$40,000 for the chassis....
Probably chump change for the typical Kindig It customer. Definitely top-end no-expense-spared type of stuff. Fun to see, in a Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous/Cribs kind of way.

I thought the wheels were neat

Overall to me it’s too tall and tires too big
Just doesn’t look quite right
But they do quality work for sure .

Did they mention what the chassis costs in the show ?

I kinda skipped around in the show and missed it

Well, when a whopping ONE percent of Americans hold 25% of the wealth of the entire country then yup, to them$250,000 for a car that they might drive several times is like us spending a quarter.

Roadster shop RS4 chassis. You can get it somewhat cheaply if you don’t add any options. Doesn’t take much to get it to almost $60k. The wheels are one offs make by Evod. They make some pretty sweet wheels. They’re very similar to gateway broncos blarney wheel that I have a feeling Evod makes as well. Kindig made the flares for an EB that built years ago. They’ve had them listed out of stock on their website for a few years.

The similar Duff flares are 4 inches, that is a bit much for me. I think the Kindig flares are 3 inches?

Also, the part they put behind the fender well, passenger side, was a manufactured part. They stated they made the part, the barcode/sticker was visible on the underside. Reality tv.

That's for the IFS chassis, of which I've seen only one (Velocity-built green rig that was at SEMA about 4-5 years ago). This truck appears to have the RS4, which as someone else noted, starts at $40k per the website. When they debuted it at SEMA about 5 years ago, it was around $36K.

When we watch the show or other shows my son always googled the name of the customer to see what they did for a living .

Sometimes It’s “Mr so and so is the owner of a landscape company “ or whatever

Some businesses make good money and if the customer does it right , the vehicle is tax deductible as a business expense .
Same with all the local race cars , the person try at owns the race car does it as a hobby and figures out a way to make it tax deductible

I’m pretty sure several people on this very site have a small business that makes all their bronco expenses and travels tax deductible .

Pretty slick exhaust system on that rig.
I thought they talked early on about doing a 2-tone body, but I guess they just meant having a white top to make it a 2-tone. Or maybe they changed their mind on the colors? Seems possible.

Just started it tonight (way behind on my motortrend app).
I'm fairly sure I have seen that Bronco around before.
It was a very classic 80's AZ build. Triple tanks. Spare carrier with a jerry can holder. Stout home made front bumper.
