ddm502001 Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Have to be Honest, makes my paint work look REALLY Bad. But I Do NOT have $150K to put in just the asthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Wellll, it certainly displays a high level of craftsmanship, but I wouldn't trade it for ours to pull a camper. Can you imagine pulling into a gravel campground with that thing? Low branches, kids on bicycles, etc? But, customs usually aren't meant to be practical.

rickeieio Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 If you watch the video, he said they put $150k-$180k into the truck. I would imagine a huge part of that is engraving and chrome, and trinkets. They also did the paint in house, so much labor, but their own. I'm sure the whole truck is a business expense, which just means he didn't pay income tax on the money. He still spent it.

ddm502001 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 We have a small farm, deduct as can those expenses to keep Tax time out of Loss Column. I will deduct my expenses on the KW, just is FAR below this guys costs, labor cannot be deducted. I am putting Weight Tags on the old Blue Beast, so can be a deduction on taxes where RV cannot, can still pull a RV with it just as could with a Farm Pickup. Best can conjure up after two years I will have less than $55k in the machine including reduction from traded machines, cannot buy a decent used Ton Dually for that.

rickeieio Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Just be careful how you expense the truck against the farm. When we first bought our Volvo, my accountant said it was fine for the farm to buy it. Buttttt...... that makes it commercial, as it's part of my compensation. We bought it out of the farm corp., at a loss, and put it in our personal names. However, it didn't hurt that we also had a Mack for the farm, and the same dealer had parts for both.

Does that mean the Mack got a new cab suspension crossmember, sourced from a remote location? Inquiring minds want to know.

Inquiring minds want to know. No, I'm just some dumb, not plumb dumb. Actually, I bought all the new cab suspension parts from a Volvo dealer, before I knew my Mack dealer had a relationship with a Volvo dealer in Kentucky. But, I did stock some common parts that fit both trucks, and sometimes forgot which truck they were originally intended for.
