The dodge has taken the lead and the ranger is close behind. Considering I just spent $5300.00 on a fully built billet automatic for it. And then the ranger I just bought another longblock for it and 1100 in the cylinder head and 2200.00 in the standalone engine management for it. I need a different hobby. Lol

Well I hope you weren't thinking the Jeep "Addiction" was going to be cheap. What do you do to get the wife to sign off on that kind of expendatures on your toys. I have to get approval on oil for an oil change from mine!!!

Train air horns? Those are super loud. I found some once in a train scrap yard and before I could go get my tools to remove then someone beat me to them.
Cool on your life so far. What do you do for a living? I am retired or as my grand-daughter says "retarded"!

I don't think that RE is too expensive!! They make quality stuff, period!! You DO get what you pay for!! You can say what you want about Rusty's, but I have never heard anyone bad mouth a thing from RE, so you tell me. Is it worth a monetary compromise to risk your life with a chance of sub-par components?? Let me know!! Later!!

This is just a guess but $300-$600. You buy the kit and all parts and they supply the tools and labor.
