So the other day at work, I was bored as hell. So I start to day dream. Eventually, I posed this question to myself: If I was given $10,000 to spend on my Durango, what would I spend? Here is what I came up with throughout the rest of my shift:
1. new Paint (Some variant of black)
2. repair imperfection on bumpers and fenders
3. Fastman TB
4. Gibson headers
5. new Cat
6. FM 40 Series Muffler
7. lift kit of some kind
8. black wheels and some nasty 35in tires
9. window tinting
10. performance brakes (mine are going bad)
11. ram air hood
12. head/tail lights

That might not be $10,000 worth, but it is a start. And Lord knows that I'll have a long time to think about all of the stuff I would get, because no one will ever give me ten grand!!!!

What would your list look like?

 

Might not be worth 10? A lil more then that.
My list $20k
1.) finish 4 linked susp
2.) R3 block-20 psi propelled-stand+alone Ign.
3.) Bullet proof trans

 

Got most of it.....LOL

1. new Paint (Some variant of black) ---- Macco $300
2. repair imperfection on bumpers and fenders ---- $600 Shipped
3. Fastman TB ----- $250
4. Gibson headers ---- Why? If installed on this system then they would need to be shortys.
5. new Cat ----- Again why? OEM flows pretty good.
6. FM 40 Series Muffler ----- $150
7. lift kit of some kind ----- T/ S is like $80 with a $150 body lift.
8. black wheels and some nasty 35in tires ----- Now were talkin..... $1800
9. window tinting ----- Only need the front windows done and like $120.
