a week (I have a full time job so this was after work)
8 hours on the weekend (split between Sat. and Sun.)
2x4=8
8+8=16 hours per week
16x90 weeks=1440 hours
If I had paid a pro shop say $60 per hour it could have cost $86,400 but I am assuming they would have been faster than myself so maybe $60k.
This is a labor only estimate, NO PARTS $.
So, if you ever wondered how someone could spend $80 grand on one of these trucks now you know.
Lets see what the rest of you folks think you have in labor hours.
