$3K sounds about right to me as well. With OEM SAS, it's already a good rig. It just needs an ultra-low-range adapter/kit(MC of course), some bigger tires, skid plates, and about 4 inches of lift to be trail-ready. Easy and cheap rig if your friends wants to actually off-road. I'm thinking what - $5K total to do serious off-road and nothing to do dirt roads and the like.
