What I wanna know is how you guys afford these trucks (Gas, Insurance, Maybe a Payment) and still have the money to put all these these mods on them. It really makes me want to get rid of this truck because of how expensive it is!!!

dont want to sound like a jerk but didn't you know trucks eat gas and are not gas saver's? why would you buy something you can't afford? just asking because my son did the same thing. he had to have a 4x4 with 37" tires and it sets in my driveway because he cant afford the gas!

It kinda helps when you have a understanding wife. My wife doesn't understand that's why I have few mods.

I usually buy my mods for my truck when they are on special or when i can get a good deal. And even sometimes used. as well do some DIY mods, they are always the best IMO.

for example i picked up my fuel rims(new) for $550 installed out the door, waited a couple of months looking for the best deal, until i found them from a smaller business, when 4wheelparts or any other store wanted 700 for the rims alone.
even my mag hytec cover picked it up online for $125 shipped when they sell for $250. Find deals or coupons online.

take it slow when modding.
