Hi, My name is Bean, and I have a truck mod'ing addiction.

Custom ordered my truck. Before it even came in I had ordered:
McGard tailgate lock
Dee Zee EZ-down tailgate cylinder

I put these on the first day I owned my truck.

In the two days that followed I ordered:
Bumper grill for ecoboost center hole.
Bumper pad so I could remove the front license plate holder

Now I just ordered a BakFlip F1 and I'm thinking about getting a line-x bed liner before the BakFlip comes in.

I now see that I have an addiction. Please tell me it will wear off soon!

Bean

I have noticed that the price of the mods keeps getting higher and higher.
I guess my bank account will be the limiting factor.

I fell off the wagon again.
Just got a pair for BedStep2 for the new truck.
Well, I'm done for awhile now. Bank account has $6.14 in it.

You think it's bad with a gas burner, then don't ever get a diesel. I've had 4 diesel so ask me how I know and currently still have one. Your checking acount will suffer really bad.

I've gotten to the point where I try to convince my buddies to buy things, just so I can install them for them. That helps, until I like the result and buy the thing myself...

Every weekend I end up setting my wallet on fire because of my truck

Is that 10K in mods or is that mods and the truck combined?
